. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I like it, but whats with that thing sticking out of the right hand side of the front bumper??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nizm0zed Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 that would be an oil cooler. Very 'jdm' scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 No no, on the right hand corner of the bumper. It looks like an arial or something. In the first photo I thought it was something in the background but it keeps showing up in the other photos too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patch Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 In the specifications it says "Front mounted oil cooler with steel braided hoses" why would you not put it behind the spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZG302 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 In the specifications it says "Front mounted oil cooler with steel braided hoses" why would you not put it behind the spoiler. Coz, that won't look fuullyyyy sssiiiiiiiccccckkkkk for all the fan boys, or the owner couldn't be armed mounting It properly and just zip tied it to the front bar until he gets around to mounting it properly.

sydney mike Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 In the specifications it says "Front mounted oil cooler with steel braided hoses" why would you not put it behind the spoiler. It's jap old school racer style, seen on alot of hako's. I like it. To each to their own I guess but I'm not a fan of the rear flares. Bolt-ons look so much better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riceburner Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's all for the look I think, not really my scene but some like it. I think that aerial thingy is similar to what trucks have on the front corners, they allow you to see how close your getting to walls/objects, I guess the seat must be low or he's a short arse Wouldn't it be prone to damage out there, stones and other debris? I thought there was few people on here who liked the tyre stretch scene and it would appeal to guys who like this style. Still looks ok though, kinda admire the craziness of it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't like it. Black airdam and flares make such a difference, makes it pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quandary Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 God I love that Skyline. That Z is a bit lost in translation if it's supposed to have been inspired by the KPGC10. It would look nice if the bumper was removed and the oil cooler mounted centrally in front of the grill. Anyhow, plenty of room inside a Z to fit an oil cooler, unlike those S20 Skylines.

Huw Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Galderdi, The little aerial like object is quite literally a metal/plastic rod with a little led light on the end. The 4WD I often drive in Fukuoka (Japan) has one as well.....I think they are used to assist in knowing where the end of the car is (for low speed/narrow street shuffling). It will be hinged/jointed at the bottom so that it has a bit of play (unlike an aerial). You can see it more clearly if you zoom in on the photo. At least that is the only explanation I could ever come up with, and I drove with one for months (never really used - or bothered to ask what it was for).

luvemfast Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm with Saxon on this one. It needs some definition. Black flares would really break it up and highlight the "Stance" Also, that coolers gay as a hairdressers car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted November 7, 2011 Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2011 I like it, but whats with that thing sticking out of the right hand side of the front bumper??? I think it helps keep the front air damn from flexing at speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvemfast Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think it helps keep the front air damn from flexing at speed? Those are down to the splitter, which I like. I think Greg is talking about the aerial looking thing pointed up, that is a parking aid isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Another victim of not reading HS30-H's fender mirror diagram notes properly too... i hope it wont cost too much to reweld my guards and put them in the right place - i made the same mistake...

NZeder Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think Greg is talking about the aerial looking thing pointed up, that is a parking aid isn't it? That is my guess too. I remember seeing other such devices back in the day - they were little chrome spring steel things that stuck down and out and would make a noise as the spring was moved when touching the curb etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxon Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 a parking aid!? hmmm. The more I look at this car the more I hate it. Worst shade of red. Ugly wheels. The tail light area that is usually black is coloured in. I am biased against Swedish people though ever since a Swedish friend came and crashed at my house for 4 months then tried to feel up my girlfriend. Stupid Swedish people.

nizm0zed Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 but you cant hate everything swedish because of one bloke.... Think of all the good stuff they have given the world, like Volvo and Ikea..... but they did give us Absolut Vodka, Saab aerospace products, Koenigsiegg and convenient places to hide large amounts of money from the ATO....

Moderators Zedman240® Posted November 8, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 8, 2011 It must be a parking aid... it's mounted in the furthest corner of the car away from the driver.. Reminds me of those early Volvo trucks that came with them; but with white round balls instead of red lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
