Hey im looking into gettin a front mount for my 32 in the near future and i would like to know what you recommend....also where is the best (quality for money) place to get it fitted. My budget is fair for a uni student / part time at woolies so i dont want anything too ridiculous in price.

Cheers for your help in advance.

Doug.

yep, I have the Just Jap Hybrid copy kit on my R34. Bloody good value for $499, and basically the cheapest price around. Only have a go at fitting it yourself if you are very handy with tools and some metal fabrication (like Duc :laugh: ).

I would hate to think what a workshop would have to charge to fit it though - took Duc and I around 10 hours to do mine :P

the just jap hybrid (i think) kit is the best bang for your bucks. cooler does its job and the piping is quite light. any workshop would be able to fit this basic modification for you, i dont know how much they would charge though. maybe try fitting it yourself? as an aussie would say, give it a go. you have nothing to lose.

yep, as Joel said, you have to cut it - but not to pieces.

You really need to 'shave' some off the inside of the bar to refit it.

Not a dramatically hard job to do, but a pain nonetheless (and you get molten globs of plastic on you if you use an angle grinder - OUCH!)

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
