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'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
