Ok, here's a pic of the cooler fitted. Basically the bar that goes across the middle has been removed and my front bar (series 1 non m-spec) has been butchered to give maximum flow. I dont think it looks too bad, but up close it does look crap. I'll take some photo's of the car with the front bar fitted up tomorrow morning. First impressions is I feel maybe another 10-20HP at the wheels, the car is certainly pulling much harder than before. I cant hear any pinging (before it was quite loud, marbles rattling around) but it still may be pinging. Next stop will be a dyno and maybe look at my AF ratio's to find out how rich the car is running. Next mod will be the dump+front pipe, wait a few months then SAFC 2 (hopefully the dollar holds out against the yen) then a few more months and the ogura flywheel (as per rev210). Then I'm not sure... its either bigger turbo or full ecu, I'm sure I will need a new fuel pump and regulator before that stage. I also want a 400r front bar for the front now, seeing as I have a fmic to suit. Enjoy pic, I will post more tomorrow.

Oh yeah. I'd like to thank AJ, Sumo and Baz @ Speedworks ((2428888) for all their work and help with the kit and car. Although it took a damn long time to get it all sorted, it looks and performs great and their workmanship is 2nd to none. I think I will get some aluminin pipes made up to go into the engine bar from the cooler to turbo and manifold. If anyone is considering a jap cooler I reckon give them a go (they also make coolers too, if you cant stretch the budget that far). :P

Ok, pics of the front bar and cooler. As you can see the middle section of the front bar has been chopped and my number plate moved to the side. Its not bad from the pics, but up close you can see where the plastic was cut and it looks average, but all I am interested in is flow. I'll be heading down to SST tonight between 7-7:30pm to dyno the car if anyone else wants to turn up and have a look your more than welcome. Enjoy.

I have that same cooler (or similar model), sweet.

what did the bar chopping cost or did you so it yourself?

also did you get a quote for a cleaner chop where they cap the ends of the hole etc?

I always think about getting out the hacksaw and chewing into the front bar but so far I've chickened out.

I cant say how much it cost me, but thats what most people would pay. As I said before speedworks do all my work, and I've known ivan & crew for a while. This kit took 2 hrs to fit, I'd like to see an aussie kit being fitted in 2 hrs or less as most of them simply dont bolt into place as easily and as quickly as japanese stuff. I've always been a believer that japanese stuff is much better than aussie stuff (you pay for what you get), plus I'd rather pay the extra now and go over what I might end up needing than pay less now and then find it wont flow as well as it should and have to spend more money down the track. I still havent decided upon how much power I want exactly. If I choose a gt3037 turbo, I'll need a cooler this size to handle it. Anyway, I'm happy with the kit, regardless of how much I paid. Why are japanese exhausts dearer than the aussie made ones? I've heard a jap one and a aussie one side by side and the aussie is far much louder than the japanese, but the flow on the japanese is better. I doubt my car would be faster than someone whose done the same mods but only spent $1500 on a cooler.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
