dont need to be fast and cheap. many guys on the forums fit their own intercoolers and thus can help you out. and the bonus to that is that they wont charge you to help you out.

if u need a hand, ill help you out if want.

pm me.

Ye, well if you wanna take 4-5 hours out of your day or more, thats fine. But not everyone can afford this leisure.

Also to a search of this section about "kits" etc. There are a good number of threads about how peoples kits apparently "dont fit".

When in actual fact they do fit, its the installation that was wrong.

This just comes down to people not knowing what they are doing, nothing wrong with that, or being handy with tools. Thats how life is.

If your not that handy, paying someone $200 to fit a cooler is filthy cheap for the work involved. And you know its going to be done right the first time, aligned correctly etc etc.

IMO its easier to take out a motor than fit a cooler, and you pay more to have a motor taken out... where as a cooler is a royal pain.

If its just jap/hybrid style kit, hybrid has a installation manual you could download from there website so it would be pretty much the same for any ic of the same style

If you cant find it pm and ill email it to you cause its on my comp at home somewhere.

getting mine done at proteck in preston for 2 hunge, same cooler also. me and a mate could probably do it but i couldnt be bothered attempting it, and having it installed professionally is good peice if mind to know its done right.

i say go at it yourself, things other people do to your car you might not like especially if its dirt cheap. cutting that hole, placing rubber guard around the hole, flipping ur horns around, cutting a section of reo out and then fitting and installing the cooler urself shouldnt be too much of a hassle. I will find out but people assure me 3-4 hours, an FMIC to be installed and some beer = great times.

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
