DONT go to ASE

I went there with my cooler and they quoted me ELEVEN HUNDRED to supply and fit pipes

my costs were $200 to do it myself

Boostwerkx could help you out (they arranged the lipping for me)

with my custom intercooler piping i made up a template out of $20 poly pipe and fitting from bunnings and then took it to AAA and it cost $140 for them to supply and bend it up out of 2 inch stainless so for 2.5 inch that you are looking at it'll cost less than $200. Make sure that you use the size poly pipe that you intercooler piping is going to be as it makes it easier for them to get the angles right, and also make sure you deal with the bloke that owns the place and not the bloke with the British accent. Every time he has touched anything on my car he has stuffed it, like a week ago i took in one of the pipes to get a mandrel bend put in it to make it fit my new turbo. He said yep he can do it went and put it in the press bender and before i could say anything put a press bend in my piping. He then claimed that it wouldn't flow less than a mandrel bend and it would be fine, which isn't the point.

So yes they are great but make sure you get the right person serving you.

I suggest you sell the GTR core and buy yourself an ISC kit or even a Greddy kit mate.....saves the hassle....i was looking at getting a GTR intercooler but then decided to get a Greddy one and couldnt be happier mate....all fits nicely and does a wicked job of cooling....you can either spray that black or leave it as it is.....either way it will do the job and i have not heard of anyone getting done for a fmic....touch wood

hahah i got done for front mount gtr cooler!! told me was a direct defect! bullshite

      So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.

      Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go

      OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
