Cutting Hole

[mr_r33gtst]

I have just bought a hybrid copy cooler kit for an r33 s1.

I have never ditter a cooler before, and need to cut a 3 inch hole in the engine bay, next to the drivers side front wheel. What would i use to cut the 3inch hole?, and what would you use to make the hole look neat, like a rubber fitting around it or something??.

any suggestions would be appreciated...cheers

when i done it on my 32, i got a small drill bit, stenciled the outline of the hole, and went to work. it was quite time comsuming. got tin snips to get all the left over little bts still holding it. cleaned up the jagged edges with grinders line drill bit, and to cover it right up, got a 10mm plastic pipe, like a hose or something, slit it long ways, and then fitted it over around the edge.

there are drill bits for making holes like this but cuting through the battery will stuff the drill peice speaking from expirience! and yes try to cover it up like how they put the foam stuff around where the hole is on the standard cooler pipes

3 to 3 1/2 in Hole Saw. Make sure that it's thick enough though. Don't want to leave a bit of saw in the wall.

This was done on an r33, to cut the whole look at the first photo, this is from the drivers side front guard..this is where you should cut the whole.

To do this properly use a 76mm (3 Inch)whole saw. Then put a rubber ring inside it, to stop vibrations and to stop it rubbing metal to metal. If you dont have an rubber ring get a piece of electrical wire, strip it and cut the cord in half n put it on the whole

Once the whole is cut, make sure u prime it as well so it wont rust

boost lines aslo work well, same as electrical wire, just splice in half and place around the hole
