Hi Adrian, VERY interested and I am in Perth and can get cash ready when you need it.

So whats everyones opinions - is the HKS or the Trust the pick?

I think the V-spec trust is supposed to have a more efficient turbulator design in the core to assist heat transfer, but I have heard from a number of tuners the HKS units flow the best...

I guess based on a stock or hi-flowed turbo the better cooling is probably more relevant that maximum flow support?

If they are quoting you 2k for a hybrid install they are making lots of cream on that pie. But hey, we are supposed to support them. You can get a hybred intercooler for around 800 and pay someone around 600 to install it. I believe the hybrid is as good a core as the hks or trust units, however i wouldnt say they are better. If you can get a trust kit for 1300 id say that would be the way to go.

By the way i saw a hybrid install done by a company we are not allowed to mention on here because how much they suck, at lets just say this install include a very very very very tight 180 degree bend, and 3 bars of the cooler blocked by the return pipe, i almost choked on my donar kebab.

This is also a reason the kit would be better, the tanks are designed for rb passover pipe, im yet to see a hybrid installed well on a rb engine with standard crossover pipe.

Man that intercooler install was crap, but everyone thinks this place is good cause they have a 9 second rotor, oh wow!

macka, already knew that :) just forgot

I DON'T GET OFF WHERE IN MY POSTS I SAID I WASN'T SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES?

So lets keep this short and sharp, if you're interested post in here, if you ain't dont! i know that hybrid coolers are absolutely awesome coolers as i have researched up on them quite a bit but if theres a chance you can get a japanese brand for around the same price what would you go for? and i have taken the customs thingo into account so those still interested can ya pm me :)

adrian :D

We will shortly be able to offer our own Coolers - identical to Hybrid - installed with polished stainless piping and silicon connections for around 1800 bucks installed. More than a backdoor jap import for sure, but you get that. Bear in mind that the Hybrid kit with mild steel piping sells for 1580 plus freight plus fitting.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
