I wouldn't pay over $250.. Have seen one at $170 a couple of weeks ago and one fro $220 a week before that..(In SAU classifieds)

If it's for a 32 it makes more sense to pay $250-$350 for an ARC replacement as the 34 unit srequire modding

I am probably fitting an FMIC in the next few months. If/when I do mine will be up for sale. Keep your eyes peeled on the forums.

Hi Nightcrawler,

how soon are u going to get FMIC?

and wat kinda price are u after for ur stockie?

yeah I am keen to know why too Bob. I changed my cooler on my S15 with standard turbo, and it allowed for heaps of extra timing and leaning out of fuel.

ZXFIRE - I hope to change it within a month - have just ordered my cooler kit. Will be looking for the normal price around town - I would think around $200 plus delivery. I am in SA.

I pretty much agree regarding changing the cooler for the stock turbo. The stock turbo doesn't really like being over 10psi for very long. At this boost, the stock intercooler is OK. That is, it's not great, but it's not too restrictive. I measured a 1.5 psi drop.

Basically, what he's saying is that some people just change the exhaust cooler, etc and stop there. It's not really worth it, like you spend 1k on intercooler. At that boost, it might only give you a few extra kw, like what's 10 kw?

When you get to a/m turbos and run 1.3 bar or something, that's when the stock cooler would be terrible.

ive got abo bobs old 34 cooler on my car.

the seat of the pants feel was similar to the difference between driving it on a hot day compared to a cool night.

as for the cooler being taller. you can only just stretch (in want for a better word) the plastic inner guard around the 34 cooler to fit. albeit with a bit of manipulation

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
