Delta Fin + Type M = Big Mouth Yo!

The Stagea has a new, bigger smile ...

Before:

After:

Cooling Pro delta fin core yo!

Took a whole afternoon to do it. Purchased the mandrel bends from Aussie Discount Mufflers and cut and welded it all up myself. Total of $69 in materials and a wee bit of my time.

Needed a new cooler to match the new bar. End result = one happy stag owner

Pulling it all apart this weekend to paint the piping. No leaks ... happy I can still weld.

Looks nice, but perhaps you should move the number plate to allow all that air to pass through to cool the fins?

Yeah and get the fully sic lets go skidding s13 look. thumbs down. Dont think the number plate is actually going to make a massive difference to roo's airflow.

Looks good ruby. Think its time we organised another cruise. adam and I were in the shed till 2am this morning doing the turbos on his 260. Im so glad i have a 25 now lol , so much more space to platy with!

i think he means move it up where its out of the way of the FMIC

[RubyRS4]

The plate looks good imo where it is now ... and its some 130mm from the mesh and 150mm from the cooler, so its not interrupting the flow. And in any case, its far more flow than the last cooler

Chris, yeah another stagea cruise would be awesome. I've got the SAU SA meeting thing this weekend and Kadina after that. Perhaps an end June cruise, or anywhere in between

Nah... just drill airholes all over the plate!

[zei20l]

OR just take the plate off. dont need one on the front, im sure the cops will be chasing anyway

[iamhe77]

Indeed.

Where else would you put it?

(Remember, I live in Vic, so having it laying down in the lip if the front bar is a no-no).

[Tangles]

good stuff

yeah mount the number plate like mine with a simple bracket

just got a metal intake pipe kit and a proper fmic pipe kit (battery feed), so getting them installed this thursday at dynotune

along with a oil catch can setup

just awaiting delivery of seat rails to tidy up the fitment of my new racing seat

some people move it to the side, which is what S13/S14/S15 drivers SOMETIMES do.........

Its also what the VL commonwhore and some R31 drivers do, to give that fully hectik "I don't have a fmic ... hell, I don't even have turbo ... but I wanna appear that way" look

Tangles, you still got those driving lights?

Are they oem items? I traded mine off and regret it now ... looking for replacements.

looks good roo,fills out your viva bar nicely.me and fr33k just spent the last 2 mornings doing my fmic.got it cheap,apparently its a capa performance? cooler,bought it from the dude doing aleks dump pipe the other day.same side inlet and outlet,we couldnt quite get it in the middle of the bar so we just moved the plate over to hide that fact.came out alright i think,seen as we just used piping that was left over for other cars and projects

[FR33K]

after what we went through to get it on... its more than alright....

[-RBD2-]

Looks good Rodney. Keeping it polished like I am? My last fmic was lightly sprayed satin black to keep it discreet. But this time I've gone for the polished look ... and blue mesh

Next big mod for me is the manual conversion for the car. Shopping around for GTR gearboxes now.

[kidafa]

manual hay roo.... Im tossing up doing it aswell... Will you do it at home yourself?

Yeah. Buy the box and conversion stuff (pedals etc) and do the work myself in my workshop. Then take it to a transmission place and just have them check it all over.

[stagmeister]

Looks awsome
