Moodles2 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 GTRs have holes in the chassis done at the factory, non-GTR don't have these and you pretty much make your car un-insurable when you cut these holes in the chassis yourself.

This. You'd have to get it engineered, which would involve reinforcing around the holes. So even if you got the intercooler for free, it would still be very expensive.

Moodles2 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 What I meant were the holes in the chassis for the intercooler piping Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407954-r32-gtr-intercooler-on-r32-gts-t/#findComment-6506629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStabby Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 bet plenty of ppl do it anyway tho! Sure. Everyone's free to decide how they behave, but its better if the decision is made when the consequences are understood.

Depends if you consider paying the insurance company for cover while not meeting their terms and conditions "insured" or not.

Yes i know you mean putting holes in the chasis, and more often then not- hacking into the reo im saying 95% of skyline owners would do this, Yet still pay full comp insurance each year thinking there covered. Hence my argument in another thread about CF bonnets and other aftermarket upgrades, You would find that most people on here pay full comp, But yet in the event you need to claim the insurance company has every right not to Edited August 28, 2012 by sydking Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407954-r32-gtr-intercooler-on-r32-gts-t/#findComment-6506710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomnomv8 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just do it mate, engineered or not if their out to get you they will get you. And screw this whole "void insurance" business, I can bet my bottom dollar there isnt a car on this forum with over 260kw that is 100% legal in every sense. Insurance will not refuse to pay you because you because of a certain modification unless it contributed to the accident and even then you have to be at fault for this to occur. Just be sensible about it and you will be ok Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407954-r32-gtr-intercooler-on-r32-gts-t/#findComment-6506723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Ever tried to clear a defect with a hole in the chassis though? In this day and age, the shithole parts of Aust that you guys live in, I wouldn't be too eager to make my car any more defectable than it needed to be.

WMDC35 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 always pay to check the regulations where you are, i'm over 260 and fully legal as it sits, i know my insurance will still do the loop hole Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407954-r32-gtr-intercooler-on-r32-gts-t/#findComment-6506733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrStabby Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ok - lets summarise for OP. Sell the GTR cooler and buy a kit that bolts in without having to hack the body. Of course, you can still be defected, but its an ok compromise for most people.

In this day and age, the shithole parts of Aust that you guys live in, I wouldn't be too eager to make my car any more defectable than it needed to be. I agree with this and it is an uphill sh*t fight, it helps to know people in the right places that can make things "easier" though always pay to check the regulations where you are, i'm over 260 and fully legal as it sits, i know my insurance will still do the loop hole Fully legal? Unless your making that power on a standard computer and standard boost pressure without a boost controller or adjustable tee of some sort then technically no it's not. I am a big advocate of trying to keep things as legal and standard looking as possible but in this day and age where you can get defected for no water in the washer bottle it's a battle you won't win Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/407954-r32-gtr-intercooler-on-r32-gts-t/#findComment-6506784 Share on other sites More sharing options...
