hrmmm. talk of height of the cooler??????? whatt tha. lol

anywhere on the lower half of the radiator leval so the air gos through it not over or around it. that hks kit looks realy nice. with the ducting.

for the track a minimum of 25 rows will be ok. ive got two. still gets hot but. one in the brake duct one infron of the radiator making it over heat :)

noone - i reckon where I've got mine is your best bet. That way a bit of bent aluminium shrouding can duct directly to the front bar inlet. Also there is no other cooling or obstructions around there.

h2k - that's not so good as you've already passed air through the intercooler (slowing airflow, and heating the air), then partially through the oil cooler (remember air velocity is now reduced) and then through the radiator (if it goes through it at all).

remember what i said earlier that if you don't have exit vents, or enough airspace behind the cooler (be it intercooler, oil, or radiator) it will do NOTHING to cool the face of the cooler. Think of the practical example - if you open up the window of your room, and shut all other doors, there is fark all air flow as it doesn't have anywhere to exit. If you open the door the air will travel in the window and out the door, i.e. the path of least resistance. You MUST allow the air to escape once it has passed through the core.

hope that helps

totally agree Ronin, Baron an all an after a bit a dickin around this arvo looks like I can just squeeze it in there

still a little concerned about the angle but like ya say bit a ducting allgood

Looks like the braided lines supplied wont be too helpful might be able to shorten on an use the others they might be a little short though

Still gotta finalize the position for the filter relocater

hopefully mount it down low in front of the crossmember see how it goes

and holesaw a bunch a holes into the plastic guard liner too ventilation ventilation

Just wish that intercooler piping left a little more room

I had the oilcooler mounted in front of the radiator, but this setup is much better. It's a HKS S-type, deflectors etc. are included.

well considering i'm halfway through my fuel system may as well start looking at the next thing I wanna do which is an oil cooler and relocator kit.

Looking at the nengun site the HKS Type S kits seem to be the basic ones and the Type R kits are the ones that come with the oil filter relocators and ducting but according to the HKS website only the Type S kits are avaliable for a 33GTR.......actually no there are type S kits that come with ducting as well :laugh: omg so hard to understand. Can anyone clear this up? does the Type S kit for a 33GTR come with the ducting but not the filter relocator?

Hmm can probably live with the filter still being down underneath, keeps it out of harms way I suppose and it's not that hard to change anyway, K&N hex head filters FTW!

crappest pic ever but my remote filter is on the front of the cross member... awesome for access to change the oil... probably not so good for something ripping it off.

but if something rips it off, say goodbye to the front bar, lower lip, intercooler too!

After looking at the ripple strip paint on my crossmember I think thats a little low and exposed for my liking

that said I doubt it woulda hit but still a little scary (mine is too low though too)

appreciate all the pics though guy

Was thinking the other side probly only a foot or so forward of the normal mounting point

but much much easier to get to an will try an tuck it up a little more

not too sure how to route the lines and thinking that my choice of mounting spots may be why the lines look like they are all wrong

probly wouldnt have brought a kit if I were doing it again individual parts

and custom lines to suit!!!!!

Edited by noone

Others have touched on it...but air is lazy and will take the path of least resistance. Which in 99% of cases is around the cooler unless you force it to go through, ie ducts and guides. There is also another place to convenient install them which noone is thinking about :) Mush better performance, though is a full weekends work doing it :(

horizontal mount with 90 degree (high pressure) ducting from the front bar, with neg. pressure of air under car drawing air out of cooler?

or out back near the diff?

lol...we have had this discussion, but thats one way., Buit for road cars with stones. water splashing everywhere etc. You only have to spend 2 hours lookign at race cars to see a whole other possible ways of doing it that may better suit your sized cooler and where you want to put it

Sorry ronin meant my cars too low not the oil filter

Yeah I figured that was the tow hook thingo in front of where yours was mounted so

realisticly its probly fairly safe I guess

Mine is actually still in process of being decided upon/mounted

but back to work tomorrow so I guess it wont get finished now for a week or so.

Damn braided lines are going to be all wrong methinks Damn!

Roy are you talking about me or noone inparticular???

Any suggestions much appreciated bud

Looks like the GTR's getting group buy suspension too so might be off the road for a little while

had a quick look tonight and that spot actually is looking better an better Ronin assume u used the bolt holes for the power steering lines,

Had wanted to tuck mine up near the drivers side engine mount but I dunno if I am going to manage to fit it in their though its tight!!

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
