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.

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛

      The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
