what about summit like

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRONT-MOUNT-UNIVERSAL-INTERCOOLER-300ZX-200SX-SKYLINE-/350355802646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5192d54a16

more efficent, less pipework, might be onto a winner?

any benefit to running this as well as the side mount?
I think that might fit along as you get the pipework right

i'd deffiantely do that route if it fits well and can be done under £200, just want to see it done first lol
As Houston said and my cousin said to me yesterday your already gonna be using most of the oe pipework you only need a couple of bents.

If anyone is interested in this intercooler

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FRONT-MOUNT-UNIVERSAL-INTERCOOLER-300ZX-200SX-SKYLINE-/350355802646?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5192d54a16#ht_1948wt_932

i've just found out that the dimensions on this one above is 600mm x 300mm x 76mm and the forge ones are 580mm 250mm 60mm not a massive difference in size and it should fit with minor work, i'm willing to give it a try.
