Pics of what is installed so far. Hard to understand the directions. I do not read or understand Japaness.
I am glad that I do not have to fab a kit from scratch. This is frustrating try to figure out if this is correct.
Any one who has this kit, please let me know if I am on the right track. Any help would be great.

Keep going, based on what I remember from installation, you're on the right track. Your power steering cooling lines will either have to be trimmed or you'll have to get a new after market cooler.

Def3 that hose you have in that pic up there is suppose to go the other way towards the bent tube from the radiator. I believe you have 3 hoses. The lower radiator outlet uses two of those hoses. One of the hoses is hooked up to the straight tube and arched towards the lower outlet, and the lower out has the other hose pointed towards the straight tube. There's a metal piece that connects the two. I think it has a nipple on this piece. That bent tube has one hose which connects to the upper radiator outlet. Sounds confusing but if you give me your email I can email you some photos I got from FDeez.

You're going to have to bend the hell out of those AC lines to make it fit, good luck to ya. I don't see why they wouldn't have included new A/C lines that work correctly, or mount the inlet/outlet in a more A/C friendly location.

If what I'm seeing in the photos is correct (it's a bit blurry), that A/C line running under the cross brace needs to be extended in order to clear the radiator hose AND attach back to the fitting that goes to the heater core. If you remove that line, and bring it to an A/C shop, they can do it for you. That's what I had to do.
As for the A/C lines going to the evaporator canister, just work VERY SLOW, and in small sections, and you'll be fine.

I move back to the bay on Tuesday, and I wanna see you setup one of these days...
