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!

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
