Where 2 Go For Good Custom Intercoolers In Syd


Recommended Posts

Guest | hype^ |

hey guys..

well the time has come to get a FMIC for my 'line.

iv deceided to go with a custom job rather than a HKS etc.

i was wondering where is the best place in Syd to go for this..

i want it all fitted including cutting my front bar for better air flow.

i was considering Mick's Metal Craft..

any one hace any suggestions?:confused:

Unique Autosports

nismo.com.au

R33 Skyline GTST kit retail $1695 (i can better it)

600 x 300 x 75 polished intercooler

Alluminium polished pipework provided with kit as well as heavy duty silicone hose fittings and clamps.

Bolts on, only mods required are a hole under the washer bottle and a slight trim of the front bar.

Great intercoolers, i have fitted one and im more than happy with it

Ricol Automotive at Peakhurst and Mr Enforcer at chipping norton both do excellent coolers, you have the choice of alloy of mild steel plumbing. Ricol will chop and modify front bar if needed.

All parts and installation for around the $1500 mark. but people will often do it cheaper if you can do somethin for them...

my cooler is gettin done now for round $800 only because im tattooing the bloke for free.

so shop around....

Nick,

Are the UAS ones easy to fit yourself ?? I mean - I'm not useless with a shifter and a screwdriver, but I wouldn't want to get myself in the 5hit. I assume all the bits and pieces like hoses and clamps etc come with the kit ??

Any one know indicitive power gains with a cooler like this ??

Brendan: im the same. I like tinkering but im no JUN mechanic :uh-huh: The kit has everything. The only tools u will likely need are a air saw or hacksaw blade, some fine sand paper to smooth bar edges if trimming is required, drill with 3 inch hole saw bit screwdrivers/shifters.

Not hard at all... it does pay to have an extra pair of hands. Myself and cereal jacques fitted my cooler, we used the hoist and tools at UAS

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
