G'day guys,

Well, it's finally in and it fits... JUST.

Big thanks to PRANK and Doctor (Doctor for buying it the first time, Prank for buying it the second time and then selling it to me..) :)

It measures 300x700x76 core size, and god know what it is with the end tanks, but it fills the front bar very nicly.

Pipe work mets up with the factory ones in the lefthand inner gaurd.

Driving it today with about 37 degrees temps, it felt like I was driving on a cold crisp night. :cool:

One thing is though, I think I've got a leak in the pipework somewhere, on boost there is a slight high pitched squeeling that sounds the same as when a mate had a leak in his pipework - and no, it wasn't there before the cooler when it so it's not my tubo (already checked that out !!! ).

Next is the ECU then onto the dyno to wind the boost up and see what she'll do :):D

:uh-huh:

OH, on another note.

Yesterday when I got it plumbed up, I took my CAI partition out to make it easier for them.

Drove it around for a while without it in, and my god what a difference !!!

For those guys running a POD without a CAI partition your mad..... Make one up as soon as you can.

The difference on a hot day is amazing, it was so sluggish off the lights it was increadible..

OK, I'll stop crapping on now.

looks extremly fat jay :cool: glad to see you getting there with your car. so how many gearb boots and nhand brake boots for a bigger turbo :)

thanks for the comment on the cai I have mine an I wondered if itwas woortht eh effort I"ll seal it up better for the drags tomorrow

steve

Thanks Steve,

LOL - I don't think I'll go as far as a new turbo, got heaps of stuff to do around the house now, so sadly the Skyline will have to take 2nd place.

But I'm still on the look out for a new ECU, I'm going to go a R32 GTS-t ECU re-tuned (and a chip added for the VCT) for a R33.

Good luck with the drag's tomorrow. I saw the tyres you've got :eek1: :eek1: Those things are sure to bring your 60' time down.

I reackon you'll break the 13's with a good launch.

it looks like a GTR style bar...but theres sutmhing about it that looks way cooler heheh

whered u get it from neways?

mc

:shake:

Yepp, it's a GTR copy of some sort. I think it's a V Spec copy actually - I think......

The car already had it on when I bought it which was a bonus. I think it really set's the car off. :cool:

I agree, that front bar and the cooler looked wicked - job well done.

I dyno'd my car yesterday

Specs:

'95 GTS-T

Cat Back 3" Exhaust

HKS Air Filter

FMIC

2 Stage boost controller

First time i've ever had it done (only had the car 9wks)

7psi = 169 rwkw

12psi = 192 rwkw

Not bad for a first run , I was extremely impressed.

All i need now is a CAI, Side windors Tinted and my driver side window fixed and i think i'll just throw fuel in her for the next 3-4mths.

Cold Air Induction box i believe

Its like a partition just for your air filter to get cooler air instead of the heat from the engine.

Not sure on performance increases but im sure it makes the engine breathe alittle easier.

:)

Great work man, good to see some one use it becuae there was no way I was fitting that bloody huge cooler in the nose of my car.

My cooler has been in the nose of mine for about 2 months and I still havent hooked it up. Almost finished though thank god.

Yeah thanks Doc.

I swear this cooler was made for my car. The fit is just amazing. If we ever meet up I'll have to show you :)

Make sure you check out my thread in the ACT section about Dodgy workshops though !!! I wasn't really happy about the piping that they did for it.

LOL - yeah, the cooler was in for about a week or two before it was plumbed up. My mates called me 'The Rice Master' for having the cooler mounted but not plumbed up.... LMAO.....

Now it's all good - It's not rice anymore..

Yepp, that's it.

It won't give you more HP, but it takes away that sluggish feel after you've been sitting at the lights for a while.

If you make one, make sure it's sealed from the hot air from the engine bay, it's no good if it's not sealed - it's all about stopping the pod from sucking in hot air from the engine bay.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
