why not buy a second hand cooler from a ford xr6 turbo; the geometry of the end tanks make it able to utilize the stock pipes.

Painting it black and you will have something very stealthy and provide the cooling u need.

get an 34gtt cooler, its bigger and a direct swap. dont pay too much for it though.

What he said ^^^ will hold you over till 220rwkw roughly.

bout $200-$250 and remember to clean it before install.

50/50 kero and water is what i used.gets heaps of black stuff out.

^+1 for the cleaning, i cintend to clean mine once every year or so (dont drive my girl much) and i have black pipes to, they never even mention it,

you wont make over 200 with 10psi so this set up would be fine unless oyu get a aftermarket Turbo

Forget the hype in this thread.

The stock cooler will be fine. Its not 'ideal', but then rarely in the world do you get ideal everything? :cheers:

It wont kill the motor or anything like that. It'll just result in a little less power.

If you go for more boost, bigger turbo etc, then id change it but 10psi, it'll be fine. Id be more worried about the ECU having a fit, although warmer climate you should be ok

A GT-t cooler is a good swap-over upgrade if you do plan on a bit more, retaining factory position and legalities for the most part as you'll never get pinned for a mild upgrade like that

lol.....hey so do these units fit without me chopping my reo bar or even my stock spec M bar? would be interested if it did.

yeh they do.

you (or the person installing the cooler) would need to make a few mounting brackets and bolt them to the reo to hold the cooler in place, and then the remaining piping obviously... but that's is it.

a couple of holes in to the reo to hold the cooler in place is all that needs cutting (well drilling).

i'll be getting the R-34 GT-T cooler which was recommended but what do you mean i should be more worried about my ECU having a fit?would winding the boost screw around with my ECU?

do i have to get a aftermarket ECU and get it tuned cause i wouldnt want to do anything to my baby which might mess it up.

anything below 10 psi usually seems to be fine.

sometimes 10psi and usually anything over that causes the ecu to go in to a rich and retard state.

basically to you it means when you floor it and the revs get to about 4500rpm, it feels like it cuts out or misfires or loses power etc.

it's not nice.

a remap ($350+ ) is the cheapest option to resolve this..

search for thread by user TOSHI for remap info.

Good to hear :)

Spend some of that saved money in a SAU-Vic membership ;)

Ye as GTS-T said - he covered most of it.

Its hard to say as every car and ECU seems to behave differently.

Simply put, if you do start to get a flatspot around 4500rpm, then just back the boost off 1psi at a time till it goes away and you'll get around it that way.

You can also setup a waterspray kit too for the GT-t cooler. There is a DIY Guide on how to do it and i believe costs less than $80 :)

How much benefits it has however is debateable, but in a hotter climate i could see potential use more so than a cooler one

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it

      Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is [email protected]

      By Kapr · Posted

      So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks!
