If u want 2 replace the 2 plastic clips that hold front of snorkel down, just go 2 your local nissan dealer. I was able 2 buy them over the counter there and then. Take a sample with u. Do u have any trouble with ground clearance of front spoiler?. Sorry I am a bit off subject.

i'm gonna get some of those clips from my dads workshop (Auto electrician)

my car isnt that low at all but i have to be careful going up driveways, and i cant get the front bar over gutters when parking

front on pic please

want to see what a cooler looks like tucked behind that front bar...

check out the 5th pic, i dont have any other photos at the moment, and its dark outside

wow definately a tidy install - jealous. Noice work by both them and yourself.

Goddammit i dont even HAVE a unicorn. just a mess where my last TWO have been STOLEN. some doofus probably thought it would look cool on his starion.

yeah i was very impressed with the piping kit, it all lined up and went together pretty smoothly, especially considering how cheap it was. ive sold my standard (R34) side mount for $200, so the whole kit only ended up costing me $245, which is awesome, when modifying on a budget... (second year apprentice :D)

Hi Andy,

looks like you had to take a fair bit off the airbox snorkel as well to get the piping through....I have the stagea sr1 with the old rb25det engine ....will I be able to install the piping without having to cut out the snorkel? ..would help if I wanted to return the car to stock if I sell it in the future.

you will still need to modify the airbox on a series 1 if you use this type of intercooler kit, if you are that worried about it just buy another snorkel, they arent that expensive second hand.

i recon for 450 bucks you wouldnt bother removing it when u sell its going to ad more value than that anyway.just my 2 cents worth

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
