HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY hope your day was not to bad and got the chance to have a few brewski's :rant:

Cheers,

Leigh

I dude at work got a Toyota GT4 and it got a water to air intercooler do any other cars have this seems a bit stupid

Older Liberty's have em, many AM companies sell em. Popular in rota drag circles, and with horsepower dyno queens.

Why you say stupid? They have their place for sure. Can keep intake tracks a lot shorter; improve throttle response etc, then mount the radiators for it where ever you want.

The setup has a buffer too, so you don't get the same level of heat soak, that air->air IC has in stand still traffic.

Happy BirthDay Shell :rant:

Also, memo to leigh, quotes are supposed to go before posts.

i always do it that way in PM's, but not on the forum... dunno why :rant:

thanks leigh & michael :)

I had a fantastic day, much better than last years birthday which sucked.

and yes leigh I've managed a couple of bevvies :)

I was just think that a contain of water sitting on top of the engine is i dont know like a rice cooker , what about when it is full cold do air to air work better

Hey Rick444 I'm with you re gettin out of that workshop .... but I am interested, does the intercooler on a stock 33 make a big difference? I'm not racing, drifting, draging etc - but am interested, is it a worthwhile thing to do?

It doesn't really make a huge difference, but my car feels better after putting it on, more responsive..it's hard to explain...

I would say it's definitely worth it, especially if you're planning to do more mods. :thumbsup:

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY SHELL!!

BTW, it would be nice if crime took a day off. Imagine if you could leave your car unlocked and go shopping and come back to an untainted car: nothing stolen and no scratches/damage.

Ha Ha as if that could ever happen.

Put the crack pipe down :P

Magine a box welded around a normal air->air IC, and then water pumped through that box, through and around the fins, and then to a radiator(s) [ Separate to the engine radiator clearly]

Your just replacing the air that was moving through the air->air cooler fins, absorbing heat, with water... which then releases its heat to the air, when it gets to the little radiators

haha there was no intension of that leigh, which is lucky cause shes pretty much a grandma :domokun:

pretty weird, only 3 movies ive been keen to see recently (300, spiderman 3 and 28 weeks later) are all ones youve posted about skylvia. Do they tell you anything about the main characters from the first one in the new one (james and selena?)

Edited by Baconer

havent seen spiderman 3... i heard its a tad dissapointing...

Nah nothing about the original 2, but it starts at the 28 days later timeline, then shows how it progressed through to 28 weeks later. much better than the 1st IMO. the 1st one was still good tho

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
