Hmmm I seriously dont know what to do :wave:

Get a cheap kit from Just Jap/CRD/GkTek. Heaps of people (including myself) have them and they rock.

An intercooler has no moving parts...there isn't much that could go wrong.

Some fit better than others but remeber that you have 3 or 4 pipes with silicon joiners which have a lot of flex and can me moved around to get the best fit.

If possible have a crack at doing the install yourself...just make sure you have a weekend free to do it.

Until the days that you strat running 300+RWKW with 20Psi Boost there is no need to think about the shit hot coolers such as ARC.

Good Luck

I used a 230 x 550 x 75 cooler on my car, no cutting of any metal, was able to run a 180 degree pipe back to the stock location and cost $450 all up including fitting. It only manages to get 1/8th of it warm under punishment.

These are good also:

Start with the first question:

What are you going to do with the car, what is the ideal you want to arrive at?

If you want the standard turbo or something up to 220-230rwkw for street strip then a good sidemount is very hard to beat for real performance. Trust and ARC provide sidemount core upgrades. If the standard turbo is used the R34 GTT intercooler is just fine.

IF you want to seriously circuit race the car with a factory turbo (probably a contridiction in terms given the ceramic wheels can let go under sustained loads) then a suitable aftermarket sidemount or something in a very very small front mount would do.

A good tube and fin core size of 440x300x55 is enough for around the 230rwkw mark worth of airflow at peak efficiency, a smaller core however would be better for an engine that peaks at 230rwkw.

PM me if you want more info.

Im going to do afew modifycations to it but its going to take me time dont wana rush hard into it... Im hoping to achieve atleast 300rwkw which for me to get that Im going to have to do my internals and upgrade my turbo probably to a HKS GT3240 or maybe a HKS T04Z but yeah will see what happens I just wana get the basic stuff atm like Full exhaust system, intercooler, air pod, turbo timer, boost controller, Apexi Power FC, bigger injectors, bigger fuel pump and other things before I go bigger :(

R34-GTT, i suggest you start doing a LOT more research.

The turbo turbos you listed are not really in the 300rwkw range, more up into the 350-450rwkw marker depending on specs.

And all that is a 20k adventure, hope you have a lot of money

GTR coolers are mass produced and have pretty poor flow capabilitys, the fins are very close together. also the $600 for a gtr cooler and then bout $400-$500 to get piping made up is goin to be better than say $350 kit from CRD in sponsors section. For most people unless your chasing like 1000hp or something stupid the cheap kits are fine, also the cheap kits have been tested compared to expensive ones and there is like 2% difference. For me $350 compared to over $1000 to not cut the front bar and have like maybe 2% flow difference just isnt worth it and most people will agree with that.

GTR coolers can easy be had for $350 or less + piping and fitment but still worth it. and i dont know were you got your info that they dont flow. mine came off a GTR with 350Kw and there is heaps of people on this site that will back them up with 300rwkw. as for flow they are going to flow heaps better than the cheap chianese ones. like the pros say its all about turbulents that are created in in the end tanks that promote flow.

well i have learnt this, do things properly the first time then you wont have to do it again later and waste money.

why fit cheap crappy stuff to your car if you dont want to fit/up grade it later? do you realy think nissan was like lets just fit these cheap coolers that we got from china to our pride of our fleat. they spend millions in R and D on every part on there cars.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
