good to hear scotty!!! please tell me your putting the standard engine cover back on :P

Yep, its all back on, looks stock other than the fuel reg and gauge hanging at the side. :)

Nice....enough coolers.

I think so, lol. I haven't hooked the controller up yet but I don't think I will need the thermo's in winter anyway.

I ran a Greddy cooler through the bandsaw, the core ended up around 220mm high from 300. I then bolted the end tanks to the intrusion bar. This is the same cooler I have been running for a while.

The lobster pipe is welded to the cooler as the bend was too sharp to use a silicone 90, plus my cooler sits very low compared to the HDI.

The hot side is all replaced up to the turbo, 2.5 inch stainless and a 60mm alloy bend into the cooler.

Can you suggest another 600x220 core I can use? lol.

It cost me $100, I wasn't too worried. :P

It's obviously not a restriction to power either. :whistling:

A third of the HDI core sits right behind the bumper Reo; getting almost no airflow anyway.

Exactly, and inside the top of the cooler (the part I cut off) isn't going to get much airflow as the compressed air is travelling too fast to bend up there.

Yep, I've actually seen people weld small air diverters into the end tanks; which direct air into the top & bottom of larger intercoolers.

Doesn't increase pressure drop, and increases cooler efficiency as you are using the full area to cool; rather than just filling up unused core area with pressurised air which is basically static.

Needs more N1 vents :ph34r:

Even with the vents; you've still got an amount of core that's basically blocked, but the vents and some decent holes in the reo would help. Doesn't do much for the integrity of the Reo; nor it's legality though.

With a smaller core; you'd have the opportunity to do as Scotty has done, and move the core forward, giving more room for trans/oil cooler cores & fans. You end up with very little spare real estate with the HDI core in place.

Just wondering if anyone has thought of a low, wide scoop attached to the top of the reo to direct air down through the top of the HDi cooler.

Wouldn't be difficult and wouldn't have to direct much air either.

Was just thinking maybe 5-10mm x 300mm of the air that passes through the lower part of the grill diverted behind the reo towards the top section of the cooler...

I'd suggest some actual testing of how much air flow is resticted by the REO is necessary before that gets done. I wouldnt have thought it'd be too difficult to put something in place to measure the airflow at the bottom and then move it to the top (behind the REO but 'on' the core), possibly even behind the core to see how much flows through it (because thats the important bit, right?) ?

You're referring to a wider version of the OEM intercooler scoop right?

The cooler sits so close to the back of the reo I'm not sure how effective it would be.

Wouldn't be difficult to make though. It would all depend on the positioning of any ancillary coolers that are fitted in that area.

Its been so long since I have seen mine, but I agree that would improve things. I think you would only be pressurising the space, not flowing much extra air through it. Plus the radiator needs clean air too.

A question to those with M35's, Have you left the under body plastic beneath the engine or removed it?

Any problems with removing it indefinetly? i find it such a pain to remove any time i want to have a poke around down there.

I have left it Ross. No problems removing it, but cooling may suffer, as you want to duct as much air as possible through the radiator, and not bouncing off. Also sticks, rocks, and other grime may well get up there. I really don't want a rock going up into some of the stuff I got in there.

Left it in. Would only remove it if I replaced it with a custom item that allowed oil changes without removing the whole damn thing.

That being said, everything should have a look for leaks/damage/etc at when servicing anyway...

Changed my fuel filter. That was fun times.... Re-leveled my ATF, because I thought I had over filled it a little, and Re-installed my chassis brace without spacers.

Going to leave cleaning it till tomorrow for the Stagea Meet! Needs a good scrub.

Mine didn't come with the larger plastic panel (so oil changes are very easy) & haven't noticed any issues but would probably leave it if I had the option.

There is another smaller plastic cover further back that you will want to leave on. I removed mine & got a vibration at freeway speeds - felt like a tyre out of balance. With cover back on the vibration was gone, so there must be some aero benefit in having it there.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!

      I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...

      Water leaking into the rear trunk

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.

      Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
