Anyone Here In Melb Installed Fmic Cutting A Hole?

[geraus]

Hey guys just got my trust m-spec cooler for my r33 series II.. Has anyone here cut a 3inch hole near the washer bottle? or so? apparently if cops see if they wont like it.. they will canari you or something... Is this true or not? Because im confused.. either doing my trust greddy cooler factory route to return pipe or cutting the hole where the pipe goes accros the radiator.. thanks..

If anyone has pics please post up thanks

shit sell it if your going the re-route option, not gonna work nicely. Get the BLITZ LM.

otherwise cut the hole, i put my s13 through dandy with a hole through the battery tray. it is not structural and after a blue with the officer they rang one of thier approved inpsectors and he said the same thing... so long story short i got through. Your even luckier with a skyline as the hole is in the same place as GTR's.

Dam, im so angry... are you sure... so its ok to make a hole through the battery tray? They offcier say anything?

[(B1) MR_fanny]

so why are so many people getting done with the hole in their ecr's and as you say URAS the gtr has a hole there standard? must be an out of the factory trivial thing maybe.

Either way it just gives them another reason to pick on you.

I went the return flow setup, which runs the factory way. No cutting holes or moving shit.

In the end, who can be fkd with cop trouble?

exactly, if you dont want to put up a fight then go the blitz, if not go the greddy. If you do it neat enough most dont pick up on it but the decision is yours.... just dont modify the greddy one... its a waste of time.

Thank you so much for ur help, Im just still thinking either to cut the the hole or modify it..or try to sell it... Would it be hard to sell again? because i just brought it last week from CJ motorsports...

I think your better off selling it mate rather then modifying it and fking it up.

Just sell it, cover your loses and buy a different kit or if you want to use it, use it as is.

If you modify it and want to sell it later down the track, I think people would be less likely to buy it so you will lose more money in the end.

Dam, So theres no point modifying the pipes to return? or it wont even work properly...

just cut the hole. unless they are looking hard or you do a rough job they wont notice.

i cut mine and then ran some boot trimming from a honda around the hole. in short it made it look standard.

Na don't bother man, waste of time + more money!

Keep it as is, or sell it off.

Plus the cooler isn't setup for return flow, the end tanks are slightly different for return flow coolers.

It is highly illegal depending on circumstance, Trent you would have gotten through as its not illegal (see below).

There are countless threads in the vic section about this issue.

Long and short of is if you have a car with AIR BAGS = Illegal.

No Air Bag = legal

HR31 GTSR - no Air Bag = no problem = i love my old shit bucket

S13 - no Air Bag = no problem.

R33 - no Air Bag = no problem.

R33 (i think S1.5 and S2) - WITH Air Bag = illegal

There is no VASS engineer in this state that will ever sign off on a Air Bag equipped model car, being safe with holes cut into the car.

And no, before you ask... you cant remove the airbag from a car that came with one to "make" it legal

Cheers.

Here, have a look at this link below

This picture below is a return flow setup, you can see how the end tank on the drivers side curves downwards and back towards the passenger side of the car.
