hey everyone!! Im jus searching for an intercooler kit and with so many differnt choices out there and everyone has there own point of view on th subject i thought id see what other stagea owners are using..

1) what size?

2) what style ie bar n plate, tube n fin and even if its return feed etc

3) brand name or copy

4) complete "skyline" kit or custom piping

5) are you happy with the results?

6) Rough pricing all up ?

I know theres already been a thread similar to this, so please dun bag me out as it didnt realy give me the answers.

Im currently checking out a genuine Hybrid R33 skyline kit, 600x300x76 bar and plate, all piping brackets, tubeing etc brand new for $600 + $50 postage sounds like a damn good deal to me ... so before i part with my cash just really want to get an idea whats working for others with stageas.

Cheers Lee

That sounds good Chris, any chance you'll persuade them to make the ones where the return pipe goes back under the intercooler core so we can still use the same holes as the standard SMIC uses?

And another quick question, can you get your hands on Defi gauges? I want three 2" ones, Oil Temp, Oil Pressure and Boost, if you can get prices for them it would be greatly appreciated. Nengun are cheap, but apparently can take a long time getting here (which I suppose is the price you pay).

Thanks,

Nick

Monkey Warehouse supply's intercoolers. I'm working on having some Stagea kits made up too :D

try and get the s2 260rs kit, cos i need the side skirts to go with my front bar. :P

p.s. im happy to let you get a mould of my front bar made if it means i can get the side skirts for free/cheap :)

Nope cant do Defi unfortunatly. We have Motor Meter, which are made by Autogauge. Those gauges should be around $40-$50 each. Lemme know if your interested. And yes, Ill have a chat and see what I can do about the intercoolers

yeah hey i have got the cooler in a mates shed atm, what we did was get the core without end tanks on it and cause he can do all custom work and welds stainless we put the intake and outlet on the same side of the cooler so we just have to run 40cm of pipe back to the factory piping and it looks completly stock. all up it will cost me $450 and it was a 600*300*100 PWR core.

hey goldzilla i can get u them defi guages i will price them when i go back to work in a week cause i on holidays atm. will pm with details

i'd be getting either one to use the original pipework (both on same side) such as a hybrid one, or for a cooler with tanks on each end and requiring new pipework totally, id use the stock r32/33/34 gtr coolers. they are a perfect fit, and it just depends on how u want to route the cooler piping in the engine bay as to which one u choose :( i'd pick a gtr cooler over a hybrid anyday.

choose is yours :(

hey goldzilla i can get u them defi guages i will price them when i go back to work in a week cause i on holidays atm. will pm with details

That would be awesome, thanks Neo. Where do you work, if you don't mind revealing (PM if you wish)?

Working part-time atm is killing me - surviving fine, but saving for mods, etc. is almost non-existant. Just started getting bits and pieces of my stereo together (the standard stereo and speakers suck), and gauges are next, then the performance mods will begin - starting with that intercooler...

Cheers,

Nick

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
