Hey all

Just got a hybrid intercooler for my r34 gtt. So far ive been quoted $350 for install, does anyone know if this is a good price or if there are any places where i can get it cheaper etc looking for north shore preferably but dont mind a drive for a cheaper install :P

also i was told by one place that hybrid intercoolers are hard to install and hit the fan or something on r34's anyone know about this?

tnx B)

Hey champ, ive done tonnes of r33 and some r32 installs of those hybrid kits, but havent done a 34... PM me and we can organise, and ill def beat that price you been quoted :D

Since this will be my first 34, will prob charge a flat price, but should be the same as 33 etc, as it all ligns up the same, only diff in ligning up might be some of the holes :)

Let me know if your keen

I completed Shado34's kit yesterday. Its abit diff to the 33 as you have to drill 2 extra holes on the support bar. You also need to remove the window washer bottle as it gets in the way of the piping that runs to the intake.

Other than that, I found that more of the fan blades need trimming, and that the piping running to the belmouth of the turbo was very very tight!!! Other than that, install went good. Hope your happy with the work champ

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
