Hey guys, i installed my intercooler today the blitz lm! and i was quite impressed. Anyway just wondering if its ok to have your front bar cut and choped... for the blitz LM where the pipes go back to your factory route...? in melbourne. Here is a pic below.. as im worried a copper will pull me over... its messy and untidy but here we go!

Thanks, Geraus.

omg that looks way so much better than mine :banana:! dammmm! umm but yeh just for now would it be ok till i save up and buy the front bar and trim it properly. I mean i trimed it a lil bit but yeh, just wanting to know...

Thanks, Geraus

shit man... why did you mutilate the bottom lip section?

Its a bolt-in kit... well... near enough to it anyhow.

As long as you dont chop the reo, your ok... but thats just gonna attract attention regardless

For the time being, get some garden lining and nail it along the bottom of the bar for a makeshift lip lol. My mate did it when he cut open his bar, looks alright, if you're not looking up close.

lol....sorry bud, i think you got a little to eager with things. good idea to get a kit that uses the factory pipes but having all your bits hangin out kinda defeats the purpose.

dont want to rub salt into the wound but it looks a little crooked too.

sometimes its best to take a step back, take a deep breath, and ask the good guys on the forum for some help and advice especially when it comes to hackin into the car.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
