plan before u cut!!!!

if you dont know where to cut i think u are going to struggle....just recently had one fitted.....thought of doing it myself but luckily i spoke to Mr G who came to my place to do it for $200....well spent....if i tried i would have failed and had no car until someone could help.......

if u still want to try urself have a look on youtube, there is a clip on how to do it....doesnt show it indepth but gives u something to start with...

good luck!!!

The most difficult part it where to cut the wholes in the engine bay, everything else is pretty easy..

to cut the wholes just use a drill to make a circle then chisel them out...

to cut the front bar you will need a special tool for this as its not easy to do wit a hack saw or anything..

Its worth doing yourself for the experience and a good acomplishment when finished..you can say you done it..

But for $200 to get it installed its really worth it..

Cheeers Daniel

Common sense will help you get through it, the kits do allow for some leniency so you do have to be 100% spot on (maybe 95% lol). Just use the guide in the DIY section for where to cut the hole for the piping. Once you have all the piping setup you can judge where the intercooler will go and make front bar cuts from there.

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
