This is a guideline for NSW on modifications which are allowed before a engineer's certificate is required.

Page 4 has the info on chasis modifications. On a whole, it basically says, Unless you are modifying a structural part of the car, you are fine.

I still can't find anyone who has one for sale....

OK

ebay, search Apexi

you'd want a secondhand good condition Apexi Hybrid intercooler made for the 180SX.

I use one in my Stagea. Got it sent from japan, was $300US I think delivered..............

does exactly what I want it to do, and Im sure it'll be good for 200+Awkw on my 4wd Stagea. :angry:

see: http://www.apexi-usa.com/product_suction_d...d=215&pageNum=1

this is what it looks like:post-18854-1146808880.jpg

from the apexi website:

The Hybrid Intercooler is designed to cool intake air temperatures going into the engine. Cold air is packed densely with air molecules and promotes more combustion within the motor. This equates to more power potential. The Hybrid Inter-cooler Series uses an exclusive cross flow design on all the cores. These cores are the only cores designed specifically for front mount applications.

The front of the core uses a delta wedge face with two different types of fins. The fins at the base of the delta wedge are tightly packed, while the fins at the top of the delta wedge are loosely packed. This channels the air hitting the front of the intercooler to the tightly packed fins at the base of the delta wedge for maximum cooling. The loosely packed fins at the top of the delta wedge prevent any unnecessary wind turbulence.

The fins on the back side of the intercooler extend out to the same length to "shoot" the air into the radiator without excess turbulence. A'PEXi is the only manufacturer with this patented design. A quick look through popular racing magazines will show the unmistakable Hybrid Intercooler sitting comfortably in the front bumper of many race and street cars.

CONCEPT:

Front-mount intercooler with exceptional cooling capabilities

CHARACTERISTICS:

Unique delta-fins maximize heat transfer; ultra-low pressure drop

I've been searching Ebay, nothing on there at the moment.

Yah - gotta keep trying every 5 days LOL

I missed the first one I was bidding on, the moment it ended another one came up for sale.

I "bought it now" as such right there and then!

Definately efficient, and would be perfect on the 6cyl 2.0litre you have.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
