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.

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
