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:

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.
