Hey guys,

Im looking at starting mods to my 33GTST and im contemplating Turbo back exhaust, FMIC and boost controller.

Was looking at Justjap's range, a Trust Intercooler kit is $1,299, where as a JJR Type 2 Intercooler kit is a mere $550.

What are the main differences here? I dont really need anything super duper but I don't want to buy crap either.

And I was also looking at the X-force stainless steel turbo back system. Anyone fitted that before?

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times before (which im sure it has)

I have just had one of the JJR Type 2 intercooler kits fitted to my R32 GTS-T and the quality and fit of the kit is outstanding.

The piping and clamps are of very high quality and they dont use the tiny weak clamps that some other kits on the market do.

The cores themselves have been proven in applications exceeding 300rwkw so for the majority of vehicles they are an excellent choice.

I will post a pic later tonight if I have a moment.

Value for money? unbeatable - Plus the owner Steve is on SAU under the username 'Just Jap' and they offer most of their products to SAU members at a discount.

Would the front bar of a S1 R33 need altering to fit a 600x300x76 intercooler? $550 for a type 2 kit seems very reasonable, especially if the IC actually does a decent job.

How much am I looking at for fitting? If I can get away without hacking up the front of the car then id be happy.

Any 600 x 300 x 76mm intercooler on an R33 GTS-T will require some trimming to the front bar

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
