hi guys i recently got a just jap stealth intercooler for my r34 gtt with the nismo aero body kit, i got the intercooler on ok but am having a real hard time getn the front bit of the chassis back on infront of it.... it seems no matter wat i try it is about a cm or 2 from fitting back neatly wether i try mounting the intercooler higher like on the same bolt as the release lever for the bonnet or lower with a bracket and to the side like jase-r34 did... (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Jj...lth+intercooler)

in the picture wat the red arrow is pointing to the front of the fan stops me fron having the fmic back any further and the yellow line is the part of teh chassis that i cant get back on only just because the intercooler doesnt seem to fit in that gap... so i cant get the holes lined up to put all the bolts back in...

any1 got suggestions or have this happen to them?

thanx

i was hoping i woudlnt have to cut it but i guess it aint that bad... its a bit anoyn but i thought they were ment to b bolt on kit basically lol

yeah, i had to cut a little, i rang and asked if i had to cut anything when purchasing, and they said no :)

only way to not cut would to be to remove the thermo or put a rather thin one on

i got the same intercooler and got the guys at eas performance to fit it for me and the only cutting that was done was the plastic bits on the front of the standard r34 front bar and that was it. i can see mine sits up against the reo bar but no cutting or trimming on it at all.

    • If I had "perfect R33 GTR" kinda money I would have bought one of the crazy expensive low mileage HJA cars, but I am sadly not that wealthy. I already picked this car out of various Skylines for sale locally, most of which were worse in some way. Only a few cars were actually better but also more expensive. In terms of buying a motor locally, I at least have the option to inspect it myself and juding the seller as a person, and used or freshly rebuilt engines that some people sell are actually ok price-wise. I knew the car was going to require work, but shit piled up real fast and I haven't even driven 1000km yet as the turbo started oiling like a bitch within a few weeks after I got the car.   I assume it wasn't actually me who cracked it, though there is no way to know when that crack formed and if the previous owner even knew it was there. Buying another 05U Block can be a gamble, yeah, but the cheapest PRP cast block is like twice or more money-wise, and billet is 3 or 3 times as much. For now I am most likely just keeping the current engine, as a rebuild or engine swap isn't happening right now. But I am seriously considering buying a second engine and selling mine in return. Might be a sweet deal at the end.
    • Hi all. I need some help buying the correct size banjo bolts for my 2860 turbos. Because whoever installed them tore up the original part, I ordered new ones of this kind, because I just figured these were the most leak-resistant option as I already had trouble with a shitty braided line. I need to know the thread size of the smaller left hole, that is the turbo oil feed connection. I found out so far that the turbo oil inlet apparently has a 7/16"-24 thread, but I cannot find any listing or description of the thread size on this line. I do not have the original bolts. I tried using the bolts that were in the turbos (the ones that were mounted with the shitty braided line) but they sit very loosely so they can't be the right thread. Means either these bolts are the wrong ones (how do they fit the turbo then? no clue) or the wraparound-lines have a different thread than the turbo oil feed itself. Help is appreciated, asking Nissan directly is obviously not going to work.
    • EDIT: PSA to whoever stumbles upon this thread. It is in fact a crack in the block that caused this concern. Just letting you know. In my case, a few cm long hairline crack going horizontally above the turbo oil feed. Classic RB shit I guess
    • Might as well pop in some cams, head gasket, head studs, and a flex sensor. Full send.
