As subject says. Don't know where it was made because it came with the car. It came off my R33, but it's a bit too small to suit a Skyline. It would go a lot better on a 1.8 to 2.0L engine, maybe a Pulsar GTiR or 200SX? It has the inlet and outlet in the centre of the end tanks.

It comes with piping to suit a Skyline, but I don't recommend you fit it unless you're on a real budget. It's not very pretty both appearance-wise and flow-wise.

The cooler is currently sitting in the workshop of Hills Motorsport. I will go back there tomorrow and take some pics of it (didn't have my camera on me tonight).

Asking $350.

Edit: It's been sold!!! No more enquiries please :D

I didn't get back to the workshop today, I'm going back tomorrow morning to get 2 tyres and take pics of it.

But I completely forgot, I've got pics of it mounted in my car :D So here's the best one I have of it in my car, taken a few weeks ago.

Edit: My mistake, that pic wasn't taken a few weeks ago, it was October last year just after the respray, hence the missing badge which hadn't arrived from Japan yet. The lower side of the front bar is also in way too good condition for it to be that recent :(

Just FYI guys: Jet seems to want to buy it at this stage, so he's got first dibs on it pending checking it for leaks etc. I'll let you know if he changes his mind.

Sorry guys it was sold by the guys at Hills before I got there this morning :P

In a way I am glad I didn't have to sell it to someone with a Skyline, it really is a bit small and I think you would have been disappointed. Especially with the piping if you were counting on re-using it. Save up the extra $150 or so and buy a second hand GTR intercooler, it'll be worth the extra money for sure.

As for the guys with smaller cars that enquired (180SX, Celica GT4), well, I'm just sorry :D

The intercooler is going in a turbo Gemini, and I think that it will suit that car perfectly.

    • 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).
