Need some help to decide what to get.

What material is better for intercooler pipe work?

Aluminium or ss.

Keeping in mind that ss is heavier, may look better (to some). Resistant to heat better than ali.

ali; lighter, more expensive, temperature sensitive.

Keeping in mind that keeping cool air into the engine is important, and at the same time weight play an important part in as well

i really doubt it makes that much of a difference

theres heaps of 300hp cars using these china kits without a problem these days, even most workshops would sell these as most people aim "bang for buck"

and i dont think anyones really tested intercooler vs intercooler to really find out the diffence

save the money and spend on othe areas

i generally like to go with the name brand stuff.. but with the amount of intercoolers available at the moment, the china kits arent all that bad.

id say for moderate power (up to 350rwhp) use a china, but if you are more serious and want big figures, start looking at the greddy/trust, etc kits.

(ive got a china kit on my car, running 300rwhp, i just changed the hose clamps that came with it to the T bolt type and ive had no problems with it!)

don't you know the fact is many branded stuff are made in china and the factories use their technology to make their own ..samething... but i don't think it's a good way to develop themselvs

that is ture...

the greddy m-spec I/C cores are the same as the china/hybird cores BUT the is a big difference (well i think anways) in the piping and endtanks

how can you go wrong with a jap kit for only $600-$700 ?

should be good then, only mods im going to do a fmic, pfc, full turbo exhaust, safc, 11 psi, and probably not much more than that in terms of adding hp :happy:

$600 or so from CRC for a Greddy M-spec cooler its worth the extra $$$.... as i have found with most custom/chinacopy piping kit will fit or touch the bonnet and come close to if not hit the fan...

i have yet to see this problem with the greddy piping

ps there is nothing wrong the china cooler itself as im running one with over 300hp its the piping and endtanks i dont like

    • 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
