Whoops you said no holes... Plazmaman does them too, but super Exxy.

I suggest Blitz kit, the Cooling Pro kits don't fit too well. Everyone has end up making brackets. On my friend's car, we opted to fitting it higher up which needed the foglight to be shaven.

Pay the difference and go the Blitz kit new.

you need to cut holes with that one?

Also its eBay, some people have had no trouble and some people have. No eBay item seems to be the same even if you end up with using the same brand as someone else's that doesn't guarantee it will work the same as theirs.

Just get a cooling pro kit... done.

If you want no holes, no headache, great fitment, no fking about, no custom brackets, and shit that lines up get:

Bolts up, the cooling pro one requires you to swear at it, make some custom shit and guess where everything goes because there's no manual.

Don't worry about pipework length. It's a myth. Let's look at a 3m length of 75mm pipe. Has volume 0.0044m3. That contains 5.5 grams of air at sea level and 40°C.

When your turbo is coming on boost it will be flowing at least 5000 grams/minute, which is 83 grams/sec. I'm pretty sure that you can see a pressure rise in that length of pipe inside 100ms and probably have full pressure no later than 200ms after the turbo is capable of supporting it. That's not lag. You can barely measure that sort of delay compared to how long it takes the turbo itself to actually spool up.

If you were able to shorten the pipework by a metre (or worse, it had to be 1m longer), the change in the pneumatic delay would be barely detectable against the mechanical lag.

So for easy fitment and no head f**ks buy a blitz kit.

Has any one do a thread on best flow and shorest piping ?

not really, but if you want shortest piping, etc..

  • GReddy Plenum
  • Custom piping
  • GT-R Core

But not really worth it, if you're just chasing under 300kW or so... Look at Hypergear, he is getting ~340+kW with standard plenum, and with a ling long FMIC

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
