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.

    • When sanding across a convex panel, you need to sand, as much as possible, at right angles to the curve. If the panel is compound convex curved (ie curved in both directions) then you are SOL and have to use "craftsmanship" to get it right.
    • Today in Skyline arts and crafts!! I’ve made some progress.    had to put extra notes in there so I don’t stuff it up 😂
    • This sounds like me. And then why I leave shit that I had previously hobbled together broken. Lately I've changed strategies to "If I don't want to justify the money on decent stuff, I'm not going to justify hobbling it together". I'm still for DIY, but DIY it properly is more my thing. However, I am terrible on not setting up backups still... Which reminds me, I need to go backup some of my work VM machines... Oh, it's also why I've become a lover of building things into Docker Containers... Then I just need a machine that can run docker, and bam, that specific system is up and running, on the specific versions of everything I need for it to run (In the event a change in required software version breaks something else). Also, these days, my steep learning curves are spent with work related stuff, and on very varied projects, that my want to do other random projects like build a dashboard for my own car has dwindled away to "I just want the car running", which is my current PITA, as I'm getting the Landcruiser usable again, and it has just been non-stop the past 6 to 8 weeks of buying parts, and working on it. Oh, and tools that are meant to be fit for purpose... And they break, because 25 year old 4WD decides it's stronger... But by the time I have it ready to roll back out the drive way, nearly all the stuff in it will have been touched and serviced, so the damn thing better give me NO FREAKING ISSUES, for at least the next 50,000KMs! Just redone whole front of the motor, and resealed the up top stuff, replaced a bunch of things getting perished, new timing belt done, water pump, lower timing cover (Toyota diesel engine runs timing GEARS for the bottom half the motor, and a timing belt from halfway up to the top), new harmonic balancer, fix up the alternator, new thermostat, full swivel hub rebuild, new bearings and seals front and back, steering box rebuild, new battery, and today, it turns out a rear shock has let go, so four new shocks are about to go on order, and that will leave me with after the next run of work, to see if I need to order just a brake caliper re-seal, or if I'll need new pistons in them too. Oh, and I'll finish welding in the new floor sheet metal shortly too. Presently I just want it finished already... But once all the above is done, I still need to fully service diffs, gearbox, transfer, and motor. Then flush and bleed the clutch, and flush and bleed the brakes. But enough about our waffle, back to Duncan's heat problems... I think for Duncan he just gets a thermoswitch, and a manual switch to run some water misters. Thermo so it's only on above certain temps, and the manual switch so it can be turned off even if it is above certain temperatures. IE, switch on for "I'm now on track", then it doesn't need any "smart" computers that might try and do things wrong. And switch the thing off completely on the cool down lap, so when he stops in pits, there's not even a possibility of it dripping any water out to get him in trouble.
    • So I ran into the same problem. I got stuck in the cycle of again of putting putty sanding it, putting putty sanding it, because of a low spot. And notice my block is not completely flat with the panel, even though it's a long block. My panel is slightly curved. Is this an issue? Do I need something that matches the door perfectly, or no?    I do have the smaller flexible block that covers the width of the repair just not the length, I was experimenting with it again to but seems to be the same issue
