My mate has an ARC 'cooler on his M35.

Straight swap for OE.... expensive though :(

There are a few kits available (in order or price) from Greddy (Spec V, Spec R), ARC and Dolphin.

There are probably more, but I cannot think of them off the top of my head.

As far as I know, the Greddy 'coolers need some cutting to fit, but the Dolphin is a slimmer design and fits without cutting (from memory).

As stated the ARC is a straight swap for the stockie.

If you don't want to spend that kind of money, I suppose you could take the dimensions of any of these and duplicate whichever you like.

Can't guarantee the custom job would cool the same though.

NRVOUS has installed a Greddy V-spec intercooler on his Axis.

Looks like it fit fine with the fan.

The ARC intercooler does not require any changes to any existing parts to be installed, so the fan is fine with one of these.

You will find more answers on page 7 of that same thread (please read).

I asked NRVOUS how much stuffing around there was when installing the 'cooler, this was his response;

"Like most of these intercooler kits, there's always a little bit of trimming to be done here and there, the reo bar needed some aluminium shaved off at both ends where the intercooler end tanks finish and slots for the stock cooler needed top be cut off so the Greddy clears nicley......now its sits perfectly behind the Bar"

Hope that put's your mind at ease.

do you have any links or other info on the ARC....or where I can get one from?

Sure mate.

Expensive though :(

Autobarn down here can get one (was quoted ~$2k in Sept last year)

for NM35 Stagea (10/01-7/04)

ARC Part # M103NM35G04

Thickness: 100mm

Purchase price (new) ¥136600

RMS Motorsport (sponsor here) can get it in no probs.

www.fortyone.co.nz can get them in 10 days ($3400NZD though :( )

You can see it cheekily peeping out the opening in my mate's front bar here.

Couldn't add to above post, but here are the dimensions of the Dolphin intercooler

h180mm x w680mm x d70mm

Don't know the part number sorry, bu it is manufactured by Freeway and is supposedly comparable to ARC build/cooling wise

155400 yen new.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
