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

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
