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.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
