this is a small one where you can just see the intercooler.... bar has been fixed by now!

How low is your cooler mounted Matt??? We did mine the other week and mines up alot higher then that, with just the bumper on you can't see it hanging out down below...

looks good! but does it work well? eg: cooler intake charge or lag? have you taken it down the strip or on the rollers to see any advantage? of course there will be some but how much?!! and when will some one fit a VH45 to a local r30!! me cant afford it yet.

Yeah, it runs a little warm, never gets much over 3/4 on the temp guage, but it always cools well at idle/low throttle driving, and it never over-heats. But yes, water temp runs a little higher with intercooler where it is, but cooler inlet temps would compensate for this a bit, no?

just a quick question, how is the running temp with the cooler right in front of the radiator like that?

It really could be better,although i do some circuit/track days,it has never overheated.but im thinking of going to the smaller size(so cheap now) just to allow that bit more air through.The air intake temps are awesome though.At 1.3bar ive never seen temps above 35 on a 30 degree day.

VH45 is ILLEGAL IN NSW fitted to any R30.

For engine capacity modifications, maximum allowable capacity is calculated on the vehicles body weight.

The MR30 Hatch is factory specified at 1250kg and for normally aspirated this has a multiplier of 3 = 3750, and turbo x 2.5 = 3125.

An RB30 2.0mm o/size = 3102, my RB hybrid is 1.0 o/size @ 3032.

Therefore a VH45 cannot be registered in this state and any other as I am aware, but I may be wrong.

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
