Very nice Kaan Can't wait to see the end result of Lee's labours on mine, having seen yours coming together so well

Can't wait to see this Luc! My money is on you destroying it!

Noooooooooooooooo!

Lol yeah, I know the station mate, it's one of ours. Top quality FME covers.... washable and re-useable too lol

No deffo next year for me mate.

Cool...... Convoy it is then!

LMAO:rlol: Loving the EDF energy FME cover Geo. Good to see it being put to good use. That's who I work for. What station does your brother work at? I'm at Dungeness B.

Lol excellent convoys rule! Whereabouts is Raven from in Kent Kaan? We'll have to get him to join the convoy too lol

Cool, there may end up being a trio of us then, as my friend from Tenterden who bought my old Supra came up with me last time when I went in my 350Z

Cool, you're quite close then Chris. I'm out your way quite a lot too, as my girlfriend lives in Lordswood. If I'm not in the Supra, then I'll either be in a grey ZS180 or a gold 350Z or possibly on a motorbike lol. I like the TRD and standard wings myself, but all down to personal preference really. I must admit that my tastes have changed a bit over time, as my first Supra had a full Veilside kit with over fenders and BGW and I loved top secret GT300 widebody cars. Now I'm tending to prefer the more subtle look of stock body and TRD widebody cars....... Must be getting old lol PS... Will be good to have someone who lives close to drive to Bluewater meets with

Just what I read when I researched it mate. I think the theories on air flow are correct, but I think power differences between the two would be very small, if any, and would probably not be noticeable on a dyno.

I looked at these cylindrical filters and nearly bought one when I got my K&N, as I thought they would flow more air due to greater surface area, but ended up going for a cone after a bit of reading and realising the restrictions there would be on space regarding a 6" filter lol. This extract explains best what I came to understand about filter shape if it helps anyone...... "Assuming both filters have the same surface area and same filter media, the cone will outflow the cylinder. The reason for this is because the air coming through the cone flows through straighter wheras the air coming into the cylinder shaped filter has to make a sharp 90 degree bend. This causes several problems. First, most of the air tends to come in the closest to where the air intake tube is clamped to the filter. Little or no air comes in at the opposite end. This effectively reduces the usable surface area of the cylinder filter (hence: why the more expensive filters are cone shaped). Second, the 90 degree bend the incoming air has to make after passing through the filter media of the cylinder causes the air to hug tight to the intake tube wall. This creates uneven air flow/turbulance. This also increases friction which reduces air flow. The slower air in the middle of the intake tube and the faster air closer to the wall of the tube induce turbulence which further reduces air flow. The cone filter all but eliminates the sharp transition the air has to make after passing through the filter media. This allows for near 100% air volume through the air intake tube with little or no turbulance. All of the cone filter has equal air velocity/volume passing through it from end to end due to the tapered shape. In other words, a cone filter with 90 square inches of filter surface will outflow a cylinder filter with 110 square inches of filter media. These surface area numbers are from a 6"diameter by 6" long cylinder (110 square inches) and a 6"lg by 6" base diamer cone (90 square inches)."

Probably, but it'd definitely need to be on a stroked motor running ethanol to get anywhere near that figure I would have thought.

Don't know why I can't flip that pic lol

This was it fitted.........

It was a GT47 T6 Kaan and that was the size of the inlet. Took ages to get hold of a 6" polished intake pipe with a 45deg bend in it believe it or not! Lol (apparently very hard to mandrel bend pipe of this diameter). Had to get one from PHR in the states through MVP in the end.

Same here mate, I had a huge K&N fitted before I picked mine up. Shame I'm changing turbo setup now, as a 6" ID K&N and polished intake hard pipe will be useless to me on my new 6870 setup lol. John always ran it without a filter, but this worried me. It only takes a small bit of debris to get sucked in and you've got one hell of an expensive mess to sort out. Does look cool at a show though

Nice trumpet-age

Cool. Whereabouts in Kent do you live then Chris? If you see some random loon flashing their lights at you in Ashford, then it's probably me lol Had a look at some pics of your new Sup.... Very nice I like what Hassan has done with painting the front pillars black. Not seen that before and it looks quite up to date (similar to what you see on R35's etc.)

The Sup isn't my daily Chris, so that's probably why you haven't seen it about. Don't think my OCD could handle it being left on its own in a car park lol Should see you and your new Sup at a Bluewater meet next year hopefully mate. Jacks upgrade the synchros to a revised stronger design and can also upgrade the forks for threaded ones with a stage 2 or 3 rebuild Jazz.

Yeah it's easy Kaan. Same as any vinyl application really. Just wet it down to enable you to get some movement until you're happy with positioning and then squeegee out any air bubbles.

A long shot mate, but I'd bet on whoever's house your parking it outside of as the culprit. Some people seem to think think have some sort of ownership over a PUBLIC section of road just because it's outside their house. I've had people moan at me before for it, but at the end of the day, if you've paid your road tax, you've got just as much right to park there as them.

That's right Kaan, Porsche's have a triangular strip on the leading edge of the rear arch for protection as standard. 350Z's do too.

Depends if it's council or private and where it is really. Mines a private rent in a nice area and I pay £70 per month.

No worries mate, you're a bit far out from me then really. I'm in Ashford. Would be a bit of a pig to have to travel that distance every weekend just to use your Sup.
