The answer is you can make 200rwkw on the stock unit.

The R34 intercooler is a bolt in and will give you some more headroom for a tad more power. Water spray is not needed at all on the stock turbo unless you have some sustained thrashing involved but, none the less is of benifit to any size intercooler.

Why bother wasting $200 for a r34 side mount when you will probably get sick of it/need to upgrade 2-3 months down the track.

Just get a fmic hole cut, get it done by a pro, make it look nice n pro. Dont worry about cutting a hole, we all do it but if u have a spare 1k go do what some ppl here mentioned.

The way i see it, cooler kit for $350 (i have one ready to go) installation ~100-150 u just saved 500-600 on other mods that u will enjoy

$200 on an R34 intercooler is very little money and still cheaper than a fmic, on a stock turbo or hiflow with power levels upto 220rwkw or so.

So you can ask "why spend another $300 for cop bait, extra weight and more often than not, no extra performance?"

Then again be a bolt on boy and follow the sheep? Who cares it's all good.

Paint it black, you will notice the difference of a FMIC on the track.

Follow the sheep? wtf..

People use FMIC kits because they work. $200 for a side mount, and for $130 extra you can get a FMIC kit which will do a the same job, and will support more than 200rwkw if you do chooses to go there later.

I mean he has an Rb25, all he is has to do is boost it to 13psi or so, with exhaust adn shit, and that side mount becomes useless as he will make over 200rwkw anyways.

Why would you bother going a sidemount? I know I wouldnt.

He will put the side mount in, boost it to 13psi, get about 200rwkw, drive it hard, either on street or track and the thing will suck, then he will want more power and he will have to rip the side mount out, and spend another $300odd and get a FMIC, when he should have just bought one in the first place.

Honestly, with prices of FMIC kits now, why would you bother with a side mount?

Meh no point arguing with these ppl abu.

Just state your opinion and let them decide.

Stiff shit if they don't want to listen.

Tell me about it.

It's like a temporary solution. No Point!

Ah well. Good luck with it all.

Thanks,

Abu

A few guys I know have run low 13 and even high 12s with a standard R33 intercooler. Not R34 upgrades, on the stock turbo. Doesn't seem that useless to me?

The r34 core is proven to flow efficiently to 220rwkw, so you can make over 200rwkw if you like.

My last R34 intercooler cost me $80.

ive got an r34 cooler on mine. only seeing about 190rwkw @ ~10psi. its doing its job fine. but now i want to get it tuned to 12psi, with a new exhaust setup. i'm thinking it will be safer with an fmic. so yeah r34 is kinda temporary. but it was a piss easy swap over, and pretty cheap.

If you are running a stock turbo or anything under 220rwkw (bonnet down) then there is no 'safety issue'. :glare:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
