Here we go, I knew i had some pics somewhere. I put one on my first R, Which has now been blown up by some moron :evil: .

The full kit that i got

Pipe run

The finished product 8)

A bit of chopping away at the bodywork needed to be done, but nothing serious. Hope this helps a little.

still at a bit of a loss with this, does anyone have there old fitting instructions, or go into a little more detail what requires cutting away and where the pipework sits? espeacially Sweeny as he seems to know his stuff!

I wouldn't say that mate, i know next to nothing , just fitted one of these kits lol.

TBH mate, i just took the bumper off and offered the pipework up to where i thought it should run through and then cut away at the bodywork with a angle grinder :shock: , not much tho it just needed slight alterations :lol: . I then just mounted the intercooler, and fed the pipework thru the holes and connected the hoses and clamps.

IIRC i mounted the 'T' bracket on the bonnet catch bracket somewhere to secure it at the top and used the other little 'L' brackets to secure it at the bottom. I also cut my bumper out and cut the bumper bracket thingy.

Its not actually that hard once you get the bumper off, then you start to see where the piperun goes.

 

[neil240z]

to be honest bud, the bumper has been off for 2 weeks and super R boys andy and pete are scatching there heads at this, if im missing pipe work its max one piece but finding the pipe run seems to be the problem, does the rad need moving?

Will be a happy bunny once this headache is out off the way.

cheers
