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)

piss off mark lol its OK alrite? not a beast yet but im workin on it. Had 2 ajust the pipes last nite, ripped em off on my driveway, was glad i had about a meter and a half of pipe left over, i cut up and used that. handy. there alil higher no so dnt scrape as much.

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

yes i think it restricts airflow but not now!!! see pics below!!!

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!!

o and yes i have btw since repiped the cooler using a proper piping kit, i regret my first decision-diy piping kit bent by exhaust shop-noooo bingo.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
