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)

yeah I wouldn't say they're the cheapest in town but they did get mine sorted out properly

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

Was it hanging out below the front bar?? If it is then yes its a defect but if it wasn't then guess the cop was just bored :D

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
