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

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
