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

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
