Cooling Pro delta fin core yo!

:D

Took a whole afternoon to do it. Purchased the mandrel bends from Aussie Discount Mufflers and cut and welded it all up myself. Total of $69 in materials and a wee bit of my time.

Needed a new cooler to match the new bar. End result = one happy stag owner :P

Pulling it all apart this weekend to paint the piping. No leaks ... happy I can still weld.

Looks nice, but perhaps you should move the number plate to allow all that air to pass through to cool the fins?

Yeah and get the fully sic lets go skidding s13 look. thumbs down. Dont think the number plate is actually going to make a massive difference to roo's airflow.

Looks good ruby. Think its time we organised another cruise. adam and I were in the shed till 2am this morning doing the turbos on his 260. Im so glad i have a 25 now lol , so much more space to platy with!

The plate looks good imo where it is now ... and its some 130mm from the mesh and 150mm from the cooler, so its not interrupting the flow. And in any case, its far more flow than the last cooler :P

Chris, yeah another stagea cruise would be awesome. I've got the SAU SA meeting thing this weekend and Kadina after that. Perhaps an end June cruise, or anywhere in between :huh:

good stuff

yeah mount the number plate like mine with a simple bracket

just got a metal intake pipe kit and a proper fmic pipe kit (battery feed), so getting them installed this thursday at dynotune

along with a oil catch can setup

just awaiting delivery of seat rails to tidy up the fitment of my new racing seat

some people move it to the side, which is what S13/S14/S15 drivers SOMETIMES do.........

Its also what the VL commonwhore and some R31 drivers do, to give that fully hectik "I don't have a fmic ... hell, I don't even have turbo ... but I wanna appear that way" look :dry:

yup see my sig ^^^ was there for around 2yrs

prefer the current position tbh

Tangles, you still got those driving lights? :D

Are they oem items? I traded mine off and regret it now ... looking for replacements. ;)

looks good roo,fills out your viva bar nicely.me and fr33k just spent the last 2 mornings doing my fmic.got it cheap,apparently its a capa performance? cooler,bought it from the dude doing aleks dump pipe the other day.same side inlet and outlet,we couldnt quite get it in the middle of the bar so we just moved the plate over to hide that fact.came out alright i think,seen as we just used piping that was left over for other cars and projects

Looks good Rodney. Keeping it polished like I am? My last fmic was lightly sprayed satin black to keep it discreet. But this time I've gone for the polished look ... and blue mesh :)

Next big mod for me is the manual conversion for the car. Shopping around for GTR gearboxes now.

manual hay roo.... Im tossing up doing it aswell... Will you do it at home yourself?

Yeah. Buy the box and conversion stuff (pedals etc) and do the work myself in my workshop. Then take it to a transmission place and just have them check it all over. :)

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
