Hi all, i have bought an ARC 135mm racing intercooler. Currently I run an ARC 105mm intercooler. I remember i when i installed the 105, there was a quite little bit to chop off both the bar and the reo. I'm a little concerned now, is 135mm possible? Will she be able to take it? Can you please share your experiences with thickness? How did you deal with it? How much blood sweat and tears were involved? and what did she look like afterwards? Pictures of yours would be great!

Hi i dont have pics but i can say that i installed a 149mm trust tube and fin cooler on the R32 GTR had to shave the inside of the bar to suit which really wasnt that hard, the reo has to be shaved also along the outer edges where the cooler tanks are but again with a small grinder and a little patience you can achieve it easily. Took me 4.5 hrs to cut bar and reo do some dummy fitting etc.

Hope this helps good luck.

On a side note Atomic Bomber Man, is your current 105mm thick core twin entry? and also would you be looking at selling the core :D

It should be sweet though, air saws are wonderful things ;)

I ran an Apexi GT Drag Intercooler on my R33 which had a core thickness of 136mm and had no problems.

There was some trimming needed but the factory bar went back on and I was also able to refit the factory mesh.

mr gtr, is it possible to get pics? does it stick out ver far? i am more concerned about the look of it. i have a feeling it might look a bit funny. ie the cooler protrudes through the hole it should be sitting behind! :D

weapon, the i/c is not twin entry, and i have already sold it to a friend. fantastic looking bit of gear they are. well designed too!

does anyone have pictures of thick ones?

atomicbomberman i will try and dig up pics of the cooler installation, i shaved the reo bar and its still all there in perfect condition, the cooler looks fine does not come forward thats the whole reason of shaving the reo bar at the required angles to accomodate the thicker cooler tanks. In regards to the air con fan i did have this probelm but was able to keep mine with some gentle persuasion i was able to slightly push forward the metal grille shrouding so that the fan would not rub on it as i was not going to sacrifice not having a/c. The fan will be only 5mm away from the cooler but will pass i have never posted up pics on the forum as im not very computer literate but if you pm me your mobile phone number i can sms some pics with my phone to you so you can get the idea.

cheers,

Dave.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
