hey everyone im curently looking for a new intercooler to suit a R32 GTR and am finding there is plenty of stuff on the market. i dont understand the differance beetwen a 600 dollar Just Jap one and the 2500 dollar Trust one, can they honestley be that different in cooling, they are both 600x300x100 so how big a difference can they be?

Please help. thanks

Generally with the generic copies, some modification is require to fit. On the other hand, the more expensive JDM ones usually fit absolutely perfectly with little or no modification needed.

i bought a just jap one and found the mounts to be wrong and the inlet and oulet to be 3" (76mm) which is no good as the std pipes are 80mm. The core design seems to be decent quality but I would cut the pipes and replace with 80mm. I sold mine to a friend with a GTST.

Fittings, pipings, quality of the fins on the core, the flow are just all different. Get a japanese front mount and they fit on perfectly. No hassles, they perform well from start till the end. Never gives up on ya. I've got a Trust GT front mount with HKS stainless pipings and connectors, fits perfectly against my trust gracer front bar on my 32GTR.

It depends on what you are after. As said above, the genuine coolers are always a quality product and are priced to reflect this (although usually overpriced). I've got a Blitz 600 x 300 x 100mm cooler for sale for not much more than the cheaper Chinese ones. You get what you pay for - cheap and GTR are rarely associated together.

just to be sure, the one you bought was the new just jap GTR specific one (with the curved cast tanks)? thanks.

Yep The GTR "bolt on"

another strange thing to note is that when I bought mine the dimentions listed were 600mmx300mmx90mm now they list 100mm thick.

ebay $315 delivered. I like the core but not the tanks

The Just Jap GTR upgrade IS in fact a bolt on replacement on R32's but requires minor modification for R33's

That said, im using the Apexi GT Spec intercooler on my GTR and its massive at 138mm thick, great intercooler though they are no longer available ;)

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
