Hey Guys,

So I've been chatting with a guy who does some pretty interesting motorsport stuff and has some useful contacts in the relevant industries.

We got talking about Carbon Fibre, and he has contacts that specialise in manufacture anything in Carbon.

Structural parts, decorative elements, panels; anything. One offs, and multiples.

Is there any particular accessories that people would like me to enquire about?

I was thinking that if there was enough demand for specific things like ducts, trim pieces, bonnets, wings, or whatever, I could organise a group buy and save us a bucket of money.

I know I'd like to have a raw Carbon Nismo rear wing, but I'm sure there's other things that people are after.

Anyway, have a think about it, and let me know either through the thread, or by PM if you prefer.

Cheers, Dale.

Is this the guy that was going to do the suction pipes originally? His got an axis?

If so don't hold you breath and be prepared for 50 million questions on how to fix his car with no sign of return. His a gunna and his using you for info or something else!

Hmmm, I thought this would rear its head after the issues that you & Andy had.

They have recognised that there were issues with the way they were dealing with their potential customers; in their own words "Our speciality is Carbon, not remembering to chase up customers and answering the phone" I think that's true for most specialists in motorsport; customer service comes second to the product.

Especially with the experience you had; they were in the midst of 2 Superlap builds worth huge dollars, both to the customers involved, and to the future of their business and a showcase of their ability.

I spoke with him pretty directly about your previous experience; and that is exactly why he is involved with them now.

He believes that the issues from before won't be a problem, as he now manages that side of the business.

Anyway, I'm putting it out there as it was a service offered to me; if people don't want to use it, or can't decide what they want, then so be it.

It may happen that any Group Buy will come to nothing; but given my experience and track record, I thought it was worth a try...

He can ask me all the questions in the world; I'm not particularly useful anyway...

Meh. If it works out too expensive, so be it. If we can use our collective buying power to get a decent price through volume, or at least get someone making this kind of stuff for the M35, then that would be awesome. But we don't know until we get more info and give it a crack.

guage cluster LOL for both the tv section and the top glovebox :ninja:

Too hard basket mate? :P

Thats a good idea, but how would you design it so it doesn't look like an after thought? Not sure it'd work with the Aero bar?

you could cut out the inprinted area and design it so it replaces that section. Only food for thought

Ah yeah, diffuser to clip over the top of the aero bar (I wouldn't want to cut mine). Looks good.

As for that gauge pod, I think it sticks out far enough that you could replace the glove box cover but keep the DVD drive where it is. That would be awesome since you never use the DVD drive anyway, just need it plugged in.

maybe a stagea version of this

http://justjap.com/s...&cat=261&page=1

like the idea not sure how effective it at actually is

I have one of those on mine (aluminium, not c/f), someone on here used to make them. They are excellent for holding tools while working under the bonnet, no sign of whether it actually helps cool the engine or not.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
