Hi guys, the standard R34GTT intercooler is a bit bigger (thicker) than the R33/32 one. It's still not in a good location, but the R34 ducting is better.

It really depends on how often and for how long you are going to run it at full boost. If it's road only car or a road/drag car I would reckon 200 rwkw may be OK. On a circuit car it would not have enough airflow or mass to control the temperature over any sustained period, 2 or 3 laps and it would overheat the inlet air.

Hope that helps

Does anyone know if that (R34 cooler) is a straight swap with the stock R33 side mount ?

I was considering this as a low-cost DIY alternatives to FMICs...

Would also be nice to hear if anyone else has already tried it and what they've noticed different...or any other opinions...

yep, straight swap. a few guys in the HK skyline club have done this to their 33 GTST's.

so from a stock setup, what do they do besides changing to the R34 cooler ?

add some boost ?

A friend was considering that cooler, a cheap $100 turbosmart boost controller (or bleed valve - if those terms are interchangeable?)

and leaving the rest with a possible EMS upgrade to tune those mods together.

refer to what SydneyKid said...what application is the car going to be built up for?

Street terror?

Circuit basher?

Straightline warrior?

I don't think I've ever brought up any hi amounts of boost in traffic...especially with the peak traffics lasting longer and longer lately...

on that note it sounds like the stock one will do fine...and for that bit more without the huge overheads of mods, the R34 cooler as a simple upgrade...

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
