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:

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
