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.

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
