Hey all,

Just bought my skyline in November its a White R33 GTS-T, I'm new to turbo cars and I don't want to go back. The car has been fantastic scince I got it however it is starting to struggle with the heat and the standard intercooler. I only live 15mins from work and it looses power over that time. IN the cooler weather it is so much fun to drive.

Look forward to getting to know you all.

hey hey welcome. You may find that even getting an oil cooler will help with the heat in your car. But's it's almost febuary and soon it will be getting cooler so your car should be fine after that.

also pics or ban!!!

I've been invited out to a track day with one of my mates local car clubs in March which it is still usually hot and the car will be wheazing by the time it gets there before it has done a few laps.

Sorting the digital camera out and will get some pics up soon.

I've been Looking around for one CarToys have some Hybrid one for $399, would somethinglike that be alright as I don't think i can afford the trust one for $1300. i'm planning on coming I just have to sort out some dates with someone who is coming to adelaide and I have to be there when they are here.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
