    Took off thermo and support rail, relocated horn, moved ac piping, that piping was easy to relocate.

    Pushed the condenser back and I am about 210mm now...10mm off this bloody highmount fitting on the bar.

    Had to re do the piping on the cold side because its so far back now so next week ill mount the ic again and have a look.

    So close!!!
    I have just measured my Millweld bar and have 350mm clearance.

    That's good distance. That would fit a highmount nice with no grille cutting.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    He's a good man Johnathon. I'm also giving him a brand new spare tyre and rim and some hugs so he's a happy camper as well.

    I've had enough of this intercooler...lol...I'm done!!

    Moved it all back and it's all finally mounted. I hope this never has to come off ever again, I might have to write a manual on how it goes together with the amount of tweaking needed to fit this!

    Just need the grille on..

    I managed to get 205mm overall from the ic to behind the plate.
