GMballistic Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Looks really nice Gary, ...not too OTT. One thing I notice is that your windscreen washer bottle has disappeared. Are you going to put that back or have you come up with another solution for washing the windscreen like one of those bags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Lol u've some eagle eye on ya there! Still had the washer bottle to fit when I took the photo on Fri, but everything together now again apart from lights and front bumper...if RT performance would ever get back to me with a postage quote 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Looks good mate! Is that mishimoto power steering bottle? Is it straight forward swap? As got one myself and need to fit it soon as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yeah mate, what I done was remove the 2 standard brackets, filp over the right hand one and use the same hole, then used the left hand one over on the right hand side of the cooler and screwed it into the plastic, good secure good, oh and I should add, I straightened both brackets in a vice to have a flat surface to mount the cooler on to. I can take a few detailed photos for ya if u want or run into head scratching problems!lol Pm sent mudman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Oh wicked! I take it I will need fresh fluid? And it's just the case of putting it in? No need to bleed or anything? Thanks for the advise! :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yeah I used fresh fluid so had to bleed the system, simple enough tho, fill the reservoir and steer left and right little amounts. I found it handier with 2 ppl, one to steer and one to keep topping up, otherwise the air bubbles will splash out the top when the fluid disappears into the outlet pipes. The fluid will look foaming until all air is outa the system and fluid. Then it should settle to its original colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Sorry a bit of confusion on my behalf, I used the left hand one in the right hand hole, then used the right hand one on over to the further right hand side and mounted it with a new screw and hole! If ya get me?lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyt350z Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Ooooo hold on a sec mate, sooo Sorry, I misread ur first post, I thought u meant mishimoto cooler, and not bottle. It's a weapon r bottle. But an absolute c**t to fit because using original holes it would sit a a bit of a slant which wouldn't look good, then with me having the core brace, the original holes wasn't even an option for me. Took me about an hour of head scratching and searching the garage for bits and bobs needed to bring it forward, to keep it level and to also use the Oriental holes. All i'l say on the matter it, if I new the torture, then I prob would just done the same to the original bottle that I had done with my coolant bottle! Sorry for the bad news, but best of luck.lol maybe someone on here has had more success than me with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Haha thanks for the heads up! I got mishimoto bottle...may be (hopefully) it will be a better fit haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
