Has anyone here bought and fitted one of the coolers & piping kits that Just Jap have on special? In specific to a 97 Stagea (obviously rb25det engine).

(see here --->> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...wtopic=77902&hl )

Did you have any problems with piping set up, as in did it bolt up alright and fit the stagea engine bay without any probs??

Seems a great price for a cooler

Or am l just better to get the cooler, and then get a workshop to do custom piping??

thanks

Seriously man, dont cheap out on an intercooler

Try and find yourself a single Blitz or Trust cooler, then mount it yourself and then get custom piping made

The issue with the stagea is the front support bar (behind the grey area of front bar) and that grey area.

If you get a FMIC, you will need to, or at least want to, cut quite a bit of your front bar out to give it more flow. When i do it, i am going to consider mounting my cooler a little lower then what would be normal, and then move my numberplate up (put it to the side or remove it all together) and cut out parts of my front bar.

BTW, there is not TOO much wrong with chinese coolers ... until you want decent flow, so dont expect like, 250awkw with a chinese cooler.

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
