post-20653-1188121213_thumb.jpg Here's my install,

Just a R34 GTT Monsta kit, with some stuffing around with the passangers side piping (had to use the old intercooler to intake pipe with about 1.5" & the big 90 degree bend off the intercooler with the insulation stripped off. You've got to cut a hole under the battery tray, but if you measure & cut it carefully it looks factory. Plus i had to trip the reo bar about 3/4" at the bottom to clear the end tanks as the core is too thick & hits the AT cooler (Series 2)

I don't need an interccooler that can handle 10,000,000hp, I'm only after around 300Kw so I didn't see the point of spending my hard earned cash on something i just won't use. So after weighing it all up, you just can't go wrong for $300 delivered!

I've yet to see a cooler with this layout, so no, I can't say I have.

I do know that these style intercoolers exist (albeit rare), but I personally haven't seen it applied to a Stagea yet, nor seen one that may suit the job.

Has anyone else fitted a cooler with both ends on the same side of the cooler? seems alot easier to run piping straight up rather than up and across from the other side from what i can gather

pwr on the goldcoast make a i/c with inlet & outlet on the same side, it costs approx $800 without piping & seems a bit heavy (weight wise)

i have just fitted a greedy type m to my s1(hole under battery etc etc,)

Just about to attempt an R33 ARC intercooler fit to a S2, same side return, expecting a tight fit where the 2 pipes pass into the stock intercooler area, will post pics if a success. Have heard its an easy job with S1s, but I feel the S2 bumper is more restrictive with space.

Lee, sorry for going OT but I like your eyelids for your car, where did you get them? And why do you have mesh over your licence plate?

I'm thinking for simplicity sake, a R34GTT SMIC and water spray kit is going to be the way to go for our Stag. I can't imagine my wife letting cut up the front bar of HER Stag!!!

Cheers, Greg.

I also noticed the mesh... looks freaken weird... what on earth is it for? My only guess would be to prevent red light cameras getting a good shot if it is shooting from an angle.

I'm certain there are laws against objects obstructing the plates, I'd be careful if I was you as you might end up copping a fine for that instead.

lol :laughing-smiley-014: ........ i thought the mesh would get a few comments. after my wife has just purchased personalised plates i decided that i no longer liked my shitty standard ones. i'm definitely going the thinner personalised plates myself. ps. the mesh was just for the photo.

leigh

I just got a FPV Typhoon cooler I'm hoping to run the piping back through the smic holes..... when my car gets here. It's not huge, core measures 175h x 370w x 55d. I'm never gonna be chasing over 200rwkw though, and it cost me bit over $100.... piping shouldn't cost too much to get made up should it? post-29840-1190763699_thumb.jpg

looks good chook, did you retain the factory piping in the engine bay from the factory cooler? or was this replaced as well.

How much was the kit if you dont mind me asking, I assume it would fit a S1 stagea also..

cheers

nothing was touched in the engine bay, pipes went into the factory rubber hoses. Ive heard from another member who fitted one to a S1, no problems as well. I got mine in the classified section privately, but new cond, for $900, not cheap these days for an IC, but you pay for quality and ease of fitment. ie, rather not spend days getting pipes made up to fit.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
