Hey all, Im looking at putting a new cooler in my car.. Cause mine is looking pretty shot..

Im looking at putting a 600x300x100mm in my car.. the turbo will be running around 16psi when its all back together..

Its a R33, Minor mods... Power fc, Cams gears, 3" straight pipes with a varex, And a FMIC thats not looking to healthy

My only problem is i have heard.. with a bigger cooler you loose boost pressure if your running low boost, but my issue is.. what do you call low boost?

And is this just a myth?

I would personally go a 76mm cooler core, 100mm is way to thick. Also if your have a real thick intercooler, its harder from air to pass through and your radiator will recieve less air and then may have overheating problems. Save your money and get a 76mm core, you will probably notice a bit of lag with the 100mm core, because there is more area to fill, it takes longer.

Intercooler core design is the bigger issue - whether it is a tube and fine or bar n plate. Do a search for the differences.

When i was upgrading mine, i looked up and found that the tube and fin design is more effecient at cooling the charged air - however something to do with how it flows through the tank which affects radiator effeciency. 76 or 85mm wouldnt really make that much of a difference.

IMHO - I think that a 76mm tube n fin design would be more effecient then a 85/86mm bar n plate. Im using a tube n fin 85mm HDI fmic and I dont have any overheating issues at all.

Best to do your research before you think of buying anything. Good luck! :down:

Nope....tends to go bang with anything over 14-15psi being constantly pushed through it. Hi-flowed with a steel turbine wheel sure, but ceramic will simply discintegrate & part ways with the turbine housing & disappear into your exhaust somewhere....

Back to topic, get a Greddy, HKS, ARC, Blitz, Nismo, etc....76mm cooler.

If you are on a budget the cooling pro ones from just jap also do the job fine.

If you are not running at least 20PSI or higher then there is not point and a waste of money to buy a 100mm cooler.

As a comparison, many GTR owners out there are pushing 350AWKW with the stock cooler no probs!!!

Why would your car need a 100mm if its pushing no where near that? :P

Check out the SAU sponsers as they look after the members with good pricing.

    • 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.
