Has anyone heard about the Greddy spec M front mount intercooler that is made in Taiwan (not Japan) ,Do you guys think that is geniune greddy if that cost $600 which is selling on ebay. I'm thinking to get one for my 33 and worry that is cheap fake ....A friend of mine said that intercooler is fake and better get a hybrid one. What u guys think??

the core is the same as the china coolers but the end-tanks are piping and trust items.

I personally buy it. ive have a china kit on my car and now ive upgrade to a trust kit and the difference is huge the piping fits perfectly and does not hit my bonnet or fan and the over-all quality of the kit is very good.

the reason why its cheaper than the other trust kit is because the core uses a bar and plate design compare to the other ones which are tube and fine

everything these days are made in Taiwan/china

even the sticker that say "MADE IN USA' are made in china

nothing is wrong with the product if it is made there

remember at one stage made in japan was like saying made in china

i dont think my Hks type s intercooler was made in china.

you will be surprises the amount of produces which are made in china, its purely to do with the cost of manufacturing. As its is cheaper to make something in China than USA/Australia/Japan etc etc

If you are worried about the ebay item being a genuine M Spec intercooler, there should be Greddy stamped in white on the top of the cooler but no where else. I should know I have Greddy M Spec intercooler. Some of the other Greddy coolers have "Greddy" stamped on the end tanks and possibly some of the piping but I don't know for sure

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.

      Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.

      Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).

      Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.

      Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
