Not sure mate pretty sure the hoses on the R33 face a different way to 32 which is why the R34 GT-t intercooler is not a direct R32 bolt on.

In fact I did some research and no. Check this pic out. You see the way the hoses face.

They are certainly not a new thing. HKS stopped making them quite a while ago as far as I know.

The ARC SMIC is has the same size core. It might be thicker by 5mm. It is also generally twice as expensive.

This one is in as new condition and has been polished up a bit before I got it. No bent fins at all.

I took some new photos and added those to the first post.

How long is a piece of string? I dunno it would depend completely on your application. Probably run a few psi more boost than stock with no problems. You are also going to improve your intake due to lowering the restrictions slightly due to the better designed core and end tanks.

Basically perfect for the guys who want to run a bleed valve with the stock turbo and tweak the boost a bit higher without cutting up half the front end of the car...

I have the ARC SMIC one for my 32 GTST. These type of side mount are the thinking mans intercooler. I would say they are good enough for over 180rwkw. and would be fine with the usual budget 32 upgrades of: RB25 turbo, dump + front pipe, 14psi boost, GTR injectors, Power FC. You would have a kick arse car, and not much lag.

I think the cores of my ARC are about the same thickness but the HKS one has more tubes and they are a tiny bit smaller.

best thing about these puppies is you can keep the stock piping. you dont have to hack your front bar and reo up. you dont get any additional lag (especially important if you are running an RB25 turbo or highflow) and they are cheaper than a proper japanese front mount kit. and no hassle from police.

just thought I'd add this bit of info.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
