Someone here posted that it is basically the same and uses the same piping but it's just thicker. If thats true then it would be a reasonable upgrade for someone like me who is only planning on running about 12psi max with the basic sort of mods to get around 200rwkw. So for the couple hundred? or so it is much cheaper than a fmic as i wont be running a bigger turbo so i wont need one. So it would provide that bit extra cooling without going overboard on a fmic. If someone could confirm that its a straight swap that would be great, also does anyone have a rough price for a second hand one?

the stock r33 unit hasn't prevented me from getting as much power as the factory turbo can produce.

So far my power output matches or exceeds a fmic, stock turbo combination.

You get to a point where the factory turbo just acts as a blockage anyway.

I doubt you could get them for $100..If you can then you're laughing..

think about it..

REV210 is still running the standard cooler on his car and getting close to 12 second pass (or maybe already done it) and has who knows what power at the wheels.

these intercooler are on a car that already has 206kw and just as the R33 ones can handle some extra power so can these so it would be a great upgrade for someones R33 or R32 who is not looking at getting more than say 250kw at the engine... or maybe even a little more..

I think that these are worth closer to $300 from some that I have seen.

good luck.

If you were offered a FMIC, rev, would you take it and install it? I think you'd be quite pleasantly surprised :mad:

If I was offered a FMIC I'd take it.

Then I would sell it.

And have some underdrive lightweight pulleys made for the engine, perhaps also install an automatic gtst's diff center with the 4.3 gears and buy some decent wide tyres for the back with the money from the sale.

I am pleasantly suprised to beat the pants off all the poor people who got oversized frount mount intercoolers for their stock turbo'd cars (BoostD is the exception to the rule). So in the pleasantly suprised stakes I'm already pleasantly suprised at how little money I've spent.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
