i also contemplated selling my line a while ago because i was bored of it but decided not simply because i knew for certain that i would loss money selling it - depreciation. So instead i decided to mod to see if more hosepower would cure my bordem and it did exactly that, it made me want to drive it whenever i sat in it. At the end of the day it is your decision as to whether you to keep it or have a change besides you do live in vic which is a b*tch of a state to live in in regards to owning imports although Adelaide is not far behind.

mate, do you happen to take pics of any other cars and chicks when you where there. Nice pics btw.

who are you asking mate?

i believe that any bodykit fitted professionly will cost you at least $100. There ones called doyles.

mate although your post is directed to specific members of this forum i though i would give my opinion which is if you still have the stock reinforcement bar then why not trim that and then bolt it to that. sounds logical to me.

guys, i have just finish doing this to my 33. Pics with a little explination about how i customised it to my car can be seen on the second page of this thread below. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/fo...isplay.php?f=25

pics of my cooler install Here are the pics that i was able to take while at the missus. In the pic with the front bar off, you can see i have bolted the cooler to the reinforcement bar. It was interesting that the cooler mounting points were within the exact measurments as the holes in the reinforcement bar - coincidence, i dont think so. Also, by bolting the cooler straight into these holes it was dead centre to the opening in the front bar. I'd also mention that the bolts that were used to bolt the stock ic also bolted straight into the aftermarket cooler. In the pics of the pipes that i used - i opted for mild steel as the money saved is going to an oil cooler, and the paint that i used to help prevent rust on the pipes. In the pic of the brackets that i used to bolt the cooler to the body of the car - i found them at straco for approx. $2 each. All i had to do was measure it, angle grind it a bit and then hammer it into the right angle. I hope that this helps those who are attempting to do it on theere 33 and especially those with a series 2 or series 2 front bar as the reinforecemnt bar made it alot easier to install. Oh and another thing, the reason why the piping is not on yet is because i didnt get time to take pics of them but if anyone wants to see it with the pipes on dont hesitate to ask. The total cost of the piping inc clamps and required hoses were around $200 + $430 for the cooler = $630 ish all together which i believe is not bad considering all the work was done by myself. edit - i just realised the pics were too big ive resized them and are now up. if you want high resoultion ones pm me. cheers, duc.

definately do luck for the r33 like the one in the do luck pic of the 33, 32 and 34 gtr.

joel - would the lag be compensated by upping the boost or would it make the lag more noticable.

its seems from your facts that i dont.

$150 odd per hr. I knew tuning was expensive but i believe thats just rediculous. btw im only saying this and its biased as i havent had my car tuned yet, i know that its gonna cost me an arm and a leg when i do though.

$80 per/h for tuning. geez pay rate is up there or more than ppl with professional careers ie laws, docs, exec's even if its probarbly with only 2 hrs.

UPDATE: hi guys, i have finally been able to put the cooler onto the car minus the piping at the moment. I thought that it was going to be fairly hard but said someone mentioned before it was quite easy but definately time consuming. The cooler was meant to go on the weekend but due to other commitment it took a whole week with a few hours here and there each day and that was just to fabricate, weld and bolt the cooler to the support bar and trim the front bar. The reason why i mentioned that the cooler was on and not the piping is because im still deciding if i want mild steel or stainless steel - ms is $80 while ss is $170 approx that double the price. Yes i know im a tight ass and dont really want stainless as that extra $80 or so can go towards other mods unless ss is absolutely necessary as its just going to be behind the front bar which no one will see anyway and beside . btw pics of the install thus far will be up later when i get home.

Can you tell me a little bit more about the mines ECU. Do you know what mods it had when it was on the car and also is it programmable/tunable?

would putting ice in the washer bottle be a good idea to chill the water before it is sprayed onto the cooler.

seems as though you posts are more suited towards nissansilvia.com

:werd:

i think that you would definately need some sort of aftermarket rear bumper to make the bodykit flow ie 400R rear bar as the stock rear bar on some of the pics posted excepted the jun kits, looks unpoportioned.

im confused. let me get this straight, you just purchased a nice ride. now you are thinking of respraying it and also turn it into a drift mobile. I think someone saw the jap spec orange r31 that was on one of the car magazines and wants to imitate. Although, if you have that kind of money to spend, by all means go for it.

hi there chrisgero, i wouldnt have a clue mate. Although what i do know is that the cooler will hopefully go on this weekend with pics of the process. Im unsure that the rb25det is able to produce 220kwt as you have stated with only the additon of a cooler and the mods that you have mentioned which coincidently is also the mods i have at them moment too. I think you require upgraded fuel pump, and definately an ems ie power fc/safc. Someone correct me if im wrong.

the colour on your car looks great why would you like to respray it for - too be different i assume? anyways, on the topic. i heard that doyles or something like that is great but it cost you an arm and a leg ie approx 3 - 5 k. personally i would recommend impressive paint and panel.

sure thats a fair call about DIY but due to my inability to access the kinds of equipment required for this mod im lead to ask opinons which i got. cheers

are you talking a private occassion here. if so i would be interested. although i havent dragged before at air im sure my jitters and butterflies wouldnt be as bad as if it was a public meeting in front of spectators. also wouldnt mind knowing how fast the 180 actually is.

just a question - with the 400r rear bars there is no need for rear pods am i correct.

bangahh - you mentioned that those who use choose to install there coolers in this fashion will only work there cars mildly, can you elaborate on this as i quite dont understand what you are saying or am i completely off track here. Another thing, should i fit the cooler on the car and then take it to the workshop for them to do the piping which would gurantee that the piping would fit as there is not mention of how much piping is need for each bend required.
