havn't started it yet. i am missing one of those silicon joints for the coldside. It was one peice, but i cut it in half to gain the 1.5'' i needed for it to reach the intercooler. give me a sec and i will post the ebay auction number.

[blues14]

here is the address for the auction.....ends 10 hours from now!! but he lists these things all the time.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW

Don't let the description fool you. The picture says it's for Gt-r, but its not. It's for rb20 and rb25 models.

here's a pic of the auction. like i said, the descriptions is wrong as well as how they have it set up, but it does bolt up fairly easy. well worth 250 bucks.

lol i was the same whay, the nissan oem ic pipe couplers are gods!!!!!!!!

yah, I started it up yesterday, It ran good. The car actually has a different tone to it. I didnt drive it hard at all, but it is definately a little laggier. not too tough though, it only took me around 8 hours with lots of breaks. i will eventually clean up the hotside, but it works for now. I did notice a clearance issue with the i/c pipe up top and the hood, so i will look at that too, but with a little force, i can shut the hood, so its not that bad. Next step is cutting my bumper so it clears the Pipes/I/C. i think it's the pipe ends more than the intercooler. 250 bucks.....well spent!

Finally, done!! I ordered a 12'' hose from our sponsor Stylin' Motorsports, who by the way have pretty good prices, and received the hose on friday after ordering it on sunday. got everything hooked up, and cut the bumper with a dremel with the fiberglass reinforced blade. and here it is. 260 for the kit, 40 for the dremel, and 32 bucks for the additional silicone i/c hose. not too bad.
