Put the lower pipe back in and run the under pipe from there to the cooler and connect it up. crossover pipe in place (note its different from the one pictured - i'm investigating why now) Time to start looking at the cutout hole going through to the engine bay. It's a single plate section right where the relay thingy sits. Relocate it down and tie it back, then get stuck into it. I removed the battery for easy access and visibility. alignment to chassis cutout cutout location (engine bay side) under guard side Remove the washer bottle. As i saw with mine it wouldnt go back so i've cut it free for now while i investigate what others have done. Any help would be great guys! I cut mine with an angle grinder after my dremel tool broke and used the black rubber line they gave with the kit to act as a protection layer around the cutout.

Examine the front area and look for opportunities to move anything clear that you can. View intercooler void before I turned the horns around to face back at the car for the time being but i'll relocate them again properly when i mount the new front bumper. The view from the top Next you should spend some time mocking it up and checking clearances, mount points and other objects. Heres mine mocked in... I chose NOT to cut away the front bumper bar section for fitment, instead opting to bend the lower lip clear of the cooler. It's been done pretty neatly considering and is not visible with the bumper on. I moved the sensor that was sitting just infront of the oil cooler at base by rebending the bracket so it sits directly below the oil cooler. folded lower lip of bumper To fit the cooler i used the short bracket provided and carefully drilled and tapped a hole into the top of the cooler. The top section is just a flat piece of allow bent up as channel so i had about 4mm of thread depth and 4mm of space to thread in past it. View of top hole into fmic View of it fitted below and above, you can see where i ran the brackets. Only had to drill one hole into the under bar for the passenger side bracket.

engine bay before thanks to the diy i had read from here taking the bumper off was too easy. My son even helped hahaha Take the air box out and the two black pipes connecting to the side mount intercooler. Then work the clamps free and undo the mount bolts to take the smic out pipe holes for smic after removal Keep the lower pie as it's reused again in the new setup just chuck it aside.

Last weekend i got stuck in and fit up the front mount intercooler kit from JJR to my R34 GTT. I chose NOT to go with the cooling pro stealth kit for both look and later practicality, knowing sooner or later i'll end up upgrading to a side mount plennum. I say right now it's a daily and i wont but i know myself well enough to know i probably will. hahahahaCooler kit as advertised After delivery this is the kit and the cooler SIDE PROJECT I painted my forum name onto the cooler before i went ahead and fitted it. The results are great considering they cost nothing. Using some A4 paper, some patience, tape, stanley knife and the original box i was able to make a very suitable stencil. A can of black enamel spray paint and bobs your uncle.

did the grounding trick last weekend and it's much better. But i crave more, so im thinking im going to install the turbosmart t valve i have at home this weekend and tune to 10-12 psi. Thanks guys this was top mod!

Thanks mate! FYI for those interested once mine is installed i'll be doing a DIY thread for R34 gtt setup. That is unless someone does before hand of course...

do it, the shorter the better. Less piping means not only some saving in capacity but also reduces the amount of piping that can and will absorb heat. In my other project car i have such short piping due to the flipped cooler method you spoke of that my intake pipe stays cool to touch even on long drives. The turbo side only reaches luke warm so i assure you the intake temps will thank you which will equate to a worthy gain. As said above though a forward facing plennum is a must.

having not watched any prior eps last nite didnt get me off on the right foot. however all was redeemed when i saw the stig will be fanging the r35 next week so im eagerly awaiting that ep. they said unlimited r35 does that mean the mines one??? it looked white so im assuming here... on a side note i spotted my first r35 on sunday at heatherbrae just north of newi, silver and slick she took my eyes for an extended glance for sure!!!!!!!!!!

Well cruise was good and although im not aware of any SAU members attending there were a few skylines made it along. Myself in the r34 4 door from Newcastle, an r33 4 door and an r32 both from Taree and an r33 from Port Next years destination will be Sydney North and the year after Dubbo or Muswellbrook, then back to Port the year after if all goes well. Some wrap up pics below for those who are interested. The Taree crew were ready and waiting at the service centre, though we lost a few on the way...LOL Here's the head turning camry. Nice guy for sure... The skylines i missed the chance to get a pic of as with the commodore wagon, 180sx and others that came along The datto and the capri stole the show for me. I really enjoyed seeing them. Clean and done well for sure... At the two destinations we stopped at Deans galant with commodore 3.8L efi our moderator Amber working hard The port crew came down to check out what we were up to... Some hot rides up there for sure and these were the few that stopped in A lovely old couple enjoyed lunch on the beach and cruise that day obviously and though none of us had noticed the car until they left, it certainly turned our heads. An original spec (with era mags) Ford Cortina...

Guys after buying a trust style BOV recently from JJR i decided to fit her up and do my usual thing in posting the how to. Here's the BOV i got witha universal adaptor (not needed) Pic of the factory BOV with rubber pipe removed to the return line. It plumbs back to the intake, though i havnt bothered to plug it yet as im not aware of any reason it has to be. Remove the factory BOV and you'll find a 1" hole approx into the manifold pipe note the extra vacuum line coz it could get in the way later. Mine went in fine though so its check twice cut once guys... Overlay the factory BOV on some cardboard then the new one and trace the individual shapes in positions that will suit the layout without fouling the vac line or bolt heads etc. This way you make an adaptor plate that keeps the original stuff close at hand. Then take some 10mm alloy plate and drill, cut file and shave until its smooth and slick. Here's mine before final filing of centre hole. And after thats done fitted to BOV using supplied bolts. Fit her back up with the gasket you took off the factory one and presto! Run a new line from the manifold to the BOV (i used smaller Blue silicone line) And enjoy the new toy... You can see another part of why i aimed it away. Lines up with my vent in the CF hood nicely. Defected no probs un bolt and return to stock instantly. Thanks

thanks man thats a huge help

explain deano??? where is the airbag sensor mate? in my experience the airbag sensor is up the front bar area? Provided it's not structural element of the front end (ie chassis rail) it shouldnt be a problem. The front reo cut makes me nervous for sure as it's there low speed impacts and crumple control but to the best of my knowledge (so far) i'm not aware of the hole going through a chassis rail. Im still yet to get into my fmic install but soon thats for sure... Are you saying the air bag sensor is in the chassis rail or area of the cutout? in which case thats hardly a product that responsible intercooler manufacturers should be marketing kits to cut now is it... The question i want the answer to is where do i tap in the hose on top of the existing return pipe (ie the power steer one he mentioned in original post)

Cruise is still happening guys n girls. Weather is looking like being a fine 21°c in Port Macquarie and a 19°c in Newcastle. Camp quality girls are coming along to collect funds and enjoy the day too, so it should be a great day out. Cant wait... Hope to see some of you there!

PM sent just gotta get my cooler in guys then its off to get the kit fitted and painted. WOOP

i just soiled myself...

for those interested in passing the word flyer is available lookin forward to it should be good fun. Hope the weather pulls up nicely for us.

+1 running jjr's here and no problems at all now. had one fail within days of going in but JJR replaced it without hassle and very compensative. So as long as they go on for long time im happy. with the money i saved i now have a full sick BOV too hahaha

its no surprise to me and ford & dodge/chrysler will be next IMO. The world wide market demands fuel economy, efficiency, minimal environmental impact and minimum safety standards well beyond the crap of yester year. While GM and Ford, Dodge and all those other companies like such continue to build massive bulky over compensating statements of size, that chew juice like its goin out of fashion, struggle to meet 1996 emmissions standards and offer the drivers/ occupants very little in terms of safety (they assume they are biggest therefore safest hahahaha), they will continue to struggle to sell cars. Globally they cant compete and in their own countries the imports keep invading with status and value for money. Sadly the economy is linked to it in many ways right down to locally so many will suffer on front page news. Funny how the countries that ratified kyoto quickly and jumped on the efficient bandwagon early are now making the biggest profits. Pig headed american attitudes will see them and their monstorous freedom buckets with their constantly empty trays banished to the land of the rednecks for use in trailers and jerry springer settlements in no time. Seriously did they forget that they are just one country??? I just hope our aussie economy can sling over to it's asian connection before we sink with the ship.

KTV i hope you find what your after mate. I see your idea your after but i hesitate to believe it will work either. The current lights are lexan plastic suitable for the job but it like almost any other clear plastic is subject to yellowing. Mainly on the outside but some have evidence on the inside too. As you know you can polish them with just about any polish or compound, and its as you said only temporary. The latest hype, "Glassylite" product they claim works much longer so im looking to try that out soon. Maybe if your looking to mould a new face you should be asking can a glass guy remake the face in glass??? Now that'd be an idea... Let me just say the first person to make a replacement unit for r33 & r34 with glass lense will make a fortune worldwide...

i have a stock gtt bonnet for sale if your looking to mod one, but it sounds like your after an already done bonnet that looks largely standard with the exception of a bulge moulded in? If your after a stock one mate give mea pm and we'll set something up. Im in newcastle

Page 9 after the boot photography photo frenzy rofl at your adaptive skills! Good form! Did ya ever find out what was the facination with the boot??? mate thanks very much for your efforts this thread is awesome. Just lost an hour and half of my work day but it was no waste i assure you.... more please

front bar is top secret as expected by yesterdays chat. Looks good to me but its gotta have a little smoothing work done once fitted for sure.

clutch - as direct as Guilt Toy was i assure you he knows his shit. Do his test and he'll give you an answer thats straight, not a maybe, a hear say or this happened to me answer. Punch it in third and report back what happens up top of the rev range.

thanks guys for clarifying the whole east bear, cross factory, bomex, top secret thing. I'll go home n unwrap the front bar sarvo to see if its top secret or bomex. I'd say it'll be top secret, which is cool with me. Lanky71 - Yep the rear bar sits lower especially through the mid area. Gotta get her in to get it done over the next week or two, cant wait to see the results. For me the key is avoiding commercially available kits that are the same on any car (ie the skirted uras kit sold for almost any car), im going for something simple, but at the same time a little unique. I'm pretty confident i have what i wanted. The only line im worried about is the sideskirts from the front bar throught to the rear as they start off curved.
