M35 Intercooler Recommendations And Thoughts?!

[Philr32]

I think the Dolphin front bar is priced 300% what it should be and it's actually quite ugly if you look close at it.

Heaps of hard edges, brake ducts way too big, exposing too much.

Looks tough but lacks sex.

It's very racey and not very classy. Looks like it was inspired by a R34 GTR front bar. Not what I'd put on an M35, I prefer the NISMO item someone put up earlier.

Nismo kit beats it hands down.

For me the Axis Autech looks the best.

I really dig the bling of the Axis chrome grille.

It just brings that elegance this car deserves..

Exactly why im installing the axis kit and selling the aero. Just need to find a grill

Lol...

Anyway, stock bumper height is best for coilovers.

Ill take my s-tunes over coilovers anyday. And if i change should have no issues with this front bar

12 inch fits well

So how slim is slim ?

I bought a 12 inch fan today from Supercheap.

Calibre 12v thermo fan, measures around 300mm across and 80mm deep with the motor housing.

Hoping it will fit .

Anyone remember how much room is in there behind the intercooler ?

cheers

[joshm35]

Like 60-80mm should be fine. Ill take a photo when i get home for you tonight mate for reference

Any cheap thin/low profile 12" fan on eBay should be ok. They all look same at all. Edited May 21, 2016 by YangLIU

Enough room to slide my fingers between the fan and cooler (60mm wide)

[conan7772]

thanks for that, I'll get a 2.5 inch one.

Has anyone used a universal intercooler on their M35? Bit steep on the shipping front to get an HDi to Blighty, so thinking of DIYing. Just wondering if there are any snags (like outlet/inlet positioning) I should be aware of, or will the hardest bit be getting hard pipes made up?

[joshm35]

I have with hdi piping. All up i think it cost me about $350

Thanks Josh, I'll see if HDi can sell me just the pipework - that would be a lot easier and safer to post.
