Hey,

Ive been looking around at Intercoolers and was thinking of ordering one from Justjap? I was just wondering if there is much difference between the intercoolers? Is there much performance difference? Will one type of Intercooler fit better on the R33? I have a R33 Series 1 front bar...

The intercoolers on the justjap website are the:

HPI Intercooler Kit - Nissan Skyline ECR33 - Price: $699

Cooling-Pro Type 1 Intercooler Kit - Skyline R33 GTS-T - Price: $449

Website with Pics: http://www.justjap.com/parts_nintercoolers.htm

Thanks! :thumbsup:

marginal performance difference and probably not noticable on the road, dyno yes, both intercoolers are very similar in design.

I personally prefer the HPI one because of the mounting brackets.

Just fitted a GReddy Type M front mount kit and it looks the goods and works fricken well. Had it on the dyno and it was making 15more bhp then before. can feel the difference in pipe temps on each side of the cooler.

Thanks for that! :yes:

Might check out a few magazines this afternoon....

With the mounting brackets, is that what makes it a easy install or a hard install? I just dont wanna get a intercooler kit that will be a mission to fit on, lol

i have a Greddy cooler as well its a tube and fin core and yes you can notice the pipe temp difference and it should easily fit with the series 1 front bar with no major chopping.....i havnt put mine on a dyno yet but have noticed the difference.....Greddy supply the full kit and are generally good....

The JJR kit has a Generic core so you have to bolt model specific brackets on to make it fit, after time bolts tend to get loose and you'll have a wonky FMIC, the HPI & other Jap kits have model specific FMIC kits where the brackets are actually welded on.

if your on a buget and not aiming for extremely high power, just get the JJR kit, save yourself the money on something else, perhaps an oil cooler?

You sir, are an idiot.

They'll let anyone advertise what ever they want in the mag as long as they pay!

Plus Hot4s and FF know nothing on cars.

      To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...

      Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.

      Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
