im just trying to suss out where to run my intercooler in my MR30 so if anyone has any pics of there setup on either a HR30 or MR30 post them up it would be a big help

This give you the right ideas?

Cheers, D

Pretty sums it all up well.

Im running mine thru where the radiator bottle usually sits. Drilled some 3" holes. Works well

thanks guys thats a huge help got any pics of your setup stagefumer11

It's not rocket science!

Just remove the overflow bottle and run both in & out pipes through the radiator support panel beside the radiator.

i know it will go through the radiator support pannel fine but getting it around the Receiver Drier is my main concern cos i want to keep the Aircon

Me too!

I guess the front of your MR and my HR are similar?

I will be sacrificing the headlight washer pump, but I think a bit of custom pipe work for the air con connection to the filter will be my only concern.

There is 60 & 70mm clearance over and in front of the filter for pipes to go.

The configuration and size of the intercooler is the biggest consideration. It is my belief that core sizes in the vicinity of 600 x 300 x 100 are a WOFTAM for our application. These things flow enough air for upwards to 1000HP and when we are talking in less than half, I can't see the point.

A long time back now rsx84 put me onto a DR30 HKS Drag Intercooler at Option 1 Garages in Brisbane. Everyone on this forum, including himself ignored it and dismissed it as it wasn't big enough for their application. What they didn't consider was the maker (HKS) and the purpose it was designed and built. It's only 400 x 280 x 65 core, but it flows a huge amount of air and enough to easily support 5 or 600HP. Some imaginative piping has to be made so it works with the L series, but it still is probably better than the monsters they fit to their own vehicles.

Some on these forums believe stock R32 & R33 intercoolers will flow 350HP and thats more than enough for a turbo L24E and are quite compact and have the piping going the right way.

Have you ever considered this configuration???

It is by far big enough for my L28et application & I'm looking at 300+ HP at the wheels on a good day at under a bar of boost.

Cheers, D

Good reply.

Other intercoolers you should look at is top mount units off celicas and Gti-r's They flow enough to support a l24et (there is a factory nissan l24et beleive it or not! ) Or a l20et. I was using a top mounted GT4 celica one. Made a massive diffrence over none at all.

Still got it up for grabs also :P

so you have a top mount setup for a l24 with piping aswell

I had a top mount cooler running in the front. Been removed awhile ago. No piping anymore as that was used for the new upgraded one. Which has now been sold as a package.

Got the cooler still. Both outlets are on the same side, Core is about 300x300x70mm or so. PRetty good :)

how much you want for it

make me a offer, it has a little bit of scuffed fins, but ok condition. Dunno what the shipping would be on it

its ok ive got one sorted this is what im getting

pict0358kw7.th.jpg

Im not getting it till the Australia day weekend so when i get it what i will do is take some photos of my progress and do a step buy step procedure for installing it and i will also do the same with the L24E turbo conversion

looks good, the core doesnt look like a good flowing one tho

o well shit happens it will be good enough 2 get me started

all i have left on the list of things is

.oil pump

.vaccum controll thingy

.boost gauge

.boost tee

.bov

.R33 GTS-T turbo and dump

and then it will finally be time to start YAY

The oil pump is a must, you have to get a turbo L series oil pump.

The L20ET pump will do, but you can get bigger, just depends on how much money you want to spend.

I have a type 1 BOV if it's of any use to you, I bought it for a similar conversion but never used it. I also have a new VDO Boost gauge and a manual boost controller (same as advertised on these forums) a bleed off type ball valve controller.

PM me if your interested.

i had a 600x 300x 75mm cooler fitted to the HR for a while till i removed it to use in the r31, mounted with the inlet and outlet pipes below the front bar surports, piping was long as it ran back behind the cooler and both came up through where the air box was....

i will be putting a similar sized core back in but mounted differently so i can reduce the length of piping...

core in the same spot but mounted upside down (inlet & outlet at the top) 90deg bends straight off the inlet & outlets, holes cut in body just below the lights then piping straight to the turbo, maybe a front facing plenium (i have an rb engine) to save an extra 1-2 foot of piping..

a mate has a similar set up in his r31 and theres at least 3-4 foot of piping saved compared to my old set up....

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
