R33 Gts-t Stock Intercooler

[cdw666]

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!

The R34 GTt side mount IC's are a little better than the R33 ones and you average insurance clot wouldn't know the difference .

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

Doesn't third party and third party property cover other cars hit by you? I thought comprehensive was only for your own car.

I'm not sure, never hit another car before.

definately go with a r34 side mount. a lil bigger than r33 one.

ive only got 3rd party. 750 with just car fire and theft. they wanted to charge me 3000 for full comp.

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.

$23K for a stag?

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!

sounds a bit dodgy to me
