They are. I can't comment on teh design but people should ask themself do you think they would risk there reputation over a cheaper alternative :P

And update on deleivary i called and i've been asured they will be ready for pick up on tuesday.

As i said i can't 100% say the design is different i havn't compared the tow, but just becuase they look the same doesnt' mean they are. For starters the piping is different and the joiners for the piping, so thats part of teh kit making it "different" not exactly the same. A company like Trust/Greddy arn't exactly going to walk in to a company making these cheapies and wack a badge on them. Yes they are not Japanese made hence to keep the costs down, but on that note they are made to Trust/Greddy specs (as they woudlnt' want to risk there name over a cheaper alternative) i wouldn't confidently say that a company like Trust/Greddy would nto have wacked there badge on some no name brand cooler and hopped for the best, they would of been designed with the intent to target a market dominated by cheaper no frills coolers. So with that in mind they would of looked at manifacturing them abroad (out of Japan) and thats why they are only rated up to 270-300kw. They are perfect for what the are, it all comes down to preference, save a few $100 on a no name brand, or pay the bit extra for a trusted brand. It's like that with everything.

Nav2k you might find more info at the website or even email them.

thats what i thought too..theyre designed by greddy but made overseas but the other guy said that wasn't the case..so i wanted confirmation on that.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
