this is a small one where you can just see the intercooler.... bar has been fixed by now!

How low is your cooler mounted Matt??? We did mine the other week and mines up alot higher then that, with just the bumper on you can't see it hanging out down below...

looks good! but does it work well? eg: cooler intake charge or lag? have you taken it down the strip or on the rollers to see any advantage? of course there will be some but how much?!! and when will some one fit a VH45 to a local r30!! me cant afford it yet.

Yeah, it runs a little warm, never gets much over 3/4 on the temp guage, but it always cools well at idle/low throttle driving, and it never over-heats. But yes, water temp runs a little higher with intercooler where it is, but cooler inlet temps would compensate for this a bit, no?

machg

just a quick question, how is the running temp with the cooler right in front of the radiator like that?

It really could be better,although i do some circuit/track days,it has never overheated.but im thinking of going to the smaller size(so cheap now) just to allow that bit more air through.The air intake temps are awesome though.At 1.3bar ive never seen temps above 35 on a 30 degree day.

VH45 is ILLEGAL IN NSW fitted to any R30.

For engine capacity modifications, maximum allowable capacity is calculated on the vehicles body weight.

The MR30 Hatch is factory specified at 1250kg and for normally aspirated this has a multiplier of 3 = 3750, and turbo x 2.5 = 3125.

An RB30 2.0mm o/size = 3102, my RB hybrid is 1.0 o/size @ 3032.

Therefore a VH45 cannot be registered in this state and any other as I am aware, but I may be wrong.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
