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

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.

    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same. 
    • I have an elite 2500 running an adapter harness on an rb25de neo r34. I took the butterfly out and removed all that junk. But I also went Plus+t at the same time. The butterfly thing works in reverse to the boost solenoid on the Gtt if that makes sense
