I was just on the way home from work in the vt and stopped too get fuel at the shell near boundry road a D car had some guy pulled up with the bonnet up. I asked what happened he said that the cop just reemed him stopped him for exhaust noise then went over it done him for POD filter, ehuast, screamer pipe and one i havent heard before where the cooler pipe returns through the inner guard did him for that hole. Not sure who he was he had a SAU sticker on the side of it was a tidy lookin white 4 door. This really sucks cause now i will have too be even more careful in mine :thumbsup: Damn kill joys.

lol.. yep that one through the car cut-out is a big no no.. why not just do it right the first time or pay someone to do it.. and as for the pod im sure the cops will let ya off if its secured to the car by two places (not just zippie tied down) a stock exhaust on a skyline doesnt even pass its over by about 2db.. screamer pipe was just askin for trouble tho i'd be curious to find out why he got pulled over in the first place....

feel sorry for the guy tho wasnt his day..

So it you cant have a hole how are you suppose to run a aftermarket intercooler?

i have one, apexi hybrid it just uses the standard piping holes.. but u can get someone to custom up one for ya without the hole. unsure if u can get it complied.?

yeh.. sound probably did it lol.

there are only a few kits that i have found with this return pipe under the cooler to the standard piping, one being the Blitz LM kits, and the other is an arc cooler kit. i have just bought myself the blitz kit, getting installed 2moro. that is the exact reason i bought it in the first place, they are expensive, but much better then having no licence for defects.

yep thats it mines an apexi tho, im curious whats the distance difference between one that goes that way and the way most people have their coolers mounted through a cut hole in the car?...

i love mine it always keeps it cool and ive never had any dramas, but alot of people tell me to get rid of it and buy a bigger one.. most people say that the turn at the bottom of the tank is bad?.. im sure it cant be good but does it really do that much? and also being on the same side as the intake how much does it flow through the core?... all these questions hah.

the engine is pretty much stock with abit of boost its a nice size cooler for the car i love it.

Whats bad is having it to through the reo bar then having some horrid piping going across over the fan then back over the engine to the stock plenum.... that makes baby jesus cry. I cant see why the bend would be a bad thing? same amount of air is getting sucked through. Also having the pipe go across the front would get a bit of cooling on it too I guess.

He said the cop pulled him over for noise, probably heard the screamer pipe.

no

and no

he wasnt even on boost at all the copper followed him for ages, he had made him ages back so was drivin as sedately as possible, the cop got sick of following him without him doing anything wrong so pulled him over for exhaust too loud then made him pop the bonnet...

police like that are scum

Yeah, the ones who are pricks about it certainly are.

no

Yeah, that sounds kinda lame :( But still, i know if i was a copper, it would be imports and modified cars i'd be targetting, because statistically they are more likely to have illegal modifications done to them. It only makes sense, and while it sucks for us, they are doing their job. Some can be pricks about it, but not all are. Like anything, hell Im a Computer tech/network admin, i could be a prick to people at my job too, doesn't mean all IT guys are pricks :D

I don't think i'd be able to be a cop, dealing with the cockheads of society every day would be the worst.

I know if someone stole my skyline, the cops be the first people i'd be telling about it :S

all the things that cop got him for sound legit.

so what's the big deal?

he took the risk by doing "illegal" mods (as stupid a law as we might think they are), and he got done for them.

why are people complaining about the cop?

as for the return flow coolers.

ARC, BLITZ, APEXI, and now COOLING PRO (from Just Jap and probably other places) make this.

and for the person saying it uses extra pipe, you're wrong.

the usual over the radiator, through the reo and look back around method uses the same or more piping than the return flow ones.

The cooling pro kits are about $500 I think.

towards the bottom

Hey gtst i wasnt sayin you actually use more pipe but per 90 degree bend it equates too an extra 1 meter of straight pipe it would have too flow through if it was say just going in a straight line so in turn the 180deg bend coolers might use the same amount of pipe as the other way but it has too travel through an extra length of 2 meters of pipe. If that makes sence lol i confused myself :D

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
