Frount Mount Intercooler Question...
darrinspencer replied to kidafa's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
One more step, make sure you clean the inside of the pipe very well after to make such there is no metal bites from drilling. don't want them going thru the engine. No need to buy expensive taps, as the thread is tapered it will cut it own thread, esp in the alloy pipe. -

Frount Mount Intercooler Question...
darrinspencer replied to kidafa's topic in Four Door Family & Wagoneers
On a series 2, you will need 2 nipples. One for boost and the other goes to the power steer pump. I used a brass screw in nipple found at most auto parts shop. Drill a hole, and screw it in. The alloy pipes are fairly thin so I used some liquid metal approx $8 tube to fillet around the nipple and the pipe to make it stronger. -
I have a pair of Garage Impul front seats complete with rails. These are the same ones found in the R33 Impul sedans Seats are in perfect condition and are high quailty compared to cheap chinese seats. New cost is approx $2500-3000 landed These will bolt into all R32's, R33's, R34 GTR and Stagea. I believe to fit to R34 GT's slight mods are needed to the mounting feet, but can not confirm. The inner seat material is a 99% match to R33 GTR. $1100 Brisbane

The final route will be sorted by tomorrow. One of the roads along the route is currently closed due to rain damage near Maleny. Thanks to one of my best mates, local senior constable at Kilcoy station, a new route has been found. On the day everyone will get a copy of the route with approx distances and times, just incase anyone gets lost. My mate said there is a few twisty roads, beware of motorbikes on the wrong side of the road. Should be fun. Wonder if I could organise a police escort

This type and size of intercooler would be either a sidewards or backwards step compared to what is already in your 260RS now. If need to upgrade what you have now, the best cooler is a 100mm GTr replacement like the attached link No mods required to piping and should be a direct fit with regards to clearances etc Your factory r33 GTR cooler in the 260rs is good for upto 500hp, so unless you are producing those numbers or do alot of track work stick to what you have. http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...=298&page=1

Have you tried www.jzx100.com Forums, ther must be a wreck somewhere www.importbitz.com.au They like chasers or try www.autoparts.com.au

If you get the stagea model it will work, but you will also need a epson computer thing to make it work Have a search in the cosmetic section, has been discussed before. It is possible to recalibrate the dials to be 320km and then fit/get made some new faces It has been done before for the R33 guys. They were sale for $100 in the group buy section If someone wanted to do the leg work it could be done

Make sure you go to a workshop that will do the lot, including trimming the front bar if needed.

Maybe you should have a look at who started this thread, if you want to talk about a#*holes dragging up a dispute I was happy to keep my mouth shut, but I saw red when I saw this thread.

Your job was to remove the auto gearbox and fit a manual box along with clutch and flywheel. The rest of the conversion was done myself prior to coming to your shop. you quoted me 6 hrs to do the job and to bring car in on the following Monday. When I arrived you said your new mechanic had not yet started and will not for another week. I said I am here now as no one had phone to cancel and not to come in. I said I wanted the work done which you accepted. I did argee to help if needed but you said you will be fine. At this stage you should have told me you are not a mechanic and you are not qualified to do the work but you did not. When I arrived later in week to see how you were progressing, half way thru removing the auto box you told me you are not a mechanic and was not really sure what you were doing. At that point I got my hands dirty to help get the job done as I needed the car back by the end of the week as promised. To cut the story short we finished the car together late one night. The real problem came when payment was required. I did see why I should have paided full price as quoted since you did not perform the work as quoted. I offered to pay 4hrs not 6hrs and you hit the roof. You thought you had did me a favour doing only half the work and expected to get paided the entire amount. I choose to pay the full amount on the night so I could get my car back and that I would see you in small claims court. You choose to refund $150 after a few days.

I am with you 33fan I had a similar experience with this shop fitting a manual gearbox to my car I had to finish the work of myself, due to inexperienced people working in the shop at the time Then they expected full payment, even thuo I did over 50% of the work myself. Had to then get car towed home due to it not being finished to things turning bad and getting abused. Until now, it has been over 6 months, I have not said a bad word to anyone about my experience, esp against a site sponsor But since the site sponsor has decided to air the problems of running their bussiness on a public forum, I see it fair for me to have a say.
