R32 Gtr Intercooler On R32 Gts-T ?

[Roy]

My car doesnt do that many kms these days because I don't have far to travel for work. When I am on site it does plenty, like the 400km one way trip to Mulwala etc.

But I still drive the thing most weekends and 3 days of the working week. The last 6 years I have been OS for almost 3.5years of it but my car still has done 60,000kms since moving to Melb in 2004...so factoring in the time OS its still >10,000kms per year.

So you could be right about the number of kms being less than some...but still on the road frequently. And GTSBoy, I dont get it ....you list reasons why its illegal and then say you have the same thing done to your car and never had a trouble with Regency, because its not dodgy? Well, that's the same experience I am echoing, do it right and neatly and I doubt you will have a problem. Hell yours is probably worse than mine as if you look at the drivers side inner guard you can see the pressed stell markings where on a GTR they would be cut from the factory. There is no welds in the skin or ribs that I remember that you cut through, and the whole thing is basically the same between GTSt and GTR. Cutting an additional hole on the passenger side is probably worse as the shell may not have been designed to ever have a cutout there.

No. You did not read. The hole in my car is not in a chassis rail. In the horizontal surface IN FRONT OF THE AIRBOX. I clearly said "in front of the airbox". There are already two holes there for the oem cooler pipes. Extra hole is right behind those, and the cold air intake for the stock airbox has been routed through there into the space where the SMIC was. Looks kosher. Is kosher. The cooler pipes on my car, despite having been remade, look stock and pass through the stock holes. It looks stock. Totally non scary.

And I did not say I have never had any trouble with Regency. The car hasn't been there since it was complied. But it will be going there shortly, and it will pass (or at least, it won't fail because of that hole in the guard. But if I had a hole in the vertical surface on the driver's side, where most bodgies cut a hole for the return pipe on a big FMIC install, then it would certainly not pass.

im just going to cut the whole for it as im decided on making it into a full track car an not regitering it!

d I don't consider the hole in this location a problem and I dont consider the inner guard skin to be the chassis rail.

Will see when I attempt to get my car engineered/registered as a 2 door with turbo setup early next year

That gets you fisted in Adelaide. It's right behind the attachment point of the bumper bar and is a serious (to them) change to the vehicle's crumple zone.

getting back on topic. . . . would the GTR intercooler even fit behind the GTS-t reo without having to trim it?is the reo the same between the two?

[GTSBoy]

The smaller opening of the GTSt bumper is an obstacle to progress when it comes to trying to fit the cooler as it would on a GTR.

They are nufties as that is a std GTR with its cooler pipe and BOV removed. Interesting to know they have a heart on for it

good point there, so to fully benefit to changing to a GTR FMIC you would have to change to a GTR bumper
