As some of you are aware, Andrew and I are doing a road trip in Sinbad to good ol sunny Cairns in 2 weeks.

I've finally convinced Andrew that we should put mesh over the cooler, it's the one thing I'm concerned about.

The paint is easily fixed, it's ****ed anyway, so I don't really care if it chips. The cooler on the other hand, I don't really have $2500 to replace.

So, if someones got some mesh lying around that they don't want/need (big enough to over lap the M-Spec front bar hole), and would like to donate it to my "help erin protect her cooler on the way to cairns" cause, please let me know!

Alternatively, we can just go to supercheap and pick up some of their mesh for $30 and some sikaflex for $25 and be done with it.

In true Andrew style, he wants to use zippy ties :P

So if anyone can help me out, please post here!

No :rofl: Not kangaroos.. Just rocks from hitting my intercooler.

I've been informed that we can use sikaflex by 2 different guys that work for panel beaters. Apparently we can just "heat it up and pull it off" when we get back.. Has anyone used/done this before and can confirm it?

Don't use heat risitant Sikaflex...use the regular one otherwise it will be a bitch to remove without melting your front bar...

Also another idea that I have used before is wire fly screen from Bunnings, the plastic stuff would most likely not be strong enough!!!!

Dankies Jason (oops.. I mean Melv) :cheers:

Someone did mention fly screen but we are a bit concerned it wouldn't hold up over 4000k's... is it really that strong?

Erin, your car is fast, but it dont do 4000kmh. It should be fine. Just supervise Andrew if he is putting it on, make sure its done rite :)

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
