The horn bracket in which the top bit of the cooler bolts to isn't directly in the centre of the car but slightly more to the driver's side and because of this, I actually bolted the bottom two brackets first.

One lines up with the bottom AC Fan bracket, and the other lines up with a spare hole (if I remember correctly). This way, the cooler will sit in the centre.

To then support the top bracket of the cooler, I cable-tied it to the hole in which I was going to bolt it to with the use of 5-7 cable-ties.

Dodgy.... BUT effective :P

This, believe it or not, holds the cooler very steady for the time being until I get a new bracket to support.

lol so its not a direct replacement for a skyline lol..... thats deceptive isn't it???? buying it because just jap says theres no hassel installing it..... i hardly call cable ties a direct replacement lol.... things we have to do for more powrer

Lol, you could say that :)

BUT

Then again, we could have also paid an arm and bought an ARC stealth cooler..

Pay peanuts, get monkeys... as most will say. :)

true,,,,, i agree,,,,, but seeing as the arc one is only $100 more expensive and having bought one i still feel riped off lol,,,,, guess you learn as you go.... and i wouldn't have winged if it was $400 which i recon something like this is actually worth.... but as i said earlier, aslong as it works and does the job

hey again Tom

just to clarify. where did you see the ARC version of this for only $100 more?

cause the only one ive found is off Nengun and its $1500. click HERE to see.

and could you post some pics of the cooler? like pics of the things your not happy with?

I was going to go for one of these too, but for some reason, it costs more to ship something from Australia to NZ than it does from Japan, and with exchange rates it was going to come close to 1K, so i grew a sac and bought a Blitz LM too.

AMAZING cooler. so simple to install and set up.

Im pretty sure there was a thread on here with pics of how the cooler fitted and the brackets that needed to be made for the top.

Im curious to know what car they designed the "direct fit" cooler on? As i cant recall anyone having that bracket line up? Whats the story?

With the side ones, not sure if its the same with the Stealth, but the Blitz has a nut and a bolt, and you just stick the bolt through a random hole in the chassy rail. Is it the same with the Stealth?

Can see it here...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
