Hi all, have had a quick search but with little to no luck.

I'm just after the diameter of the inlet and outlet of the cooler core so I can grab some more silicone joiners before I head off and grab some more tomorrow.

Cheers, Steve.

Pretty confident it's 80mm not 3 inch, I know the engine end is 80mm. Japan don't use imperial at all afaik.

3 inch will stretch over 80mm but it's a pain in the arse. Better to just get the correct size.

Silicone will help it slip off too. I want to use Tarzan grip on mine to stop it leaking at 32+

80mm is easy enough to get these days.

Use hair spray. It wont go anywhere

Ive also stretched 3" onto the intercooler, but sounds right that it would be a typical jap 80mm (3 1/4")

Cos I'm picky, the Japanese do use bsp so yu r rong. Take that .

Why change what works, if it wasn't for the bloody US it would probably be a world pipe standard.

Pretty sure they had laws against using imperial, as did Australia.

Um.....BSP is Imperial. The very definition of Imperial. It's just different Imperial to the NPT Imperial. As long as we're using "Imperial" to mean "based on units which are based on the length of some old codger's thumb".

BSP has become metricised, but the sizes are still exactly the same old inch bullshit they always were.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
