hi guys, i have a 96 series 2 r33 GTS-t. Currently, it has a aftermarket front mount intercooler. However, due to insurance, i have to change it to the stock intercooler. My only other modification is a pod filter and a muffler. As such, is changing over to a stock intercooler drop the performance much??? (sorry if i sound like a noob, as i am one.)

thanks

Not particularly since you aren't running higher than stock boost, you will probably notice a dip in response though.

Personally i dont think insurance is worth it on these cars, just car is the only company that will insure me and i was quoted 2800 for comprehensive, then theres the massive excess aswell.

Cheaper to buy second hand parts and fix it yourself!

and if you hit a bently?

lol. 3rd party ftw! full comp for me was $3.5k.. by being careful in the 6 months ive had my car... there's $1750 saved already for parts IF i have a bingle.. not to mention the heinous excess justcars charge

only one problem if you have 3rd party and sumone else hits you and they do not admit fault your insuranance will not chase em up so your left to fix yourself, dats wat happened with my old car some truck driver went into my lane and went through da side of my car and said its not his fault he didnt and my insurance said its your problem making him pay since your only 3rd party

Just Cars full comp.. $1350 FTW... (with mild mods)

and the insurance + excess = nowhere near the car's cost of replacement..

it's so high cause all these boy racers think they are gods gift to cars..

shannons for me is $650 per year.

insurance value is $13K but I'm 31 years old.

excess is $400

back to the topic, stock cooler will be fine.

R34 GTT stock cooler would be better.

^ exact same, bar $750 per year $ 23k value >_<

Not particularly since you aren't running higher than stock boost, you will probably notice a dip in response though.

Actually your response will be a lot better with the smaller cooler on it. Put an r34 smic on it and wind up the boost a little.

PS: i have one for sale!

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated!
