depends how much it costs...... 349 just jap intercooler kit may be a better deal though

Any front mount will require a fair bit of front bar modification..

I got the just jap kit 1/2 installed. It is a bit of friggin round but I think they all are.

Good thing is the jusjap kit comes with all piping.

If you are staying with stock turbo I highly recommend just the R34 SMIC.

FMIC is a lot of stuffing around!!

Otherwise I've heard people on here doing the install for $250 which is a bargain.

So if you want FMIC:

DIY - $350

JustJap + Install ~ $600-$700

Performance gain on stock turbo <10rwkw over R34GTT cooler

Unless you want the wank factor..

exactly what benl1981 said, except for one thing. there's no KW gain over the 34smic unless ur stock turbo is nearing 220rwkw.

wank factor plays a major role in the amount of front mounts you see around.

also, the gtr cooler will require you to get custom piping made up, so you might was well just go a fmic. then enjoy the cold temps that winter brings.

Unless you're planning to go for over 200kw I recommend a R34 GT-t side mount intercooler. Better, bigger intercooler and it's a direct bolt on fit.

Oh and I see two other people already recommended the R34 SMIC
