So I have been scanning through the internet, looking through Sasha's and others build photos, the instructions with photos that are included with the kit even though its for a 370z.
Here's my question, does anyone have a photo of the intercooler bracket mounting specifically for an HR with the Boosted Performance single kit. I am either really tired or really terrible with mounting stuff. Its almost seems as if the brackets are drilled or welded incorrectly. I'm stumped. This is a pic from the installation manual for a 370z not an HR, note how the intercooler brackets are mounted on the crash bar supports.
This is a pic from my HR with the IC brackets, the black dot is where its bolted to the bumper supports and the red circle is where it should line up with the other hole but it is not even close. Also note that I have tried to swap them left and right flipped them up and down. There is a existed stud that is permanently welded into the IC bracket......I am assuming this stud must go into the IC itself.......
IC brackets
This way the Bracket holes line up but now the IC bracket that would connect to the IC is wrong.
Im not sure why this is bothering me so much, its literally 2 bolts that hold this stuff on but im lost. Can anyone verify if these brackets are the correct ones for the HR's?

Those are brackets for the the HR kit, and are the same as the DE kits. In the last picture, you have the passenger side and driver side reversed, and upside down.
You need to remove the crash bar mounting spacers as well, and the brackets need to go on there.
Thank you Sasha!!!!!! I thought the spacers needed to stay to give me enough clearence for the intercooler. I had the spacers off but was looking at other pics from the 370z's and it looked like the spacers stay on.
