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.

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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
