finally put my cooler on after like a month of it lying beside my bed doin nothing.

Decided to do it the easy way and use the origional holes, makes sense rather that having the pipe

full of cold air running into my engine goin over the radiator and heating up its below the cooler stayin cold.

Intercooler $200 bar and plate

Pipes (2.5") $90 with a meter straight run left over, bent by zhaust shop.

Rubber hose and clamps around $120 i think. bunnings and supercheap

6hrs of labour with the misses brother helping- FREE!

tools used-me and alan. lol

took these pics last nite, have since driven it and need to ajust the 180 degree pipe as going over bumps it

gets squashed into the tow hook-solution:- cut off tow hook.

p.s would like to say a big bye bye to my reo bar, sorry to see u gone mwah xxx (lol)

yea its standard, very rare tho, was on the spotted thread talking to a guy with a 2 door the same colour. ive only seen max 7 cars with this paint,(a 4door,2door,mine,a bluebird and a jaguar.) its stated as blue/grey on my rego sticker but a few people have said its "ice green" that sounds better lol) id have to repipe the intercooler the regular way before i cud lower this on coilovers (im thinkin of doin this as speed bumps and my drive way are giving me the shits now) and as for the deep dishes i dunno, the way i go thru tire atm im better sticking to stockos at $50 a tire it cant be beaten rather than forking out for 18 inchers all the time.

Nice looking car Darren, i have the same colour on my four door r33, I've seen one the same in my area too, that and another green and grey one, which doesnt look as good in my opinion.

Im with you about sticking to stock rims, cheap tyres all the way

Im looking at doing a front mount like you have the pictures of. Do you think the front bar restricts the airflow much? because looking at our cars there doesnt seem to be that much room for the air to get in. Oh and kudos for the plates

thanks for the plate comments, i love them sooo much! my misses had the biggest nag wen i told her what i wanted to get she was like "get something about u incase u sell the car" (her names sally and her plates are 45ALY, go figure) but im like nahhh, the plates will go with the car wherever it goes, it deserves them took me ages to think them up!!

ps- big thanks to GTR-Geoff from sauqld for the donor bumper below!!(sorry i chopped it up!)

Looks awesome with the intercooler showing now. I chopped up my bar somewhat similar to yours. You have three little fins hanging out from the top, you going to take them off?

The bar is very flimsy isnt it? LOL!..

    • Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it. 
    • So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up. 
    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
