Hey guys,

Merry Xmas to all.

Over xmas to get away from the relos I've been thinking of making up some heat shield templates (proper style) to produce for the cefiro.

Considering there are none off-the-shelf stuff would anyone be interested to get a few made up (i'd be able to show ya the prototype, which would be made of aluminium lined with rubber). I'm hoping the end product to be made of welded steel sheets lined with rubber. This will also have the pipe inlet part "one size fits all" so us with z32's can fit them as well as those with stock pipes.

To keep costs down I'd either let you do stick on the rubber, or buy a fat-fat sheet of rubber to stick on so hopefully it'll be cheaper getting it in one hit (so you have it sent out to you ready to fit).

It'd have a space for the washer water bottle thing so it would be a straight swap if you had a pod. Depending on how the welding would be done it MIGHT be possible I'd be able to have 2 versions, where one has the top part left off so that if you wanted to go buy some acrylic so you can see your pod you could. (interest in this?)

Considering I don't have a standard intercooler I'd probably need a few guys help fitting it so it would fit people with stock or aftermarket gear.

If so how much would you be willing to pay? I realise most of you are pretty handy so you could do it yourself but hey if we can pool in and get something organised we might be able to save money and have a template set lying around should we need more.

So.. basically. I'll be making a prototype out of aluminium. If noone wants any I will just continue to use that. If you guys do want some and we can have enough put together to make it worth-while for all I'll make some up and start sendin em out.

If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on this that'd be great too. One thing I'm yet to work out is if you had a stock AFM and a stock intercooler, where would the air be fed in from? I've never seen the stock snorkel - so as I said I'd like to have a look at a stock one after my initial prototype is done.

kursed you up for letting me check your car out sometime in the new year?

Again - I won't be bothering if there ain't enough interest so let me know.

Merry xmas again - remember double demerits and shieeet so be safe and legal!

:D

Any suggestions where people with a stock intercooler would get the air from JK?

Yep!

I have probably 3foot worth of that flexible cold air pipe stuff the 3inch stuff. Now it goes from the front bar, and sorta sits when looking directly at the front between the intercooler and the radiator (for obvious reasons we still wanted air flow to both) then it goes up behind the head light, (left corner) runs below and behind that, the come out and the air flows directly to the pod. If you go have a look at the car its a lot easer to work it out. I noticed a HUGE difference, so Id guess the box would help even more.

But just one question, is there anything that would sheld the heat better???

pitch - how much would it cost? are we talkin for the cefiro? dishhhh it...

davo - could you please take a pic for me?

And steel won't be great but the rubber will be. I'm thinking that the best stuff would be something like the stock box but that involves moulding, not cutting and welding so ideally yes that composite plastic stuff (i'm not sure what substance it is) would be ideal but... practicalities.

I wonder what non-automotive shop does that sorta stuff? Like... people who make boats or something that could just whip something up from a design?

Ok, best pic as I can get due to no digital camera. I should give you a fair idea on where the pipe is going. On mine it stops flush under the light, but we did have to cut out a small amount of metal. Its tight, but its not kinked and doesnt flop about.

Hope that helps (God bless MSpaint!)

Dave - Thanks for the paint-a-gram. Where's the pipe fit in behind the headlight?

kursed - thanks mate I might have it sorted with cef11e so I'll checkout with him first and then we might trial on yours... See how we go.

The only place a 3inch pipe can fit :P There aint a lot of room in there. We got the scars to prove it too. But if I look between the bumper an the light you can see the pipe there no worrys. (my front bar kinda hangs a bit low, there shouldnt be a gap)

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
