bleh, sif it makes a difference, i have a friend who's father has a 700odd hp twin turbo v8 supra using a just jap intercooler, runs fine no worries.

Its all marketing hype, admitadely, $2000+ inter cooler kits fit better and thats about it.

cheers

I've got one, but haven't installed yet... don't know if i will either. The only time I give my car stik is at night and the air is cool enough already.

The highest knock level I have had at night has been 17 which is nothing. However if you're stupid and crusify your car during a hot day it would benefit your cause a little.

If your car is completly stock the intercooler will make it slower due to the extra meter of piping and the huge volume of the intercooler that has to be filled with boost.

A FMIC will make your car look faster, besides that at this level of performance any el-cheapo or brand name cooler will cool effectively enough for your needs. So yes, they work good.

Which cooler is it? bar and plate or tube and fin? Either way though i've seen these coolers support in excess of 260rwkw so they can't be bad...alot of brand snobs would say otherwise but results speak for themselves...and its usually the piping that lets you down...cheers...

I bought a hybrid copy kit that came with a delta fin core, its basically a APEXI intercooler copy.

The isntall was not exactly a easy botl on but its all together is fairly good. I f could do it agian i would have saved the money and bought the blitz style that uses the stock IC pipes off the turbo and in the intake. I personally dont liek the ider of the hybirs kit with a pipe running across inbetween my radiator and engine then having to cut my fan blades not to mention make a 3inch hoel in the side of the car for the pipe.

Other wise for the money great kit. I have the Bar and plate before and apparently the Delta fin is supposed to be better and cost more. Ohnestly for a street car under 150 rWK i doubt id notice the difference?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      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.
