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

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
