So all day today a mate and myself were trying to put a front mount on the car but with no success...

Got the justjap kit that uses stock piping. I can't be bothered trying again, just finished putting car back together, and its an absolute bitch. I wont be trying that again thats for sure.

Anyone know anywhere to get it done professionally and at a reasonable cost?

Thanks.

The top bracket did not match up for one, and two I don't have access to an angle grinder to trim off some of the reo bar as it was getting in the way of the end tanks. Managed to fit it but because the top bracket doesnt match 100% the piping doesnt reach far enough to reach engine bay. I'll ring RE customs tommorrow and try and work something out.

Thanks.

I'd take a six pack!

I just got a GTR fm intercooler for my R32 GTSt +piping for $250...going to attempt it this weekend. I think it will be a good size...not too huge to cause a bunch of lag. My only real concern is clearing the fan with the top pipe. There is a very slight indentation which I think will help. Also, I haven't taken off my bumper...but I hope it clears the piping because it's an original veilside...don't really want to chop it up. I do have some that are 3 feet long. The only other concern I have is if I got the proper brackets to mount the IC. I'm hoping I don't have to do much fabricating because I live in an apartment and don't have a ton of tools.Worse case I can use a bunch of industrial strength zapstraps...lol...just kidding...sort of...

I don't have an angle grinder also...I do have some good quality whole saws tho so they shouldn't dull when cutting the metal. I also have a dremel...might be slow but that would work too.

I plan on doing a picture tutorial because I haven't been able to find one myself for the R32 GTS-t. I lack some of the tools, but it will give people the proper idea then. I'm just waiting for my aluminum tar tape which I will be putting around the top pipe for heat shielding. I figure the bottom and left side pipes will be fine...also may wrap the pipe which goes across the engine just for shits and giggles. More uniform look. :worship:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
