dont need to be fast and cheap. many guys on the forums fit their own intercoolers and thus can help you out. and the bonus to that is that they wont charge you to help you out.

if u need a hand, ill help you out if want.

pm me.

Ye, well if you wanna take 4-5 hours out of your day or more, thats fine. But not everyone can afford this leisure.

Also to a search of this section about "kits" etc. There are a good number of threads about how peoples kits apparently "dont fit".

When in actual fact they do fit, its the installation that was wrong.

This just comes down to people not knowing what they are doing, nothing wrong with that, or being handy with tools. Thats how life is.

If your not that handy, paying someone $200 to fit a cooler is filthy cheap for the work involved. And you know its going to be done right the first time, aligned correctly etc etc.

IMO its easier to take out a motor than fit a cooler, and you pay more to have a motor taken out... where as a cooler is a royal pain.

If its just jap/hybrid style kit, hybrid has a installation manual you could download from there website so it would be pretty much the same for any ic of the same style

If you cant find it pm and ill email it to you cause its on my comp at home somewhere.

getting mine done at proteck in preston for 2 hunge, same cooler also. me and a mate could probably do it but i couldnt be bothered attempting it, and having it installed professionally is good peice if mind to know its done right.

i say go at it yourself, things other people do to your car you might not like especially if its dirt cheap. cutting that hole, placing rubber guard around the hole, flipping ur horns around, cutting a section of reo out and then fitting and installing the cooler urself shouldnt be too much of a hassle. I will find out but people assure me 3-4 hours, an FMIC to be installed and some beer = great times.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
