Deception Bay Defection

[Nissan-r33]

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 Damn kill joys.

Do you mean on the right hand side cutting through the reo bar? nice and illegal. Like 90% of people have illegal intercooler set ups I'd guess.

[Nissan-r33]

Yeah in the right hand side how ya have too cut the hole through the inner guard for most kits too get the pipe back into the engine bay. Thats what i thought.

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?

[Nissan-r33]

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

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.

[ToMMaH]

Yeap. I have the ARC one. Bloody good things they are.

See how the right hand side goes back underneath?

[MR33SOM]

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.

[ToMMaH]

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.

[Nissan-r33]

And 90degree bend works out too another meter worth of pipe it has too travel through, intake is same as exhaust the less bends the better.

I was up Deception bay today at around 1pm in the GTR. Didn't see the police anywhere though.

[R33_Rob]

police like that are scum

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...

[Sagiedaks]

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

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

[Gts-t]

Can someone bring up the legislation where it says about cutting these holes?

As far as im aware if the hole is not thru the chassis rail then it is fine to cut.

[TTT]

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.

[Gts-t]

So you convert your motor to rb26 which you are allowed to do

How are u going to run the piping without cutting a hole?

Id say the law is being misinterpreted

[Nissan-r33]

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
