I am debating with my mechanic which Intercooler i should run on my RB26 coupe skyline. It is running a single turbo (TD06SH-25G 10CM2) And He say's to leave the stock intercooler off a R33 GT-R ( Racepace ) And that putting on a aftermarket intercooler can sometimes turn everything backwards (result wise)

Now i know the GT-R intercooler i have now is slightly heavy, But i can get a cheap Blitz LM kit to suit my car. They are both tube and fin.

Which one do you think will drop my intake temps more???? And what are the Pro's and Con's of a GT-R Intercooler (R33)

Much appreciated for further help

Hold on, Just let me clarify, Racepace is your mechanic?

If so, and he is advising you to do something, just do it. There are SO many people on SAU with racepace motors/cars/etc that are all very happy with him.

Well i basically want to compare them Temperature wise, Which one would cool the air better at the end of the tank. Flow would be similar id assume as the design is quite the same

Thanks anyway i think ill stick with the standard Intercooler for now as id be wasting my money buying a Blitz LM!

IMO you would be wasting your money going to a Blitz LM. The stock GTR ones are fine and flow/cool enough as is unless they are gunked up from oil etc etc. In that case if your so worried, id get your GTR one completely cleaned and flow tested and she will be as good as new.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
