if you install the cooler on a backward angle, such as /, you should be fine

cheers mate

yeah freddy, dont wanna stuff around with engineer's and all that shit, keep it legal to a sense. wanna get it done before i do, this way they wont be looking for a dodgy botch job under the battery :laugh:

i cut my reo bar(abolut an inch) and bumper(around the pipes) and it went straight in. the only issue i had is that it doesnt sit straight because of the thermofan.

The three brackets on the core, is it pretty self explanatory where they get mounted?

I made the service of my car at status tunning and the block(sorry I'm bad with names)recomend me to put a blitz turn flow...uses the same pipping ,should fit stright and you get 2 /3 degrees less than using the pipping on top of the engine so I'm thinking about saving some $ to get it done...(anyway I'm sorry you want to start it all again) Hope we could do like in japan ,they put all the upgrades at plain sight...

Meh stuff the cops.. im gonna go a Greddy LS intercooler setup on my car when i replace my dinted and scuffed cooler...

your property insurance, TAC insurance, plus a defect which costs a shitload to clear(welding and engineering) should all be considered...

being a P plater you shouldnt ask for trouble :geek:

My car passed a compliance, rwc and was checked over by Vicroads for registration and had no hassles with the front mount thats on it now.. Should have any dramas changeing it to the Greddy cooler setup as it uses similar pipeing as i have now..

ask me tomorrow night, fitting mine then(justjap)

guessing you already cut your tray?

tray ? batt tray ? yeah got one installed already, going to a stealth.

if you mean Tray that goes along the bottom of the bumper, no i havent cut that,

in freddy's pic you should see the minor slits to make the pipes fit nice

This is a pic of a turn flow blitz fmic(aka stealth because uses same pipping as standard one)

blitzfmic.jpg

one I like the way the return was made,hiding behind the ic

fmic2.jpg

and one that i found in a japanese page that uses a normal cross flow fmic ,but with the return done with the pipping(running behind the radiator)

just so you know, in qld its completely illegal to cut or modify the metal reinforcement for your bumper. so in the event of an accident you will have no insurance and they might even cancel your rego for being unroadworthy. the rules are very clear about this, as its part of the crumple zone. although you and i know its prob not gonna make a difference they dont see it that way.

ring the guys at the qld trans modifications desk, they tell ya all sorts of helpful stuff. i asked them about this about 4 yrs ago and its saved alot of hassles, cos qld transport have pulled over my car and thoroughly gone over it and i drove away without a single ticket or defect :D

but more on topic, instead of using a return flow cooler,

post-41608-1234180174_thumb.jpg

why not use a double pass cooler??

post-41608-1234180330_thumb.jpg

it doesnt need to be this brand, but the style is what i mean. surely double pass would be more compact and offer better cooling. also it would match up with stock pipework.

geez cut the shit out of the metal front bar ...

hm..... double pass cool, havent yet found one, plus im a perfectionist, thats why i got the FMIC i have, so the front looks even.

might be a long process.

the one with the pipe going behind the radiator in freddy's post. would that affect turbo response being such a long return pipe ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
