Hey Everyone,
ive searched thoroughly, but long story short like hundereds off us with R33 GTS-T's and front mount non turn flow intercoolers ive been defected, ive already since the defect reinforced the hole i cut with a 40mm wide donut and welded it in place, ive also reinforced the front reo bar where i had to trim it, i organised for and engineer to have a look at my car and he was pleased with the reinforcements, he was keen to write up the engineers certificate then and there, but when he asked for the year of the car which is a 98 model, he asked whether the car had airbags or not, of course it does and he instantly said nah sorry mate i can't help you with the certificate, and that was that, i went to another engineer that same day and he also said he couldnt pass it due to the car having airbags,
Now what really frustrates me is that the R33 GTR has a front mount standard, has airbags and uses the same type of deployment sensor located under the centre console as the R33 GTS-T, and it isnt a problem, so why is it so difficult to get our GTS-T's engineered, where i cut the hole for the intercooler pipe even has the m6 bolt threads for where the GTR factory intercooler piping mounts up, it seems easier to get a engine conversion for a sr20 into a datto 1200 ute Engineered than that of what im trying to do, anyhelp would be much appreciated, Cheers
