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!

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
