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

Geraus.

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.

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...

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.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
