Message Below is for sale a TOM vertical front mount intercooler that can be hooked up to stock piping. The fitment is great, and it being a vertical front mount intercooler makes TOM's intercoolers the only ones that are properly designed for use on the 300ZX Twin Turbo. New these units are $1200-$1300.

On top of the regular cost of the cooler, I'm sure you notice the coloring this intercooler has to it. The black coloring on the intercooler is NOT paint. It is Swain's BBE heat dissapating coating that ctually makes intake air temp roughly 20 degrees colder than without the coating. It's an awesome coating, and I'm suprised more people don't do it. It cost roughly $200 to have done. The piping is all chromed as well and was done locally for a couple hundred dollars (They do GREAT chrome work). Also included are ALL spring loaded t-bolts clamps. These are usually over $5 each new.

I have spent roughly $1700 on all of this and it all fits and looks perfect, and is VERY functional.

Pictures were taken tonight. This stuff is brand new, but cost to you is $1000 SHIPPED.


Picture shows Swain BBE Heat Emmiting Coating on it. Looks and functions amazing.


Also for sale are the four main hardpipes that someone will need when doing a turbo swap to their car. In stock form, these sell for roughly $300, and go for MUCH more if bought from Z1 motorsports. Mine are far from stock and I have converted the barb fittings on them to 4AN fittings so you can use 4AN hose for the vacuume lines. Also, they were chromed for around $400 (Do amazing work). Also the pipes and brackets for the stock recirculators I ground off, and made so you'd never even know they were there before. This looks better, reduces unecessary weight, and smoothes air flow through the piping. These are mint, and have not been used since the work has been finished. A LOT of money has been put into these, and the new owner will love them.

There is ONE flaw on the pipes, and that is that when the chromers polished the pipies for chroming, they actually put a TINY pin hole in one of the pipe right where I welded a plate to cover the original location of the stock recirc valves. When I pressure tested the pipes I found this and had to reweld over the tiny pinhole. I then resprayed the area to cover the weld and protect it instead of have the chromers redo it since this area of the pipes can NOT been seen. We all know how picky I am...but since this can't be seen I didn't worry about it. Besides this, the rest of the pipes are totally 100% perfect, and like I said you can not see this painted part once installed. If however for some reason, you do really want this to be rechromed, they will rechrome the pipes for me...you will just have to wait a week or two for them to get it done.

Anyways, these are the perfect pipes for someone doing aTT conversion or someone wanting to upgrade from stock, and have the BOVs located up near the throttle bodies instead of in the stock location.

Price is $500 SHIPPED

Picture showing 4AN fitting installed in car. These can be used for any vacuume line including BOV solenoid fittings.

4AN outside of car. Taken earlier today. I pressure tested ALL of these pipes once the fittings were installed up to 60psi.

Picture shows two of the pipes, Including the painted one. Once again, this part will never been seen as you can see where it is located at, but if you want the entire thing rechromed they will do it for me since they made the pin hole in it.

Other two pipes

Picture of the spot on the pipe that is painted. Once again...this can not be seen once installed, and once again...if you want this one pipe rechromed they will do that for me. You just have to wait another week or two for them to get it done.

All of them...beutiful!
