I managed to get my intercooler behind my autech front bar with no chopping of the bumper or the bumper reinforcement. Off the top of my head, the measurements were 600*300*68 (maybe 60 or 70).

I had to move the horn bracket, and bend the aircon reciever bracket to make a little more room in there. I don't have a fan mounted on my aircon heatexchanger though, I don't know if it will fit now the intercooler is there.

I'll try get some photos.

Dang, I wish my car wernt away for the winter :mad: ...My FMIC with the Stock front bar looks really good. Hella lot better than these ones. I did take the AC out though that helps alot for fitting a big IC under that stocker. I'll try to find some old pics maybe.

Ye air con made it a bit hard. Gonna pull it all out anyway cuz I dont really use it.

Has anyone pulled it out? How hard is it to de-gas etc?

yep of course i have!

dunno about gas, supposed to get someone to do it coz its really bad for atmosphere or something but i have known people to simply unscrew and let it out...

just unbolt the ac unit thing on side of engine.

unscrew and remove air con condensor (need to remove radiator)

and then just cable tie the loose lines afterwards.

very simple once you get started :laugh:

I reckon wait another couple of weeks before you decide on removing that glorious aircon lol... If you do though just watch the pressure as it can piss all over you if your not careful!

haha nah i used it about twice last year. makes funky noises and leaks coolant out the motor so i think its time it went bye bye.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
