As title says I'm new to the skyline world. The forums are great, haven't spend this much time reading since...can't remember when.

Anyway, I'm about to become the owner of a nice R33 SII GTST. I'm looking at getting a fmic, looking around the forums the TMU boys seem to be

cracking down on chopping the body up for the intercooler piping. I know you can get en eng cert, but i'd rather not stuff around.

So what are my options? I see that justjap have a 'stealth' intercooler, where the pipes return to the same side. Tho there are some tight bends in it,

more lag?. But there is also a dual outlet core as well? I've done a few search's around the place and can't find out much about 'dual outlet' cores. What is

the performance difference etc? I think the dual outlet on justjap is 3" and the standard piping is 2.5"? so 3" to 2.5" silicon hose will do?

I dunno?

i'd go the stealth cooler if you wanted to keep the car legal but if you chuck on a pod as well it defeats the purpose of having a stealth cooler and get ready to be defected once pulled over.

the JJR stealth series intercooler is a wise choice...I don't beleive there is any tight bends (the only bend I can see is from the cooler itself (thus making it a turnflow) and shouldn't be any lag. but as jake said if you do get a pod filter, you just be defected as you can only have one intake mod BUT if you want to be sneaky about it get a cold airbox assembly like the they on Just Jap have for sale so then you have a pod but it's also sealed so all you're getting is cool air running into it

Interesting Signature you got there BigDirtyJase.

Go for the stealth intercooler setup and get it intalled professionaly and if you wanna upgrade the intake, just put a high flow panel filter. APexi, K&N filters, any.

yep stealth is the way to go !

oh wait think i remeber somthing about air bags ? if you car dont have them wont be to hard to pass it. but TMU wont care and defect you anyway.

i got a twin entry one. but too many people getting done for it, end of feb it should be off and up for sale and replaced for the stealth. so much stuffing around,

get it done right the first time !

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
