im pretty sure all series of the 33's use the same cooler and yes the 34's are taller and thicker which means an increase in working capacity. they are a direct bolt on. I have one on my series 1.5 if that makes any difference and i think its a good simple upgrade.

around an 18% upgrade by memory (in larger area size)

definately a bolt on "upgrade" modification

however I feel the prices for the units are overly inflated.

Don't waste your time. The amount of messing around required to fit it plus the fact that everyone charges way too much for them means you're better off getting a front mount.

How do you figure that? They're a direct bolt on and they're frequently sold on these forums for around $100-150.

Doesn't the cold pipe come out of the opposite side of the cooler compared to the R32/R33?

My mate has done this... it's a direct bolt on as the R34 side-mount is only a fraction larger... however, unnoticeable difference imo - although it is a cheap upgrade - I would spend the buck and get a front mount - performs better and looks better too.

Installation will cost you around $70 if that and the intercooler themselves can be picked up from sources on here or wreckers for around $250 from memory - I was going to do this but decided to spend the cash for a front mount. Up to you mate - good luck.

Seriously, have any of you done this? One of the people saying not to do it drives an S14 LOL. if you are sober, hour job to do, 23% increase in size/flow... i had no rise in boost at the plenum but alot more response read this how-to: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...age-t69501.html

if aiming for ~210rwkw, i would do it, and they are in demand, so i would do it even if you change later. better than cheap chinese FMIC's, legal(er), and doesn't restrict flow to your radiator so better over summer. I found less eaily heat-soaked than the 33(stagea) cooler, so i reccommend it.
