ARC kit is the way to go. no doubt. I have NFI what paulR33 is trying to say about a stock GTR cooler (better than GKtech? or better than ARC?), but considering you have a GTST whether a stock GTR cooler is better or not is not really relevant...

ARC kit will be much nicer than the chinese kits. i say go for it.

he's saying GTR core is better than Blitz, ARC etc...

maybe for the GTR's...as having the plenum on that side means they have short piping....which is what you get when using arc/blitz LM on a GTS-T....

I think the one your thinking of is a PWR cooler??

The design of the ARC one is similar to the blitz LM. Does anyone know if there is much of a difference between the two, or are they much of a muchness?

How big are the inlet/outlet and the size of the piping?

fair enough. I'm not sure that he is right though. sure the calsonic GTR coolers are good, but I would thing a properly sized ARC one would be better. plus for a GTST it's a moot point as 1. they dont come with a GTR cooler, and 2. if you bought and fitted one it involves some fairly lengthy piping. so not really relevant to this guys question at all.

ehheh thats what i was getting at...they might be good on a GTR...but the gtr uses shorter piping with the plenum on the same side..whereas the gts-t needs to come up and over the radiator...so there's your extra piping...thats why i beleive that if you have the money and can justify spending it on a cooler, the turn flow kits are the way to go

this is mine

LOL, I was just looking at that pic trying to work out how that works with the twin entry, then I realised that your car is a GTR - i.e. twin turbo.....

Looking at the turn-flow kit, would the "turn" to come back under the radiator be restrictive, or is this a better design than the regular kits that go over the radiator? Looks like one advantage of this kit is that it uses the factory piping.

Its the core design that makes all the difference.

note the flared tubes on the inlet side of the core. On any other cooler the air hits 50% or more of a brick wall. ARC reduce this restriction to a minimun. It is also worth noting that I previously had over heating problems which are no existant now. Flow through the core is also improved.

That was going to be another question I meant to ask. Is it likely that the car could overheat with a FMIC in place, being that it sits in front of the radiator. Is it worth looking into a better radiator and/or colder thermostat?

I suppose a colder thermostat might be a good idea, it is pretty cheap insurance to prevent overheating. Going for an aftermarket radiator might not be required though.

I suppose if I have any problems, I can always throw the standard cooler back in until I get it fixed.

Dezz..that R34 Nur in your avatar..It came into work and I got to drive it..its breathtaking to see it in person.Owner currently sellin it:(

:D

How much is he asking? I need to know how many banks i need to rob so i can buy it off him :D:ermm:

Again guys you get what you pay for.

I bought one of the GKtech coolers and while the cooler itself was very good, im now going to have to fork out more to get custom stainless steel pipes made up for it as the gk pipes have the most piss poor fit of any kit i have seen.

none of them line up when fitted and we had to cut 2 inches out of one pipe just to fit it to the cooler.

Bleh you cant expect to much from a $400 kit.

:D

I didnt ask him how much but asked why he was selling it (as I think he bought it a few months ago)and he said it was too much money to be tied up in a car.I did see it for sale on a trading site here going for less than $NZ250,000 so hm you probably need to rob just one bank:P

    • 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
