I lol'd :).

Go buy a Greddy kit for autobarn, and then take it to boostworx or something of the likes for installation.

If you buy a cheap eBay kit, you will find it wont suit up and fit and look like horsesh!t.

Maybe even call Sinergy Motorsports and see what they can do. Might be like $1200 installed, I used to work there, Rocco should be able to sort something out.

very time consuming specially when you have to cut the hole for it

but as Wayne said most ebay stuff wont line up properly mate so...better off spending a bit of cash on name brands

Greddy ones seem to work a whole lot better as well...

and i am sure that there are a few places around that would do a very good job on fitting it etc etc

from my experience 1 person fitting a front mount by them selves it takes around 5 to 6 hours to do it properly without a hoist.

with someone helping it could be done in about 3 hours with a good fitting kit but there is quite a bit to do to get it to fit nicely.

it depends on what front bar you have as well . some fibreglass ones you have too trim so the cooler will fit .

and ive found on some standed bars there is some trimming to do esp series 1 around the indercators .aslo have to trim the plastic knobs off the aircon fan as well .

mine is a s1 r33 with a s1 front bar

and didnt have to cut anything to get the cooler fitting properly

just had to remove the mesh that was on the slots in the front bar

apart from that the only cutting i did was to make the hole lol

I am not sure who made the kit, possibly a 'Hybrid' kit, but they all bolt upto the standard cooler pipes which goto where the sidemount cooler pipes mounted so no holes need be cut, thus making the job about 2hours easily.

Maybe a bit more research for you to find out who exactly made the intercooler kit like what I am describing and you won't need to chop any nasty holes in your engine bay :(.

JJR (cooling pro), Blitz, and ARC make those coolers ^

There is you answer mate... i personally prefer the look plus its a Greddy kit that i have

ARC and Blitz expect to pay some big bucks there....dont really know about the cooling pro stuff from JJR but dont think they would be that expensive compared to the Blitz or ARC...

Hybrid kits from memory all need hole cutting...and i think regency is fine with that as well

as long as the hole isnt cut in any part of the structure, ie under battery tray is fine (some skylines even have a dotted out circle of where to cut!) then i think Regency is fine. and DONT tamper with the reo bar if u can get away with it.

Regency are fairly forgiving with holes unless it is very structural.

I had a hole cut for my FMIC on my VLCT, put it thru regency running a crossover pipe and nothing thru the hole and they were fine with it.

    • AFM looks to be a z32 The injectors maybe old Nismo 555cc The turbo tag when looked up seems to be a gt2871 , imagine it would have the bigger rear housing .82 all look like the mid 00's mods when he started building it up. Vac hose seems right but would need to see a diagram. Great work going up there and sorting it out, be a good club car for someone wanting a good reliable rig.  I know I would like to have it but no space and too many other race cars at the moment.
    • Heys guys I got a r32 gtst speedo is out by 10kph seems the faster I go the more it be out  just seeing if anyone else had to problem and knows how to fix it 
    • I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better. 
    • 2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)
    • OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed
