R32 Intercooler Install

[nj1]

I have been trying to install a PWR Intercooler on the skyline, the guy I brought it off said it was custom cooler set up....I think it was custom to another car not a skyline.

Anyway my first mock set up to see how it would look

Then I built a custom bracket that would mount to the existing centre bracket....I wanter the cooler to be perpendicular to the oncoming airflow rather than at an angle.

The setup fits in behind the reinforcement bar at the front

Then I attached the bracket and put the bumper back on and that's where the problems start

My only option is to completely hack the front bumper bar ? It looks like the piping will come out and into the vents in the bumper bar. This whole set up is obviously going to attract a lot of unwanted attention....I am not even sure if it will look good either do I keep going or scrap the whole idea and go way smaller cooler and angle it to the front bumper bar?

Thanks for the advice

I just use 5mm alloy strips, no need for RHS unless it's a stripped out track car.

On R32 GTR's the bottom sits in closer to the engine side and the front leans out further to the bar, it does not sit straight up and level, works just fine.
