Have some problems with the new intercooler. It was said that I could use the standard hoses but the IC outlets are too far in front of the standard so I need new hoses/pipes. But I don't know what I need and how I can measure for it. Have some pictures of it, but am not sure if they're that much help.

Would be easiest if I could find an 80mm flexible hose that I could use, where can I get it?

probably just need half a meter of 2.5 inch stainless pipe and then grab some silicon hoses to suite both ends, they make them with all sorts of bends and go for about $15-$30 (should work for the right side anyway)

Fair enough. I'd look at getting some 90 degree bends in steel maybe so that you can point forward and closer to the end tank before using flexible joiners to make up the difference. (obviously need some joiners at the other end too)

It shouldn't be too hard to get a rough idea of the angles you need and the correct size and get them made up by a fabricator. Then use a silicone bend to finish it off at each side.

Will 2.5" really be enough? It's way smaller than the standard size. Can't find any 80mm --> 2.5" reducers either, Samco doesn't have them at least.

if that is a GTR upgrade IC from justjap, then the outlets are 3" ..

what is the size of the STD GTR intercooler endtank pipes?

No it's not from justjap. Both this and the standard intercoolers have 80mm outlets.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
