Hey guys i dont realy want to cut out the front of my bumper for a front mount so i was wondering if it was possible to set up 2 stock intercoolers for an R33 Gtst i dont know if this can be done but you never know unless you ask and i dont know jack about turbos or intercoolers and would this make much of a diffrence if i could do it?

Thanks for your help

I have an R33 sII 1996

If you do decide to do it, hook em up in parallel to reduce pressure drop and reduce restriction.

Or, buy one of the many readily avaiable front mount kits on the market.

They ain't too exy these days.

You could use this vertically with one end directly plumbed into the stock cooler pipe and the other plumbed back with a bit of custom pipe work. It would probably flow better than an r34 cooler due to the thicker tubes. You will also need to make a shroud to guide the air into it.

I'm on the same kind of path.. I don't want a front-mount (blocking my radiator, and i'm sure the IC would absorb some radiator heat too), I don't want to chop my bar, and I don't want to chop my engine bay or engine fan blades.

So, i'm running an R34 SMIC, and it's considerably larger and freer flowing. If you want to go up from there, the ARC SMIC's are more expensive, but are lighter and even better flowing. (all aluminium apparently).

Otherwise, the link above is one of the few kits around that reuse your existing pipe-work and holes... but that still means running a front-mount. Some kits may not require modding your front bar, but then it's all down to your requirements.

R34 swapout is dead easy. Allow for one hour stuffing around with undoing the hose-clamps and taking the front wheel off. $200 from the FS area, or ebay. =-]

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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.
