Fitting Cooler

[trel]

So all day today a mate and myself were trying to put a front mount on the car but with no success...

Got the justjap kit that uses stock piping. I can't be bothered trying again, just finished putting car back together, and its an absolute bitch. I wont be trying that again thats for sure.

Anyone know anywhere to get it done professionally and at a reasonable cost?

Thanks.

Care to elaborate? What exactly went wrong?

RE Customs do a professional workshop based install for around $250 i believe.

Call them to find out more, its one of the cheaper prices ive heard around so worth looking into.

The top bracket did not match up for one, and two I don't have access to an angle grinder to trim off some of the reo bar as it was getting in the way of the end tanks. Managed to fit it but because the top bracket doesnt match 100% the piping doesnt reach far enough to reach engine bay. I'll ring RE customs tommorrow and try and work something out.

Thanks.

I'd take a six pack!

I just got a GTR fm intercooler for my R32 GTSt +piping for $250...going to attempt it this weekend. I think it will be a good size...not too huge to cause a bunch of lag. My only real concern is clearing the fan with the top pipe. There is a very slight indentation which I think will help. Also, I haven't taken off my bumper...but I hope it clears the piping because it's an original veilside...don't really want to chop it up. I do have some that are 3 feet long. The only other concern I have is if I got the proper brackets to mount the IC. I'm hoping I don't have to do much fabricating because I live in an apartment and don't have a ton of tools.Worse case I can use a bunch of industrial strength zapstraps...lol...just kidding...sort of...

I don't have an angle grinder also...I do have some good quality whole saws tho so they shouldn't dull when cutting the metal. I also have a dremel...might be slow but that would work too.

I plan on doing a picture tutorial because I haven't been able to find one myself for the R32 GTS-t. I lack some of the tools, but it will give people the proper idea then. I'm just waiting for my aluminum tar tape which I will be putting around the top pipe for heat shielding. I figure the bottom and left side pipes will be fine...also may wrap the pipe which goes across the engine just for shits and giggles. More uniform look.

I took my frount reo bar to a panel beater and they cut it to shape and painted it for a carton.

Cause my angle grinder was pretty useless. it melted the metal more than it cut.
