Hi guys,

prolly been asked before, but i looking to put a fire extinguisher in my R33. Does anyone have any good suggestions on where i might mount one? I think the R34 have bolts underneath the rear seats, but didnt see any when i glanced before..

Reluctant to drill holes into cabin if possible, unless covered by floor mates etc. If it becomes a nuisance to passengers, then just bolt it in for track days etc. I think someone also suggested putting a bracket beneath seat rail.

Pic would be appreciates if anyone can be arsed.

Cheers.

Ha ha - thanks Duncan ! You are a sport ! :D

Problem is that I can't spell exqutingwisher - so no good on the search - I guess I could copy & paste - but hey:

Yeah - I am lazy. :)

I was thinking out mounting my Super Cheap extinguisher to the A pillar - I guess not hey ??

use the bolt that holds your back seat down to mount the bracket. There is a bolt on both sides of the car in the back,near where your feet go

The extinguisher needs to be in EASY REACH of the driver. Strapped into the seat, it will be difficult to reach around and grapple for the extinguisher.

I've mounted mine on a strip of Aluminium fixed with the 2 bolts that hold down the front of the passenger's seat. (I used to have it on the driver's side, until I stuck in a Recaro on a Bride seat frame)

like this:

yeah, i should have done a search before.

i did find the bolt in the rear, was considering using that. depends on if i have time.skills to fabricatre a strip for the front seat. i thought the seat adjuster might get in the way. the bolts didnt look to line up easily.

I've mounted mine to one of the bolts holding the rear seat, passenger side. I tested it and find that I can still unclip it and reach it reasonably quick.

yeah I had no troubles reaching it there, and it was out of everyone's way since it wasn't at their feet.

OK, I have checked with one of the guys who will be scrutineering your cars on Sunday. He says that mounting the extinguisher behind the driver's seat will be OK, as long as you can easily get to it.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
