speak to Tarek from RACESPEC

hes a sponsor from this site and does a decent cheap cooler

the pic shows the cooler he sells (taken a few years back) and attaches with 2 bolts that screw into 2 threads at the top of the cooler

just jap = crap, honestly

go a saber/hybrid kit, there on the cheap side and rather good for performance gains

Here we go, another sackrider

Your calling the intercoolers from Just Jap crap and recommending Saber or Hybrid instead? Now THAT is funny

They are the same intercoolers and have been proven time and time again to perform.

i may be wrong here...so dont flame me ....but i've read in some other forum that the stock r34 cooler will flow enough to make 200rwkw...so if thats ur target...its a direct bolt on and u can get one for around $220max.

my mate has a MONSTA (i know i know) intercooler on his 33, i have a hybrid (woweeee!!!!) anyways, his looks fancier with the whole delta fin thing...and i see no difference in them what so ever! i installed both kits, pretty much exactly the same, just made in CHINA! that's why their cheap. maybe the piping is a little thinner in the walls but for what its worth, i shoulda pocketed my 400 bux and spent that elsewhere. Simular cars, same boost, close to same km, same with most things and they are neck and neck....food for thought. just buy one champ.

i dunno if he is known on SAU like on ns.com, but GKTECH is a great supplier of cheap chinese copy FMIC's, they are pretty much the same as Just Jap, same price/quality etc, just depends who u want to go through.

Just for the record Hybrid/Saber are manufactured in CHINA!!

The difference between the Hybrid/just jap/gktech intercooler kits is minimal!!

Hybrid/Saber spend tens of thousands of dollars on marketing each year... The others, do not!!

*you get what you pay for*... That is from the olden days!!

Best to get with the times ASAP and save your self some cash.

The facts prove you wrong.

Here is an SAU member using a Cooling-Pro Intercooler Kit from Just Jap and producing 428HP at the wheels on 18psi without any problems.

I make 200kw's at all 4's in my GTi-R everyday... and my R32 4 door made 235rwkw's on .9 bar :kiss: (didn't tune past that but the intercooler certainly wasn't a restriction)

personally I would save the money until you can buy a nice cooler like ARC or similar. that's just my opinion though. I have never been impressed with the cheap chinese cores, but that is not to say they don't work. it's just my opinion on their quality, design, and manufacture.

the japanese cores are far, far superior, but sadly cost triple the price. :kiss:

i have a GKtech cooler and its fine

the kit cost me 400 bucks.

Say does anyone know where to get a cheap intercooler that uses the factory intercooler piping locations? Like Blitz LM R34 cooler for instance? It seems too much of a head stuff on the 34's having to chop the neo cover etc with these front mounts.

All of the cheap coolers that are made in china are usually all the same, they are fine for decent power (i had one in my old car, and my brother uses one in his 306fwkw civic and they work great), the only thing i dont like about them is the cheap as piping kits that usual come with them, if you want to do a fmic on the cheap and enjoy hacking up your car then you have made a good choice as they are a very inexpensive mod.

just jap sell a fmic with the inlet and outlet on the same side. u just have to make ur own piping to mate with the stock pipes. i was considering this option myself. from memory it's around $200, no piping incl.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
