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?

hey jonboy,

it was a rb20det and now it has a rb25det the guy the did the cooler has heps of lil pipes and heps of joiners i want to make it look neater!!

all i can see is one hole inbetween the airbox and the carbon canister ( if that wat it is) then 'he made another hole infront of the airbox' bout the same size bit it 1/3 blocks the intake of the airbox??

r32 bumpers are a piece of cake takes 5 mins or less to pull one off. a few of those plastic screw clips up top then a screw at the very rear on either side where it meets up with the front guard. also a couple of little screws on the underneath at the front corners thats it from memory. sean'o can probably confirm/ this.

ryan im having a hard time getting a picture in my head of what you mean, post a photo or something? you'll find you free up a lot of space in that area when you ditch the factory airbox and put a pod filter or something there. when you say "the guy who did the cooler" what do u mean.. did he install an aftermarket?

hey jon,

i did have a pod filter on but then i put the airbox back in, as i was tolf 1 intake mod at a time so i ditiched the pod to keep the cooler!

and yeh i do had an aftermarket i was installed as a return flow but 'its not a return flow' so there are heaps of bends, and joiners all the way to the intake pipe that crosses the coil pack valley.

im after a close pic of where the factory pipes meet up with the factory cooler ( or a return flow fmic)!

i hope this helps a lil more

cheers anyway

hey mate,

Yep, Jonboy is right on the money, the bumper is quite easy to remove. Just remember is should very easily come off, if you need to force it you've probably missed a screw (remember to get the ones under the indicators :D)

Here is a pic from the manual...

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
