Front Mount!

[nemz]

i just brought my new cooler 450x300x78 or whatever it is and decided i was going to install it on the weekend. i got a headache looking at it as me and my friends did not know where to start few things were harder then they looked, was hoping the cooler would mount strait up to where the front kit mounts up, but the 2 places on the cooler where the bolts mount in sit in more then the kit wholes and i couldnt really see any where to mount, i checked out my friends one his mounting whole is in the middle of his cooler and had it mounted with a triangle bracket, any ideas how i could mount mine its one of tyhe just jap coolers. oh and any idea how much it would be just to get it put in at any shops in sydney? i have the cooler, all piping 2.5inch off my friends old set up off a similar sized cooler that was a tad smalled and thinner, all i need is reducers from the cooler to piping. and brakets to mount the cooler, any suggestions would be much appreciated

have a look on my website in my sig.. you can see some quick pix of how i installed mine.. might help things out in your head.

nice man, seeing how much it too you to do it i might jus consider taking it to a exhaust place and get it fitted any idea on how much i will be looking at?

[nemz]

oh yeh and have you got the new front bar yet? should look sweet

i asked a few exhaust places to mount it only, as im buying aluminium piping elsewhere, and the quotes were around the 60-80 mark.

nemz: I could probably do it, but I don't really like installing things on somebody's car incase I get blamed if something goes wrong People also have different standards as to what they expect and like things perfect.. Whereas my own car I don't have that problem

If you can find a proper workshop to do it for $100, I'd get them to do it.

Haven't got a front bar yet.. as the $400-500 to get it fitted, painted, etc I could use on performance mods right now .. With my car, I am kind of waiting until the whole car needs a respray, and get it all done (full kit, etc) in hopefully 12 months or so.

if u were in sydney we would make a day of it but yeh too far, im gonna get some brackets and tackle it with one of ma friends and one of my sau buddies hehe!!! i might take some pics and see how we go

oh and the other night some cop pulled up my bro and was picking on my exhaust!! 3 inch kakimoto with a resonator and i have a pretty std cat in der and hes saying its illegal? its quite as hell with a resonator and a muffler

ye thats the problem with front mounts, kits need to be modded to suit car

[nemz]

yeh my mate keeps on insisting to do it at home, heheh see how it goes!!

ive gotten the fmic mounted into the front, took me my brother and a mate about 40 mins including cutting the front bar, wasnt to hard after buying some brakets from a hardware place, and making it fit , now all i need to do is cut a hole in the sidewall under the battery to fit my piping through, any suggestions on how i should go about this?

im lucky cause my mate had almost an identicle sized cooler in his r32 400x250x65 with 2.5 piping or some shit and brought a whole new kit so i pinched his piping for my new 450x300x75 cooler

got it all installed, had a little bit of fun with the piping, took all up about 4 hours, also installed a boost guage, and done some repair on my front kit which was damaged a while back on the way down from brisbane when i hit a kangaroo, was snapped in 3/4 spots and done an oil/filter change in 1 weekend!!, and tonight car started pinging after change and boost guage was installed, scared the f**k out of me, was loosing power, seems it didnt have enough oil! but when i checked it when i first put it in it was fine weird!
