Was just trial fitting the intercooler today (from JUST JAP) and found a few things I don't have answers for. The original pipe has a little nipple that comes out which is connected to the bleed valve/boost controller. If I take that piece off when I put the new pipe on, where is the boost controller gonna connect to?????.

The blue round things in from of the radiator...........would that be the horn?? if so, why are there two of them??

Lastly, big long pipe that goes over the fan, it has a piece of metal coming out with two holes that seems to connect to the two holes on the engine but when I trial fitted on, they don't seem to match up no matter how hard I try.

If anyone has some detail pic or info of their front mount install for a Series 2 GTST please help me out.

i had the some problem fitting one last week into my sons car o made a bracket that bolts to that flat bit plate and then onto the engine bracket i had to make new brackets for the intercooler as well as the supplied ones didnt quite line up. also the clamps supplied are a bloody tight fit and caused some grief as well my kit wasent from just jap tho it was a geniune hybrid hope the pic helps . btw the horns just undo them and mount them inside the engine bay next to the rad

sorry about posting the same pic twice here is the 2nd pic i ment to post

yep i have a photo where the hole goes but all it shows is the pilot hole for the centre of the holesaw btw the hose from the boost controller i just brought a t piece and connected it the line that comes out of the plenum to the fuel regulater seems to work ok not causing any hassles

do you have to relocate the washer bottle at all?

you wouldn't happen to have a picture of the hole from the engine bay would u? so I could get a rough idea where to drill the hole.

mate i didnt even remove the bottle when i drilled the hole the hybrid kit come with picturesand measurments for the hole give me ya email addy and i will pass on the instructions to ya

You'll prob find the cooler was made for an RB20 as the holes will match up no worries on the side of it. You can suvive without this part attached... I have mates who have just broken it off!!

i would rather spend 10 mins making a bracket than just to rip it off and have a lump of broken weld stuck on the pipe let alone taking the chance of tearing a hole in the pipe while ya just rip it off

I got a hybrid kit and it said to trim the fan to make the top pipe fit, i also remade the cooler mounts to make it easier to fit. Then i missed when i drilled the hole and made a bit of a mess, but that should be repaired asap

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
