This is one serious low mount package that can feed (and cool) enough air for 600 rwhp and a 10second pass. I spent a LONG time getting this together and developing a monster street/strip setup. The only reason that I changed is my latest fad for track and motorkhana which requires a completely different and lower power set-up.

The above parts are less than 5,000 km old and are in great condition.

OK - let's start with the turbo side of things.....

The GT-RS terbs are well known for big power applications. These are in great condition as evident by the unworn compressor turbines as seen below:

Note that these also have brand new actuators fitted.

What is not so well known is that these terbs are prone to "shuffle" at part throttle. Using a bridged type manifold helps greatly in reducing this.

The bridge also fouls the standard factory water coolant lines, so I had Earles lines and fittings made up as shown in the first pic above.

Now - onto the intercooler. This thing really is a monster and it's a shame that Apexi have stopped making these bar and plate units. This is in basically new condition and comes complete with blow off return pipe (replaces the small factory plastic tube).

I really can't say much more except this has a 600x280mm front area with a massive 136mm thickness:

To ensure maximum airflow, we made up a stainless connector from the intercooler to the 100mm Greddy plenum. This includes a vent pipe to connect to the Apexi blow off return pipe:

And finally the Greddy plenum. This has been highly polished and is in perfect order:

I really prefer to sell this kit as a whole, and for that reason I won't split this up unless I really have to. When/if I do split this, the separate prices will total much more than $3k I can assure you (have offers already in Perth for IC and terbs).

The sale price of $3,000 is excellent value and with the addition of some silicone joiners, clamps and gaskets, this is a straight bolt on affair.

Prefer local pick-up but will pack and send at cost to anywhere in Oz.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
