Engine tune questions

Hi Hans,
That`s looking really good. Sorry I can`t offer any advice, but I would love to know, where you got your strut brace from as well.
Regards,
Ian.

Thanks for your advice guys, I will look into that and keep you all posted on the progress. That hose you said about has been adjusted and reclamped since the pics and should hold fingers X.
In answer to your many questions, I am a welder fabricator by trade for 20 years & have the added benefit of being the works manager at my workshop in Peterborough, cambs.
So, yes, I did design and fabricate this non FIA cage and it is welded in as bolt in ones are weeker and more complex & therfore more time consuming.
If any of you are local and have a spare £300 cash and dont mind leaving the car with me for a couple of weeks, let me know and I may be interested.

I also made the strut brace ends and was donated an old Skyline alloy cross bar which worked a treat. Again, if some of you are genuenly interested then I may be up for making a few. Would be about £60 each, I would need a few orders to justify getting some alloy bar and tube etc..

I also made my own air intake box (though this is a one of due to head light conversion & relocating various components to make way for one of intercooler pipe)and MAF adaptor plate for the cone filter to bolt to, I can make loads of these in stainless steel for about £10 each.

Cheers, Hans.

if your gonna use it for drifting i would advise fitting some steering rack spacers if you havent already, and if your going for 3rd gear+ probably a t25 for a bit more grunt?

[H8NSKPAUL]

Steering rack spacers...interesting....to get more lock to lock.
What do you recomend size wise?
Cheers.

Hey good work my friend, you have the same alloys as me, where do you live & if you get intrest would def be intrested in a strut brace.

i second that am intreasted in strut brace i was going to buy a s13 one see if it fitted

[datdrift]

i run 5mm spacers, i think driftworks stock some 3mm ones for the s13 that fit? s12's have shit lock as standard so this is one of the best drift mods for them otherwise your be forever spinning out whereas if you were in say a s13 you would catch drifts much easier

I`m definately interested in buying a strut brace from you, if you are prepared to make some up, that would be great.
Would they be just plain alloy or would you be able to anodise them ?
If anyone else is interested, perhaps we could get a bulk order going .
Regards,
Ian.
P.s. Have you ever thought about rear strut braces too ?
