im guessing this has already been asked before, but ive noticed that new models are being released quite regularly

ive got roughly $600 - $700 (max) to spend on a front mount (not including installation) and not quite sure which brand to head towards

-ive looked at the cooling pro stealth series [$550(excluding delivery)] for a LEGAL option, but not too sure about the brand name, and the turbo lag from all the bends (is it really gonna be that bad?) And the look of one pipe coming down and around doesnt really give it that awesome front mount look

-ive also found a Trust - Greddy intercooler LS for $640 (delivered) which cuts through the firewall so ill be defectable (but atleast it looks mad and good brand)

any other good brands?? or good places to buy from??

thanx

I think you mean cuts through the inner guard mate, not the firewall, unless you plan on having your intercooler piping running through the cabin ;)

yea yea, sorry guys, im used to saying firewall coz i was just helping a mate do his sound system

and remeber no intercooler is legal as as far as the cops and epa are concerned, they alter emissions and so you need to be emmisions tested and also need an engineers certificate....

bit of a question for those in the know. with legality in mind, would a r34 sidemount be beneficial???

just curious to know because im also looking at a intercooler upgrade but dont want the harrasment

    • 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
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
