i bought a hybrid kit with the 600x300x76 for my r33 and it works great. it is a tiny bit laggier than the stock cooler (with stock turbo) but it cools the inlet air alot better.

i have had a problem with the kit though, the top pipe returning the cooled air to the factory inlet piping runs infront of the radiator and gets very hot. this was wasting the good work that the cooler was doing and as a solution to this i bought some thermo-tec exhaust wrapand wrapped the intercooler piping in the engine bay and the piping from the turbo to where it goes into the front gaurd and i have found this to make the car seem more powerful (seat of my pants meter used) the car feels more consistantly powerful as before it was a little ordinary. i believe getting the heat away from this has given me a definite power boost. the pipe temp is noticeably different as now you can put your hand on the piping and leave it there after you have been driving whereas before you couldn't.

i intend to wrap the dump pipe until it is under the car too with the remaining wrap i still have.

se this link for pics of the cooler install... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/photopost...500&ppuser=5132

back to the subject the cooler itself works great!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
