Hey all,

I need help with deciding which intercooler i should go for.

I currently have the Greddy LS/type M kit on my ER34

I was thinking of purchasing a R34 GTR intercooler and have custom piping made.

Will have either a HKS GT-rs or 2835 hanging of the side soon

Power output i'm expecting would be 250-280 rwkws

Which of the two do you think would be better?

Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated

Basically, i'm more interested in knowing if the GTR intercooler will flow better? It will have custom pipe work that will return to factory pipes, unlike the sistuation at the moment.

what you have now is far more suited to your setup.

Your intercooler is superior to the GTR in flow. Have a look inside the GTR cooler and see how small the tubes are, for the life of me I don't know how they make the power. Mind you I'm not talking about cooling ability here as those same small tubes allow the cooler to scrub more heat out of the air. I just think for a street car that only uses small bursts of power that flow is more important since your chasing throttle response and power. I noticed a crisper throttle response from the Hybrid cooler when I changed it over from the Just Jap cooler. Seemed to have more torque and ran smoother in general and it wasn't just me as Luis from Drift Garage noticed the same thing.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
