lol im cheap cos im unemplyed lol. and my dad doesnt believe in mods :laugh:

at the time when i bought my cooler kit there were no china kits around and still the hybrid kits were like 800 or so.... so i was like mmm ill pay extra and get quality

plus at that price with the hybrids some touched bonnets and fans

but yer over the last 1.3-4 years coolers have been hell popluar and hell cheap but yer...

also mikey made me by my kit as when i looked as his his cooler pipe was touching the bonnet and was close to the fan

also the cooler wasnt straight

mine also sat flush with my front bar which was a bonus :laugh:

the only prob I found with the china kits is that they may not always go infornt of the radiator and the fan (may rub on fan) I prefer full custom IMO .... but thats cause I do my own anyway. Best price is always gonna be the china ... remeber you get what you pay for.

  • 2 weeks later...

time for a bump

I wanna know who can make me a pipe to go either under or behind the cooler then up the factory side.

I have a kit with full piping and clamps etc.. and the only thing bothering me is i do not want to lose the R34 engine cover..

so who are you recommending?

private people who do exhaust and pipework is fine.. just dont want to pay excessively for it.

don't care if the bend costs me 2.5hp in flow at the end of the day

$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

yep. I totally agreed

got my car back on Friday last week.

Ali piping,; the pipe touch the bonnet & I got about 5mm clearest form the fan, but then I wrap the top pipe so now it just touch the fan. So there is a bit of burr fur.

Doesn’t look so good, but I believe it help keeping the heat away form the pipe.

i just receieved a chine kit i ordered, the welding on the end tanks leaves a lot to be desired, the pipes are about as shiny as my left nut and they have small pin dents all over them, but i got it delivered for less than $400 and im not gunna go past 250rwkw so im happy at that price :/

can be done, I will have a complete piping kit with silicone hose and clamps for sale for $100 in about 3wks if your interested. No doubt you will find a china cooler for less than $200, making it under $300 all up. Let me know if your keen on my piping. Its to suit a RB25 R33 GTSt

oh no i already have everything i need to do piping.. crossover style..

i did the piping when i turboed the satria.. that worked out fine..

but .. i want to go down the factory side instead of crossover the radiator...was thinking might be neater to get a bend fabricated.. but it not.. i don't care.. i do know what i am doing... so will just do it the best way i can... or i will cop out and do the piping the most popular way..

oh and 8OOSTED...i think i have a mate who will be keen on the kit.. fo shizzle

I spoke with a few of the guys from Top Racing and they said that the china coolers are alot better than most people think they are...

Dont fool yourself by buying an intercooler thats $1500 becuase it has apexi writtin on the front.

I'm getting a china cooler next year and I doubt I will have a single problem.

    • 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 🍻
