Intercooler Piping - Defected

[lukebaldan]

I have a stock cooler and an r34 cooler if you want to buy one.

What other mods do u have?? You may only need the r34 smic

Thanks for the offer mate. Luckily the seller included the factory side mount so worst comes to worst i'll chuck it in.

Well i'll see what the engineer says. If it's bad news. I'm going to spend tonight taking out the FMIC and putting the SMIC in.

The car is bog stock other wise. I took the liberty of having everything illegal removed (boost controller, pod).

Pettet didn't say anything about the exhaust, however i'm 100% i'll get the EPA in the mail :-(

[lukebaldan]

lol thanks dude.

im there pretty much like everyday. next time you hear me up the court just come out

and ye let us how you go and the cost. IF an engineer is blind and passes it. i might go and get one too ahahaha

but ye im looking into getting rid of my FMIC and plugging up the hole. or maybe hide it with a oil filter relocation kit lol and get the return flow IC

Cool, will do mate :-)

I strongly recommend on fixing that hole and getting a return flow. If Pettet got you (And he probably will) he would see straight through any attempts on hiding it, the guy is thorough.

I got done on lakeside blvd right past the biggest rowville lake, just becareful mate.

Cool, i couldn't believe it the first time i saw it. I thought someone had moved my car into the court!

Sounds like a nice machine, wouldn't mind a closer look at it if you're in the area one of these days :-)

lol i cant avoid his territory even if i tried. his slowley moving towards rowville side now

shiiit, im moving to rowville, wantirna south or vermont south next month, i bought a cooler that goes through the tray but didnt put it in and got the return flow from just jap, fitted to my 32 without f**k all hassels not cutting at all, cept for my front bar and i tiny bit of reo but you cant see it, best $550 ive spent, stock piping in the tray worked out allright with one of them, but had to goto paul in oakleigh to get a offcut, and got a 90 degree silicon hose bend, im so glad i didbt do the cut. sorry to hear mate, im sure if u weld a plate over the hole an engineer would sign off on it.

anyone want to buy a bar and plate cooler that is not return flow ? 400 for the whole kit + extra bits of piping

Well guys a quick update.

My brother (superspit) just took the car to an engineering place.

I'll have a VASS certificate and road worthy tomorrow morning. Gonna cost ~$400 but at least i won't have any other problems...for now

Thanks for all your help/support guys.

I'll let you know how the defect clearing process goes.

Hey Ashneel, do you know who drives the purple GTR that parks in my court? He lives close by. The guy works where i work, i park next to him all the time.

Got a great pic of my mates R32, his R33 GTR and my R34 all inline down the court. Looked ace!

Good advice JJboo...!

I guess he's just doing his job... and we're all so emotionally attached to our rides! (makes things so much more 'engaging').

I gave my brother some advice a couple of nights back, to do with comm skills in this very situation, appears to have worked.

Cheers.

Yer at the end of the day, Pettet is doing his job. Yes it sucks i have to go through the whole process, but i have learnt that you can't get away with anything.

I'm sure i'll be pulled over many more times, at least i'll have less to worry about when this happens.

Honestly great to hear mate!

Is there any re-enforcement required around the hole, to get the cert?

Thanks mate. My brother would probably have more info as i'm not terribly sure.

Hi Al.....at this stage, no....but we'll have a greater insight after tmrw. (it's not structural, from the little bit of investigation work I saw, engineer will check it though, thoroughly)

Luke, I have your car back at my place...(that thing is the shit, though my back is farking killing me now)...just drive the Festiva to moms house, put the wheels back on the 34, then I'll take the 34 back for tmrw morning. (give me all your paperwork too).

Hopefully we'll sort out the travel to and from engineers. (for me!)

Thanks bro. I can arrange to come to work a few hours later tomorrow morning if you want to do that. As long as i'm back before 12, should be fine with the boss.

EDIT: Boss said it's fine, we'll go tomorrow morning, fairly early :-)
