Greetings all,

Has anyone tried the GTR intake kit that PERFORMANCEWISE is selling on evil bay for $320 del.

Now before everyone jumps on the HKS or GREDDY $1200 bandwagon, i am looking for a simple solution to a split intercooler pipe that i have been quoted $250 for a replacement for.

Im only running 350 4whp on 13 psi and not chasing big numbers.

thanks in advance Liam.

yes i have one and its not bad at all, the hose clamps were quite good quality. Its not ubur expensive name brands quality but its ok.

Now the issues i had with it, the front intake pipe interfears with the adjustment of the power steering pump so keep that in mind. Also i had a strange issue with the idle after this as i have my ACC valve removed, resulted in having to play with the tune in the idle load cells as the air columb would collape and push its way back out the AFM, which caused the engine to stall when idling. As mentioned we got around this with 2 changes, one to the idle load cells as mentioned and the other was to use a longer intake pipe which i had to do anyway to get the pod into the cold air intake i have on the car.

But in saying that it is on and it works ok

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
