Piping kit arrived in good condition and I installed it on friday the day I got it. I'm not sure but the kit may seem like it is more suited to R33 maybe? I had to drill out the mounting brackets to pull the intercooler in further so that the front reinforcement bumper would fit over, sits a bit lower than i expected over the thermo fan and a bit close to the top radiator hose. Also something that I realised with these kits is that they seem to pick up a bit of heat through there trip to the intake piping so i think they would benefit greatly from heat wrapping.

Just a bit of constructive critism. If anyone has any question in installing kits onto an R32 feel free to ask.

Cheers,

Hey mate, I'm interested in the full kit for my R33.

Just making sure, is it $530 delivered, even to Perth?

Also, would you be able to send me one of those installation guides so I can have a look? I've pmed you my email.

Just got my car 2 weeks ago and haven't really pulled bits off a car before; would it be recommended that I get a pro to install it for me or is it simple enough for me to give it a go?

yummy I dont have cooler instock.. Just jap has the cooler you need 600 x 300 x 76 mm with 3" inlet/outlet... YEs 350 for the piping delivered anywhere in aust..

Baz: When I installed the kit I lined up everything first before I installed it. Mark it all out, I planned everything before I did the chopping. This way I knew the kit would go together nicely.. But it did take be 10+ hrs to do it. So did you mark everything out first? did ou plan everything, made sure you cut the hole in the right spot so the piping would be as far away from the fan as possible etc... Maybe posting up some pics of your work? :cheers:

yummy: I found it easy to do, others have too.. The hardest thing is the get the hole cut in the right spot.. But I can send you a pic of mine so it can be easier for you... Also I mounted the cooler first so I knew it would be in dead center..

So basically will the kit fit pretty much any intercooler that is 600x300x76?

If so would i be able to reserve one kit? I'll be able to pay you in a couple weeks hopefully when i get the money cos i've blown it on other stuff for my car...

I haven't seen this thread before but i bought a D1 kit off ebay that looks exactly like this one, all in can say is its prob one of the best kits i've seen for the price, my mate has a hybrid kit and this one is probably just as good if not better... very impressed!

have u got a pic of the cooler itself that u sell, because im lookin' at getting a kit for my r33. also before i purchase can someone send instructions to install it to [email protected]

so i can see what is involved, coz i ahve no idea how to fit it into the series 2 front bar . thanks

hey mate, I'll send you the manual via email if I can.. I have been having trouble with my email :)... They manual will should you what to do..

I would recommend getting the cooler from just jap $5 cheaper and it is just the same as mine.. Besides I have no cooler left.. You need the 600 x 300 x 76 with 3" inlet outlet.

I sent you the link to the manual.. did you get that?... The piping is polished aluminum not chromed... I can get coolers but to much hassel as they still around for a long time.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
