I heard the trust type M dont need the fan blades to be cut.. Obviously you will still need to cut a hole for the piping on the side..

Or you could get return type coolers such as ARC.. But will be expensive..

Otherwise most cheap copies, will require you to cut a bit of the fan blades..

Correct siddr20, the Trust ones don't need the blades cut nor do the GReddy's but I beleive they are the exact same just rebadged

So your sure that the Trust/GReddy ones don't need to be cut? even for the NEO RB25?

series 1 r33 here and i installed a JJR intercooler kit...didnt have to trim the fan blade and it doesn hit either...even underload

i believe the s2 is the same deal...although some people say that it hit, some say it didnt. If it doesnt have clearance you can always gently notch in a small dint in the underneath of the piping with a peice of wood to make it clear....someone i know did that and it clears now and no need for fan triming :rolleyes:

Just a get a Blitz LM cooler or ARC, with return piping so no need to cut holes or fan. And it should run more efficient since it doesnt sit above the rocker cover or radiator.

ok, noob question.. Return piping?? I've heard ARC are sweet intercoolers, but what is return piping???

Yep, BLiTZ M is good, thats what I have on my R32, well whats going ON my R32.

Attached a picture for you noob :thumbsup:

Thats the cooler that will be going on my R32, you can see how the piping comes to the one side.

Return flow is when the piping runs to one side of the car, and up into the engine bay the same way the stock I/C piping does.

I'm gunna jump on the wagon too..

I also have R33 GTST S2, 40th anniverssary (though pretty sure it's the same)

Was thinking of getting greddy 300x600x76.

Should I expect any increase in lag with this cooler?

If so is it worth changing to the R34 GTT one?

I dont plan on going crazy with mods for more power in the near future, maybe just a pod filter and I already have 3" exhaust.

Also any other basic tips would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance!

i've certainly noticed more lag after installing my fmic - eventually i'd like to go to a front facing plenum to reduce the pipe-maze a bit and see if it helps. also am going to wrap my return pipe in front of the radiator in heat-proof shielding to see how that goes cos that pipe gets stupid hot!

oh also have a jjr fmic and just bent the bracket that the return pipe uses to attach to the engine so it clears the blades - looks a little ghetto but looks aren't my concern.

Thanks guys..

I am also taking into consideration that I live in Alice Springs and it gets DAMN hot and dry. I don't know how this will affect my car...any ideas? I don't think it will be too much of a problem, maybe just a little loss of power..

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
