finally put my cooler on after like a month of it lying beside my bed doin nothing.

Decided to do it the easy way and use the origional holes, makes sense rather that having the pipe

full of cold air running into my engine goin over the radiator and heating up its below the cooler stayin cold.

Intercooler $200 bar and plate

Pipes (2.5") $90 with a meter straight run left over, bent by zhaust shop.

Rubber hose and clamps around $120 i think. bunnings and supercheap

6hrs of labour with the misses brother helping- FREE!

tools used-me and alan. lol

took these pics last nite, have since driven it and need to ajust the 180 degree pipe as going over bumps it

gets squashed into the tow hook-solution:- cut off tow hook.

p.s would like to say a big bye bye to my reo bar, sorry to see u gone mwah xxx (lol)

piss off mark lol its OK alrite? not a beast yet but im workin on it. Had 2 ajust the pipes last nite, ripped em off on my driveway, was glad i had about a meter and a half of pipe left over, i cut up and used that. handy. there alil higher no so dnt scrape as much.

yea its standard, very rare tho, was on the spotted thread talking to a guy with a 2 door the same colour. ive only seen max 7 cars with this paint,(a 4door,2door,mine,a bluebird and a jaguar.) its stated as blue/grey on my rego sticker but a few people have said its "ice green" that sounds better lol) id have to repipe the intercooler the regular way before i cud lower this on coilovers (im thinkin of doin this as speed bumps and my drive way are giving me the shits now) and as for the deep dishes i dunno, the way i go thru tire atm im better sticking to stockos at $50 a tire it cant be beaten rather than forking out for 18 inchers all the time.

Nice looking car Darren, i have the same colour on my four door r33, I've seen one the same in my area too, that and another green and grey one, which doesnt look as good in my opinion.

Im with you about sticking to stock rims, cheap tyres all the way

Im looking at doing a front mount like you have the pictures of. Do you think the front bar restricts the airflow much? because looking at our cars there doesnt seem to be that much room for the air to get in. Oh and kudos for the plates

yes i think it restricts airflow but not now!!! see pics below!!!

thanks for the plate comments, i love them sooo much! my misses had the biggest nag wen i told her what i wanted to get she was like "get something about u incase u sell the car" (her names sally and her plates are 45ALY, go figure) but im like nahhh, the plates will go with the car wherever it goes, it deserves them took me ages to think them up!!

ps- big thanks to GTR-Geoff from sauqld for the donor bumper below!!(sorry i chopped it up!)

no.1 before

no.2 after

o and yes i have btw since repiped the cooler using a proper piping kit, i regret my first decision-diy piping kit bent by exhaust shop-noooo bingo.

ended up payin twice as much as i needed to but learnt BIG LESSON, do it right the 1st time lol.

also now have a spare, brand new cooler sitting at home if ne one wants to buy it.....

    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
    • I'm a bit stuck with this one fellas, I recently decided to undertake a turbo conversion on my GTS-4, ended up pulling the motor to replace all the seals and do an mls head gasket and arp head studs while I was at it. Everything has gone according to plan, no oil or coolant leaks, compression checked out, and decided to give it a test before I book it in for a tune As it stands right now, the turbo only has oil lines plumbed so that I don't put boost into my untuned engine, and I'm using the factory GTS-T crossover pipe with a maf and poddy as a temporary intake. The car starts with relative ease and idles amazingly, however as the title suggests it really doesn't want to rev up, runs very smooth but almost feels choked out and unresponsive to the throttle, almost like it's running lean or something? I've triple checked my vacuum lines and timing with a timing light, injectors haven't been touched as of yet to avoid flooding the engine and worked perfectly beforehand, new plugs and coilpacks, I've even unbolted the cat just to see if it spontaneously collapsed, no dice The car currently has a nistune r32 gtst ecu installed so I have no way to check for fault codes. At this point I'm a bit stumped. Is this normal behaviour for a car with a turbo bolted onto the exhaust going nowhere? I'd imagine the turbo wouldn't cause this much restriction in the exhaust without the boost going through the intake. Any ideas? If necessary I can link a video of how it responds to full throttle while in neutral.
