I have a Cooling-Pro Stealth from Just Jap. The bottom brackets didn't fit and we had to make our own but everything else was ok. It does hang a bit lower than I would have liked (it is visible under the front bar) but that would be pretty easily fixed with some home made brackets to sit it higher. I painted mine black but now they sell them in black for the same price - $499

I have a blitz LM kit. Nice bit of gear. Everything lined up and bolted up perfectly. Some trimming of the splash tray underneath for the return pipe, but no biggy. Instructions, even though they were in Japanese were easy enough to follow as it had a heap of pics.

The car has some type of generic delta fin core in it at the moment. The person who installed it did a particularly crap job so I want to do it again. Plus the silicon joiners are pretty dodgy and the hose clamps are no better. I had the cooler hose blow off 4 times in a single trip.

The car will be making around 250 4wkw once tuned on e85. Currently it's making 230 4wkw on 98ulp

I really can't afford a premium cooler at the moment so a kit for around $500 or less would be the go.

I was looking at the ISC tube and fin coolers, has anyone had anything to do with them?

I want to stay away from the return flow types as I already have stuff where the pipes would need to go.

Cheers guys

I haven't seen one of those before. I'm not sure why, it makes more sense than running it back under the cooler.

I am running a fmic from a wreckers i got for 100 bucks, i then went and bought 4 90* bends and 1.5m of mild steel piping from the exhaust shop and just made myself the return flow piping. It runs under the cooler back to the stock pipes in the engine bay, cost me about 250 all up and looks better than most setups you can buy... will put some pics of it up later :thumbsup:

I'm running a Hybrid intercooler with custom made pipping(thanks to Scottym35) the intercooler is a 75 mm. so room was scarce but was done he used 2 1/2 " S/S pipe and I had some 20 mm.hose clamps,which I highly recommend(you can get the Tridon for $5 the 3" ones and are far better than normal) fitment wasn't 100% but that was my fault didn't have time and approval of the miss so finished how it is ..plus had to shave part of the front bumper...

I bought the HDi R33 unit which comes with all the piping to go like a normal fmic although in fact I have a FF plenum but they are not too expensive and I am hoping to make around 350kw with mine.

      3D printing fun

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
