mate i used a ring spanner. note mm but the other one. (im crap with metric and imperial) it was the equivalent to a 22mm well bit bigger because 22mm wouldnt fit. tiny bit of pressure and it popped undone! hope all that makes some kind of sense to ya chap!

dodgy ass shifters and crap...gah

yeah use a spanner. i cut the wire off my old one so you don't have to worry about it, then use the right size spanner. the angled head on the spanner is about the same curve as a standard dump pipe. and is easiest to get to from under the car (believe it or not). i couldn't get to it at any angle from in the engine bay, even with the heat shield removed off the turbo.

Your local snapon dealer can get you one.... they're not really that expensive.

Or get the right size 'crows foot' spanner attachment for you socket set ratchet and extension.

Or heat it up and give it a little tap, then undo it with your fingers.

Or buy a cheap ass tube socket of the right size, then chop a 1/3 off one side.

Or buy two cheap ass sockets, cut the back off one and weld it to the front of the the whole one.

Or ....

im over it

thanks guys yeah ive got a spanner and that to remove it but i had the problem as above, couldnt get to it from the engine bay....ill try and get to it from underneath...?

its not that its hard to remove its just that the spanners i have are too large for the engine bay =/

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
