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.

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
