I'm stepping out for a few hours but if you let me know what you're after I can take a few pictures for ya when I get back hey dude while your at it im after a visual on the same area while u have your bumper off if you can manage it? im looking at putting a gtr intercooler into my gts-t (r32). a) where are the stock intercooler mounts located exactly? b) are they detachable or are they permanently fixed to the frame in the gtr? if possible i would like to use original gtr intercooler mounts with the gtr cooler, so it is positioned just like a factory one. if you could post a picture of the mounts that would be awesome!

Sean'O Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hey lads, Sorry for getting back to ya so late in the evening, had a very busy weekend. Hopefully these pics will show everything you guys wanted to know In terms of mounting the cooler, from what I could see there are two brackets either side of the cooler which are removable and there is a bolt that connects onto the bottom of the radiator dead center Cheers, Sean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/325496-pic-of-the-stock-cooler-pipes-in-the-engine-bay-of-r32/#findComment-5303141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurdo Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 hey sean'o thanks for that, much appreciated. so it looks like i need that whole black thing that the bottom center screw goes into as well. one more question. what diameter is the piping for the rb26? in the 2wd r32's the piping is 2.5" (63mm) but i found a gtr intercooler and they say the outlets are 80mm (3") which would present another small hurdle for me. are you able to confirm this??

Spurdo Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) ryan, i obtained a pdf of the engine manual and took this screen shot for u. its the same page as the one sean'o posted above but a bit easier to read and make sense of. if you or anyone else wants the manual in pdf just let me know Edited June 20, 2010 by jonboy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/325496-pic-of-the-stock-cooler-pipes-in-the-engine-bay-of-r32/#findComment-5303237 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep correct mate, that's the blow-by piping that returns air coming out of the blow off valves back to the intake of the turbo's, it's called the "recirculation tube" according to the manual. I'll have a squizz at the cooler when I get home from work but I think your logic is right, it's probably around 3" diameter Perhaps some of the other RB26 lads can jump in before I get home and clarify this one Cheers, Sean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/325496-pic-of-the-stock-cooler-pipes-in-the-engine-bay-of-r32/#findComment-5303382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Sean'O! Your FMIC is in need of paint stripping, looks like someone just half ass'd the black spray paint Paint strip it back and get the bare metal going and would looks nice.

The white paint behind the front bar is also um...questionable ha ha, don't think the guy even took the front bar off when it was sprayed...and then he also couldn't be stuffed masking it properly *face palm* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/325496-pic-of-the-stock-cooler-pipes-in-the-engine-bay-of-r32/#findComment-5303569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took the front bar off and stripped the front and sides of the Intercooler and looks nice. BTW your Air Resonator looks detached from the Air Intake... If it is, you might as well take it off to save you some weight (well not that it weights all that much anyway).

Spurdo Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 sorry i should have been more clear i was after a pic of r32 gtst cooler piping, sorry hey this might give you some idea, its how my engine bay looked a few years ago. its obviously missing the factory airbox but that makes the piping a bit more visible anyway. because theres other crap obstructing the view i drew lines along the route of the pipes so u wont mistake them, red is indicating the airflow from turbo to the intercooler and blue for the airflow coming from the intercooler heading towards the intake manifold. is that what your after?

ryan101 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 hey, jonbov thats the one i want, i just don't see how both pipes fit in the one hole?

Spurdo Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 lol they dont go down the same one. there's 2 holes there. one for each pipe, one right beside the other. at the bottom-most part of those pipes that you can see in the picture they run directly down from there straight through two holes and then they bend off to either side of the intercooler directly below. are you converting a non-turbo R32 to turbo or something?
