Hey i want to put a 600x300 front mount on my skyline i have a r33 ser 1.5 just wondering what intercooler kit i need cuz ive looked at some and i just cant see where the piping will go. In the pictures on the intake side of the cooler the pipe comes from the left up past the fan and then into the original cooler pipe, but in mine theres no possible place i can see for that to happen unless u need to cut something out. The only other thing i can think of is that i need a piping kit that raplaces the original as in follows down the right hand side where the original piping runs and then the intake pipe goes arround the back of the cooler into the intake side of the intercool. Can someone please help me out.

show me pics of piping kit

ok i have just dont this and well worth the effort if u take the front bar off put it on the bench and u will find the cooler should sit nicely inside it with a little trimming then i ran a piece of bar across from bumper iron to bumper iron then hung it off there.get it as far foward as possable then u wont get hooked up in the ac fan and u may have 2 turn your horns around as well.i took my windscreen washed bottle our from the drivers side and ran my piping up through a new hole i made when the washer sat.if u plan well u can reinstall the washed on a different angle. if u make the piping yourself u will b able 2 use a lot of the old piping but play and u will see what i mean. i think it is also worth the effort to rum your piping from the turbo across the top of the fan then bring the cold air the short way home up through one of your old intercooler holes. it amazes me when i see so many with a pob filter under the bonnet after fitting a frontmount cos there is a spare hole now on the left and i opened it slightly an ran a 3" bend fight off the turbo inlet rubber through the hole and put my pod where my old cooler used 2 sit .and no shit u will get a good hp gain with out changing anything else .my new cooled had strait outlet piping not sure if yours does well good luck and hope it helps

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
