Getting A Cooler Need Some Help From U Guys

[GME_OVA R34]

hey thinking about getting a fmic from just jap not sure if i should or not wat do u guys recon?

[4dirty2]

u get wat u pay for

[Luke_ENR34]

heard they are shit. pipework not lining up. spend some extra money and get something good

[GME_OVA R34]

oh serious damn how much do u recon i can find a tube and fin cooler for and from where n wat brand do u reccomend?

[Bl4cK32]

Just because u heard they are shit doesnt mean they all are. Ive had big fark off excuses for quality built here in aus. Need some data behind that statement Luke. Which brand etc...?

If u buy a brand item like HKS or trust etc chances are it will be top quality and will work no probs. Buying a chinese knockoff then sure it will have problems.

I do believe on an item like an ic kit though if u find one in Aus thats a good price and well built then go for it.

I cant complain about the quality of my just jap special apart from the fact they sent me an rb25 one, fitted alright had to do some modifications to the piping but that was because it was the wrong kit.

All of these chinese knockoffs are killing the market for quality jap parts

[Pauly33GTS-t]

how are they killing the market? is it because they work?

clearly if they were shithouse and didnt function properly then they wouldnt be sold, looks like so far a selection of them have been diong the job and people have been buying them cause they are cheap and work ok.

I mean what are you paying for if you get a HKS cooler, is it name, r&d or cost of manufacture. My guess is ALL the mentioned.

There killing the market because you cannot guarantee the quality of Chinese parts, its a gamble if it will work or need mods to work. Everybody buys the cheaper option forcing jap brands to decrease their costs and move to china.

Half of the jap brands are owned by chinese companies and if it continues the big brands such as apexi, trust, hks will have to manufacture their products in China. We will all still have the same parts available just quality will be lower

I knew I studied microeconomics for a reason

I am perfectly happy with my JustJap kit on my R34 .... I had a $1,200 genuine Hybrid kit on my S15 and I can't tell the difference between that and my $300 JustJap one.

I just installed a just jap kit on my car a week ago, quality wise it seemed fine to be and didn't perform any better then the Hydbrid core i had on the car before, only prob i found with it was it fitted really badly.....

[Nightcrawler]

yeah that's why silicon hoses are so flexible

[rubzy]

I got my fmic through just jap and i haven't found any reason to complain about it. I didn't personally fit it but the guy who did didn't tell me he had to modify it. It does the job for the purpose it was bought for. Depends how much power you want out of your 34 i guess, wouldn't it? Are you intending on taking it down the quarter mile for a 10 sec pass or just want to make it faster?

[Leeman]

Just jap front mounts are fine, go for it! The money you save from having a brand name one you can spend on something else

[GME_OVA R34]

yehh mayaswell seeign thats all i can afford ahaha sucks being a yr 12 student and unemployed

[siba33]
