This is a guideline for NSW on modifications which are allowed before a engineer's certificate is required.

Page 4 has the info on chasis modifications. On a whole, it basically says, Unless you are modifying a structural part of the car, you are fine.

I still can't find anyone who has one for sale....

OK

ebay, search Apexi

you'd want a secondhand good condition Apexi Hybrid intercooler made for the 180SX.

I use one in my Stagea. Got it sent from japan, was $300US I think delivered..............

does exactly what I want it to do, and Im sure it'll be good for 200+Awkw on my 4wd Stagea. :angry:

see: http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_suction_d...d=215&pageNum=1

this is what it looks like:post-18854-1146808880.jpg

from the apexi website:

The Hybrid Intercooler is designed to cool intake air temperatures going into the engine. Cold air is packed densely with air molecules and promotes more combustion within the motor. This equates to more power potential. The Hybrid Inter-cooler Series uses an exclusive cross flow design on all the cores. These cores are the only cores designed specifically for front mount applications.

The front of the core uses a delta wedge face with two different types of fins. The fins at the base of the delta wedge are tightly packed, while the fins at the top of the delta wedge are loosely packed. This channels the air hitting the front of the intercooler to the tightly packed fins at the base of the delta wedge for maximum cooling. The loosely packed fins at the top of the delta wedge prevent any unnecessary wind turbulence.

The fins on the back side of the intercooler extend out to the same length to "shoot" the air into the radiator without excess turbulence. A'PEXi is the only manufacturer with this patented design. A quick look through popular racing magazines will show the unmistakable Hybrid Intercooler sitting comfortably in the front bumper of many race and street cars.

CONCEPT:

Front-mount intercooler with exceptional cooling capabilities

CHARACTERISTICS:

Unique delta-fins maximize heat transfer; ultra-low pressure drop

I've been searching Ebay, nothing on there at the moment.

Yah - gotta keep trying every 5 days LOL

I missed the first one I was bidding on, the moment it ended another one came up for sale.

I "bought it now" as such right there and then!

Definately efficient, and would be perfect on the 6cyl 2.0litre you have.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
