Hey peoples,

After the extremely good response to my thread about my decision to make and sell good coolers cheap, i was interested to see so many of you would like a full cooler kit instead of just the cooler (seems logical ey :P ) So i have thought about things a bit more thoroughly and have found that for me to make the cooler i was saying and a piping kit will raise costs a little more than i want. So i have looked around and i know most of you would have heard of them but Hyrbid make a bar and plate cooler with cast tanks and is very efficient and very good overall. Quality build and good performance. It has a 0.2 psi pressure drop across the core at 15psi which is a very good cooler, bar and plate which is an advantage in itself, and can be mounted to any car. I was wondering if you gusy would still be keen if i got hold of these coolers in bulk and then created an alloy piping kit for them ready to bolt onto the car for around say the $1200 mark if you would still be keen? I am definately more keen about this as it allows me to give you gusy the whole package rather than just a cooler and then worry about the organisation of the rest of the stuff, at least this way you can just bolt it on yaself cos it isn't a complicated task to do. The cooler i am talking about can be seen on my avatar on the 500hp GTR... i guess this explains these coolers mean business if it is running on a 500HP GTR with the stuff that guy has on it, big turbos, comp, boost etc. and with excellent results.

I am very eager to jump to it this way if you are there to back me, and as i stated in the first thread, i am a perfectionist and don't compromise on quality or performance, and have done my research into these coolers. So i believe it is equally as good to anything i was going to have built and also is bar and plate. Think about it and post me your thoughts cos if people are keen i am going to start straight away. With making an R33 piping kit from my car and a 180sx/silvia piping kit from my mates car.

Thnx for your time everyone, J.

If possible asap... i just have to get hold of the coolers which just contacting the distributor to organise a deal of a certain number of them, then i have to get one fitted to my car to make a blank of the piping then remove it again and get the piping copied in alloy as one piece, with no welded joins, and then get hold of clamps and silicon joins then its ready to go. I want them ready to go in the next fortnight at the lastest. I'll psot definate details this week.

Hey guys,

Just about definate at the moment to go ahead with the kits. Hopefully should order the coolers by the end of the week and start working on the piping kit asap, so should have kits for R33's in about 2 weeks ready to be shipped. Price as i said is looking at around the $1200 mark, with teh bar and plate Hybrid core, alloy one piece piping (not a cut and weld job) piping, all silicon joins and clampst ready to fit. I'll push to have them as soon as i can.

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
