Group buy has now closed guys, but we did manage 8 orders all paid up :)

Just waiting on the tracking numbers from HDi but I believe that 6 kits were send out on Friday while we waited for slow-arse banks to process the last 2 payments.

Thanks to you all for the great response (10 orders in 4 weeks is pretty ambitious methinks).

Ps. for those who didn't make it in, I will probably look at another HDi Group Buy towards mid 2011

thanks for the effort. I was initially interested but with my stagea still being complied and not likely to be sitting in my driveway until after the new years break, and the fact that i'm out of the country for the better part of february, it looked like i was going to buy the cooler and have it sit in the garage til after summer was over. later in the year in time for next summer sounds like a pretty good idea to me...

  • 4 weeks later...

I should really check mine.. I think its wired reversed. lol

I was worried about this, so when I crimped the cables I used some plugs so that Id be able to easily swap them over if I got it wrong. Seems to be okay though!

my temp rockets up when i put the AC on. so im thinking its sucking air from the engine instead.

Easy way to view it is to turn the car on when you know the fan is working, turn it off and quickly run to the front to see which way the fan is turning (should be clockwise and you may need to remove your grill to see it properly). If wrong, simply switch the wires :)

spade connectors FTW!

Thanks Uncle cam.. yeh i know how to do it.. i just havnt been bothered.. I should really pull the grill off and check.. but the problem is i have to get it to 108c which is only gonna happen when its hot!

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

Likewise. To the point where it spooled up as I started the car after I installed it & the fmic.. which obviously took several hours and everything was well and truely cold by the end of it (and my AC is always turned on)

mine turns on much earlier when when the AC is on.

its so much quieter than the stock fan, maybe you dont know its on

Yep, mine too :)

Quieter? You sure?? It is certainly more aggressive pushing air through though!!

(I can hardly remember the stock fan coming on though so I probably can't remember the noise lol)

Intercooler kit installed courtesy of Dale on Sunday.

I've noticed a subtle difference and the fan does not seem as noisy at the original.

I'll be keeping an eye in it in the coming weeks.

Each time I returned to the car today I couldn't help but notice the shiny metal through the lower grill. :banana:

Nice, must admit I was a bit jealous once it started going together...

Did we get the fan direction right?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
