Hey mate, we have the ISC kits available for $399 and the spec M for a touch over $600. The next step up in the trrust range is the spec v for approx $1350. If your not going for massive hp then the first 2 kits will be fine.

have a look at the new just jap kits that use the stock pipine, very cool!

i am looking at getting one of these, the only problem i have is that the factory piping is 2.25" (internal) and the one i have now is 2.5 and the core is both smaller and thinner trying to figure out how much difference it would make Vs the convience of not having to run the piping over the engine any more.

the just jap one is pretty decent looking, im running a similar setup now using stock piping.

however i will be upgrading to a just jap type 2 or mspec greddy because i plan on running a foward facing plenum, and boxing up my pod and using the hole from the standard intercooler piping to run a CAI.

keep that in mind when you purchase... if you buy an intercooler that retains factory piping you cant use it with a foward facing plenum, and it makes space tight for a cai setup

i have a justjap stealth kit that uses stock piping and imitates the ARC type. if you can search and find my post you will see how i did. honestly, for an extra hundred dollars i would highly advise to get the greddy (but i believe the justjap kits are now similar in price give or take a few dollars). im not sure how much blitz are now a days but they use stock piping as well and have a wider core than the ARC's. in saying so, save more and you can boast and make others blush by buying the ARC fmic.

like the guys above - buy your kit from a proper shop. the "made in china" kits will cause alot of propblems (from what i have seen and heard, welds have snapped under load due to poor craftmanship). what i mean is the weld joins at the core rattle apart. other kits works just as well as any other you can buy for a decent price that are manufactured to a good standard.

the real question(s) is/are:

do you want to drill extra holes for the return piping? if no, then get the blitz or ARC. if yes, then greddy.

do you want to take off a bit of your thermal fan? in my opinion, doesn't do anything to the thermal fans function if you chop it to fit the thicker cores.

do you want to drill an extra mounting hole on the bonnet latch? the justjap kits sit too high in my opinion if you see the pictures in one of my posts. if i were to lower it then it would look just like the blitz kits. so if you do not mind the extra work then get the justjap. if you do mind then again, get the blitz.

do you want a quality fmic? ofcourse you would, then buy a bloody reputable fmic! they are all simillar in price! buy one from a brand that has been around in japan for generations and know their stuff about performance cars!

i know you only asked whether to buy a greddy or hybrid so i would say - greddy hands down. but save that little bit more and get either the blitz or ARC. you will not regret it.

I bought the Greddy and am real happy with it... As long as your careful with the piping, you dont need to take any edges off the rad-fan at all... Mine clears no dramas...

The other nice thing is that if I ever sell the car, it has a genuine japanese hi-performance cooler on the fron which most people like...

considered buying one from a real shop?

Useless post of the century

sorry links dont work, genuine Hybrid is $550 and Trust/Greedy Type M is around $600

just jap ones that use the standard piping were around $550 which is the same as a whole kit

i know i have to cut a hole in engine bay and that i wont have to cut fan

what i wanted to know is does one of these simular priced intercoolers perform better than the other ?

i brought the greddy m spec and the blitz LM , and to be honest! i would buy both but because i live in melbourne and the area i live in, my car is a cop b8.. Having the greddy cooler will even make things worse because i would need to cut a hole! underneath my washer bottle, and the blitz LM fits bueatifully perfect and im being honest. but unforantaly when i got my EPA i got angy and took it off and sold it!

but unforantaly when i got my EPA i got angy and took it off and sold it!

I bet your kicking yourself!

Im looking at one for my R33, and they seem to be around the $1270-$1290NZD mark, shipped, so far with quotes from Nengun and Greenline. (and to make my post more Aussie friendly, about $1080AUD :D )

Anywhere else i could look? They are probly the cheapest.. but hey, cant hurt to shop.

i would recommend going into Autobarn or someplace like that.....i got my Trust Vspec kit for the price of Mspec they had a major stuff up.....but i am really really happy with this cooler.....really good and installation is easy as just a bit time consuming.....and my cooler clears the fans no problems...

Urgh, not Autobarn! Sorry, I have endless problems with them.

Even went there yesterday for pads for Nissan 4 pots. The salesman was very vague on where to start looking for them.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
