Hmm..looks very interesting as I'm looking to install a FMIC and run the piping back through the stock holes.

I reckon it might be a Chinese made cooler but who knows my guess is good as anyone atm.

Watch this space i guess...I let people know on here if I buy one

i think Just Jap sell these as well. Keen to see how it goes,

Hopefully the top pipe does point straight at/hit the LH front bumper reo mount

Well I hope not as well...but i'll post pics when I install it and if it does hit what I've done to get around it

*Update*

Just received the intercooler today...well what can I say....good ol' Chinese quality. But I'm complaining. From the pictures they have welded shut one end and then cut and added the other pipe on the side.

I'm going to get my tuner/best mate to have a look at it and check the welds. But from first inspection it looks alright...

In the box was the cooler only - Nothing else (just as I thought). I will be making custom pipes for the cooler anyways and looks like I'll have to make a custom mount.

that is not the same intercooler as advertised on their eBay page..

looks like a chopped up regular intercooler, and probably won't flow the best if that is the case

is there a palte welded between the 2 holes so that air actually goes through the core of the intercooler?

[BigDirtyJase]

If your talking inside the core...where the inlet and outlet pipes are - yeah there is a plate welded between the two holes. I can always get the end tanks remade a friend of mine can do them for me but I'll get it checked out first.

Well i guess it's a Chinese make - it's what you get (I know i use to sell intercoolers on ebay with a mate many moons ago and they all from China) and I has I have said to mates, I'm going to be the "Guinea Pig" and take the plunge and buy and install one. I will post pics up when I install it and tell you how it goes

*Which reminds me....gotta get my damn gauges installed*

I did chase it up with the seller and voiced my concern of the pic and what I got.

After speaking to him over the phone today while at work (gotta love calling stuff on company time) and he knows i'm not to happy. He told me he sold ones just like the pic and so and so...I told him basically what are we going to do?? Either I'm going to send it back and get a refund or come up with a resolution.

In the end we settled that he will refund half my money back ($140) which I should get in a couple of days

That's now twice I've been mucked around with ebay stuff - but I have this issue and my issue with the turbo timer i brought resolved fairly quickly and with little fuss (funny thing with the turbo timer i got - I got my refund and the item got sent back to me...weird)

I saw these intercoolers over a year ago on ebay, and am not convinced on a) quality, and b) internal air route

in this case I decided to keep searching, and found the Apexi intercooler suited for 180sx that uses return air feed stock holes

[TUFF_350]

Im looking @buying a FMIC very soon also,

id go with either the Just Jap one as they are a major sponsor of ours & ive read good things. But my next bet would be with the MONSTA branded ones, they look like quality:

Link doesn't work so type r33 intercooler in search & look for the MONSTA one
