Im still having alittle bit of problem mountig my stock s13 smic on my s13 240sx. I read every one saying it is a direct bolt in, but for some reason that is not the case for my car. 1 there is nothing to bolt the intercooler on the chasie side, do I have to make brackets? On the fender side, is the intercooler suppost to be touching/ resting on the bottom of teh fender? for some reason it is doing this on my car. On the stock bracket that used to hold the stock air box, do i mount the top hole on the intercooler to the bottom hole on the bracket, or do i align the intercooler with this bracket? also is the intercooler piping suppost to sit under the sheet metal, or above the sheet metal? my cold pipe is also not lining up with the trottle body when i tried to do a test fit, it seems like everything needs to move to the right like 2 inches. And I cut a huge hole, about 2 inches bigger than the outline one, and my piping is barely clearing. and there is no possible way for me to get a recirculation tube threw teh sheet metal. Some thing that is suppost to be so easy is getting really frusterating . please help

It bolts right on to two little nuts that are welded onto the chassis in the inner bay area, past the airbox towards the headlight.

S13 intercooler had no problems fitting my S14. Don't see why you would have issues.
