Ok guys i'm organising a group buy for the GKTech front mount kits.

Starting 30/5 and ending in 2 weeks on the 13th/5 (or when we have 10 buyers, another GB will be started if this 1 fills)

Kits available to suit

S13/S14/S15

R32/R33/R34

A31

RNN14 GTi-R AND GC8 WRX!!

Details on the kits :

The front mount bar and plate intercooler kits are constructed entirely of high quality 6061 aluminum and the intercooler core is 100% vacuum brazed. The polished aluminum end tanks are hand TIG welded for a perfect fit. The ambient fin pitch has been adjusted to provide an optimal fin density of 15 fins/inch. This gives the intercooler excellent flow properties as well as a large cooling surface area, and the efficient Bar & Plate core takes advantage of these properties. The piping is all mandrel bent and contains only 1 weld mark throughout the whole kit. The kit includes 1x 600x 300x 76mm intercooler, polished aluminimum piping, all brackets, nuts, bolts, tripple layer silicon hoses, clamps etc.

The kits are designed to be installed DIY and are very easy to install.

Features & Specs:

-All TIG Welded 6061 Aluminum, polished end tanks

-100% Vacuum Brazed Core

-High Efficiency Bar & Plate Construction

-3 popular Sizes available

-Inlet/Outlet: 3inch

-Low pressure drop w/ only 0.2psi at 15psi of boost

-Tested CFM: 1020 CFM

-Fin Pitch: 15 Fins/Inch

Which pic(s) actually relate to R33 S2 kit?

Can we get some pics of the unit installed and comments from people of the last group buy/who have it installed?

When they get their kits and get them fitted im sure someone can post pics..

The pics in the post are the GTS-T kits :D

Hello I would like to know the size of the piping on the r33 kit thanks

2.5" mandrel bent polished aluminium

I look forward to hearing if they will fit a Foz!

Will let you know asap

We can't guarantee the fitment on a forester. These kits are

IDENTICAL to the Hybrid GC8 kits so if they fit, then so will ours.

Also guys, the hose clamps supplied in the kit are stainless steel, and great quality :D

The kits actually left the post office this morning and not yesterday afternoon. They were dropped off yesterday afternoon but unfortunately due to the 34 boxes that I needed to send out at the same time they couldn't have them all ready before the close of trade :)

Please post up when your kit arrives (should take anywhere from 1-5 working days depending on you location within Australia).

cheers,

Greg

I am pretty sure the Hybrid kits won't fit an SF5 Forester. Oh well :dry:

It really depends on how far the kits off from fitting on your car. If it is only a little bit of mucking around to fit on a different car than intended then it will still be a very cheap option over custom. If it's nothing like the WRX kit then it's best to go custom.

Only you can decide if it's worth it or not.

Greg

Problem is I am not 100% sure why it doesn't fit just know it doesn't. If I was in Melbourne I would just pop in for you guys to have a look but being based in Adelaide makes it a bit more difficult for me to do that. If I could russle up someone in Melbourne do you think you could take a look and let me know?

Hi Micheal, unfortunately it makes it very hard as the kit is designed specifically for the GC8 WRX.

As far as modifying it we don't know and wouldn't know until it is fitted to a car which would take a fwe hours to even determine.

If you're in a Subaru club or something like that, possibly someone on there can help? Maybe someone on there has attempted to fit a WRX kit to a Forester, as we just really don't know if it will fit, and can't guarantee if it will fit to a car other than specified.

Sorry for not being able to help you too much :(

Greg

OK apparently the kit will fit an SF5 Forester with slight mods, but it maystick out the bottom of the bumper, ideally for a Forester the core needs to be 600x260x76. I have posted a link to this thread on the gtrydaz forum as well now.

ok, so would you like a kit or?

That bit I haven't worked out yet $$$ are a bit tight at the moment, this is almost too good to pass up though, I might have a chat to my tuner about it and see what he says.

Michael

Common guys, this is a once in a life time opportunity! When are you ever going to find an excellent quality FMIC kit with EVERYTHING needed to install for $400?? Even if after 12 months it stuffs up just replace the core for a name brand and use the same piping!!! you will save $$$ either way...

Regards,

Sarkis

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
