Keymake - is that the one floating round on the web? About hybrid install..

Did you guys have to trim the back of your indicators?

I've had to remake some brackets etc.

Must say that it isn't the most fun job. You feel like you're haking the sht out of your car hahah (Mostly all plastic though).

Might have to respray some of the bumper. Does anyone know if you can get the dark grey colour that is the darker tone on the 2 - tone silver and charcoal. The colour on the bottom part of the bumper and doors etc.

Not sure. I got sent this one from just jap. It's got Auto Bahn written on the top of the page.

Yeah I trimmed my indicators down as well. Refitting the front bar took more time than to fit the cooler.

As for the paint, Go to somewhere that mixes auto paint. Give them your paint code and they can put it in a pressure pack for you. Should cost about $35 for a 300ml pressure pack. See if you can find the paint code in the engine bay.

Anyways - the snorkel will need almost demolishing. What do others do besides running pods?

modify the snorkel. i couldnt find much direction anywhere besides running a pod in an enclosed box. making its not too bad. a few on here have done it. and ive posted this up before.

Thanks Jake - nice pics. Will have to do that sometime. Did you add another feed since you have lost a bit of the inlet size?

Looks like I'm having to trim quite a bit of the fan blades - anybody had problems with the car running hot after doing this?

Also, it seems the top pipe just rests on the bonnet when you shut it. Can't really reposition it any better..these kits are a little dodge..not bad for the price though. Its resting on some insulation in one small area so should be ok I guess

hard to see by the pics but the inlet/mouth size hasnt changed that much.. a tiny bit smaller but thats all. no difference in temp, and feel absolutley no power loss. just running some plastic pipe up to the old stock cooler hole.. which obviously does nothing for CAI but somewhat.. is better than nothing..

i got my cooler installed at a workshop man. cant help ya. if ya got new clamps for the new FMIC then if there impossible to undo just cut the clamps off and you will have new clamps for the FMIC anyway.

They usually do ben because of the tight space you're working with (either hit the rad fan and have to trim it more, or hit the bonnet). Hitting the bonnet doens't necessary possess a problem. My strut brace touches the shield thing, and apart from marking it (putting an indentation in it, it deosn't do anything).

In regards to cutting the fan, i never noticed it running much hotter (not my car), but I have noticed that it CAN make wear the fan bearing wear quicker (since the fan is no longer balanced).

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
