Yeh the kit fitted pretty good. I didnt have to trim the blades but.

What I have to do is.

Trim bumper frame at the back.

Trim the front bar (as you can see)

Drill one hole for the piping.

One thing i would like the kit to have is a pipe from the turbo outlet, that is better then the stock one.

The just jap kit uses the stock pipe for this.

Oh I havent got any pics of the exhaust but its was pretty simple to install (once the old rusty one was off).

Does anyone know where the best place to put the boost controller on to. It used togo on the stock pipe out of the turbo but the JJ kit doesnt have a nipple on it. ATM I "T" ed it off at the BOV but its not working properly. I think the BOV effects it.

Well sofar its fine. The kit looks like good quality and is all polished up. You can feel the difference after a good thrash in the temps of the piping and the end tanks.

Just 2 things I would like to change.

1. Put a nipple on the out pipe of the IC for the boost controller

2. Ditch the stock out pipe from the turbo and replace with a manrel bent Stainless one.

I'm thinking about getting one of these justjap intercoolers too. Any problems with it so far? Probably a bit early to be asking! :(

Would you recommend one of these???

1. the boost controller goes in between the hose from the actuator to the outlet of the turbo(compressor cover where says garett ,nothing to do with blow off valve ,

2. why ?

I know it goes on the outlet of the turbo but there is no nipple to attach it to.

If you have a look at the pipe out of the turbo its got a realy bad bend 90degrees. A larger manrel bend here wouldn't hurt

run the boost control from the plenum.. will give less drop in the positive pressure reading.

the r33 turbo does not have the outlet on the turbo itself.

the r32 turbo has this outlet..

Would it be a problem if its connected with the BOV

Like in this pic?

wouldn't see an issue with it, just make sure it seals REALLY well .. use cable ties on your joins and should be fine..

check all teh hoses for any cracks, or just use new ones.. cos if it leaks your boost will spike and you'll have big issues..

Ok cool thanks mate.

One thing ive noticed with the BOV is at no boost it doesnt go off anymore.. you just here the turbo flutter sound. But when on boost it does the normal sound. Im guessing its due to the new intercooler.

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
