depending on what mesh your looking for.. obviously if your looking for that ricey mesh stuff i think auto barn gets it.. you can spray it black, but with my old car i needed to find a bigger peice to fit fmic part(i know i dont have one, but the hole there) so i was looking around, and auto barn arent that exspensive, its just in general not cheap..

if you just want some basic black stuff to protect intercooler etc, then NIZ30 said he asked a plumber or somethin for some, paid $5 for enough to do his bar twice over(from what he said)...

hahahahah and u rekcon Jetspeed is gonna do a better job!??

Frank trust me , just get some mesh and do it your self, don't give it to jetf**k i mean jetspeed, :D

i can't stress that enough

i was reading on *cough* ford forums that theres this place called Metal Mesh up in Terrey Hills that has alllllll sorts of mesh, even some nice stainless steel stuff in different sizes and gauges at very very reasonable prices.

i think its www.metalmesh.com.au

check it out

i gotta head up there for some nice stainless stuff soon

umm so far they do look like they make good stuff, but me and dave called them, for stuff like what auto barn has..

you get it in like a sheet of 2 m by 1m,

and it costs $115 i think.. well its over $100

so it might be wise to split it with someone :S

i got mine from a place at smithfield area the places name is

ULRICH aluminium (i think thats right).

they had a couple of different types to chose from including the most popular/common types

i got a full shet (2mx1m) for mine for only $50 easily enough to do the front bar on 2 cars. mine is a 400R bar so i used quit a bit but still had heaps left over.

best way to fit it is to take your bumper off measure the size of each individual piece of mesh,(from the inside of your bumper) with enough excess mesh to fold over the corners and sides of the holes your putting the mesh in. once in place with the side folded over use hot glue to secure it, easy as that.

the hot glue is very god for this cause you dont need to drill ugly holes in your bumper.

mine turned out great.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
