yes i have an aftermarket gtr front bumper and i had to trim it for the piping to fit

and the only hole needs to be cut is under the battery , you can see an imprint of a 3" hole just use that as a guide i cut that hole bit out

and on the other side where it used to have 2 pipes going to the stock intercooler i cut that bit open so its nice and wide and you can manouver the pipes

ok the only thing i got now is to do the hole on the side to fit the last pipe. just a question is your intercooler on a angle?? like the top sticks out and at the bottom in comes in. if you know what i mean.

yes the intercooler sits on an angle, well mine does anyway and everyones i seen it sits on a angle, like the bottom is closer to the car and the top sits further away

the brackets at the bottom i got with my intercooler kit, they just need to be screwed to the chassis at the bottom..

and at the top i made a plate

both top bolts screw into the fmic and then you get a plate which holds them both togethor, then another one in the middle of the two which can bolt up to a bolt near the bonnet latch you will see it..

Hey dude just go to Mettams exhaust and tell them you want a 3inch System from the turbo back (down/dump pipe, high flow cat , the works.) and you can choose a nice cannon style muffler or watever you want on the end. They did a killer job on my R33 for $1100.My car basically went from not much wheel spin in the dry to BLAZING and it doesn't hang down like them ricer jobs and isn't going to atract the cops with excessive decibels.

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
