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..

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
