Ok, here's a pic of the cooler fitted. Basically the bar that goes across the middle has been removed and my front bar (series 1 non m-spec) has been butchered to give maximum flow. I dont think it looks too bad, but up close it does look crap. I'll take some photo's of the car with the front bar fitted up tomorrow morning. First impressions is I feel maybe another 10-20HP at the wheels, the car is certainly pulling much harder than before. I cant hear any pinging (before it was quite loud, marbles rattling around) but it still may be pinging. Next stop will be a dyno and maybe look at my AF ratio's to find out how rich the car is running. Next mod will be the dump+front pipe, wait a few months then SAFC 2 (hopefully the dollar holds out against the yen) then a few more months and the ogura flywheel (as per rev210). Then I'm not sure... its either bigger turbo or full ecu, I'm sure I will need a new fuel pump and regulator before that stage. I also want a 400r front bar for the front now, seeing as I have a fmic to suit. Enjoy pic, I will post more tomorrow.

Oh yeah. I'd like to thank AJ, Sumo and Baz @ Speedworks ((2428888) for all their work and help with the kit and car. Although it took a damn long time to get it all sorted, it looks and performs great and their workmanship is 2nd to none. I think I will get some aluminin pipes made up to go into the engine bar from the cooler to turbo and manifold. If anyone is considering a jap cooler I reckon give them a go (they also make coolers too, if you cant stretch the budget that far). :P

Ok, pics of the front bar and cooler. As you can see the middle section of the front bar has been chopped and my number plate moved to the side. Its not bad from the pics, but up close you can see where the plastic was cut and it looks average, but all I am interested in is flow. I'll be heading down to SST tonight between 7-7:30pm to dyno the car if anyone else wants to turn up and have a look your more than welcome. Enjoy.

I have that same cooler (or similar model), sweet.

what did the bar chopping cost or did you so it yourself?

also did you get a quote for a cleaner chop where they cap the ends of the hole etc?

I always think about getting out the hacksaw and chewing into the front bar but so far I've chickened out.

I cant say how much it cost me, but thats what most people would pay. As I said before speedworks do all my work, and I've known ivan & crew for a while. This kit took 2 hrs to fit, I'd like to see an aussie kit being fitted in 2 hrs or less as most of them simply dont bolt into place as easily and as quickly as japanese stuff. I've always been a believer that japanese stuff is much better than aussie stuff (you pay for what you get), plus I'd rather pay the extra now and go over what I might end up needing than pay less now and then find it wont flow as well as it should and have to spend more money down the track. I still havent decided upon how much power I want exactly. If I choose a gt3037 turbo, I'll need a cooler this size to handle it. Anyway, I'm happy with the kit, regardless of how much I paid. Why are japanese exhausts dearer than the aussie made ones? I've heard a jap one and a aussie one side by side and the aussie is far much louder than the japanese, but the flow on the japanese is better. I doubt my car would be faster than someone whose done the same mods but only spent $1500 on a cooler.

    • 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.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
