Where is the best place price wise to hook up a front mount? Greddy or Hybrid or does it even matter?

Would there be any difficulty in installing it in an 96 S2 R33 GTS-t? I need to take the horn out of that space and re-position already

I dont want to get dicked over on an install price either- Hence, dont anyone reply with 'take it to Car Toys' haha

Cheers!

take it to car toys hahaha.....joking

umm generally brand name coolers tend to work a bit better IMHO and as regards to fitting most of the coolers are quiet easy to DIY...there are a few threads about them in the DIY section i would think.....in my 33 i had to reposition the Horn but only had to flip it over from where it was mounted before...best places to look for coolers would be on the traders on SAU like Just Jap then the next best bet would be autobarn.....they tend to sometimes have those coolers for a nice price....specially the one at gillies plain or holden hill.....

Most import garages would be able to get a decent price on fitting if you would like it to be done by mechanics

Good luck mate

Thanks for the info mate. Its good to know you can just flip the horn over. I remember seeing a while back Greddy's advertised at autobahn for like $800 for the part. Will suss it out. Did you notice genuine improvement in horsepower and performance after installation?

i picked mine up for $600 thats when the $ was good value lol.....I did notice that the car was running a lot better....horsepower wise i didnt feel a great deal if any....but its to cool air not to force air lol......in the summer you can definately feel it working and ohh it loves the winter chills.....so i reackon that is definately a good investement

Greddy is what i have as well and according to them its not a big pressure drop either and IMHO they work a lot better then those Hybrid types...$800 seems to be general price for coolers now days....

If i was you, and either didnt have the confidence/time to be fitting it yourself, head to JustJap.com, grab a cooler from there, they do fit well enough, and spend maybe 2-300 on fitting. theres the price of 1 greddy cooler.

Sweet. I was trying to get one for summer but didnt end up with the cash. Reckon I will hook one up in the coming months. Cheers

ill be getting a HDI Intercooler from Exhaust Technology....i think its like $850 and they can install it for you aswell and i dont think it is much more to do that

Is that the GT or RS core?

HDI GT kits go for 500-550ish where as the RS (100mm) goes for 700ish.

850 imo is a little pricey.

I had an RS HDI in my R and paid 1/2 that price for the cooler without the pipes......used my own pipes

HDI Intercoolers (RS)

after seeing a lot of shitty cooler kits and how badly they can fit, id recomend the greddy type m for vaule, fitment and quality.

isc can get you one at a decent enough price.

Thats exactly what i was trying to get to...my Greddy kit bolts straight up and no hassles...so if fitment and quality you want mate then go with a brand name cooler

is there a cooler that will fit a r33 gtst without no hasstles? like no cuts or nothing?

my current cooler is greddy, but reo bar is cut.

ummmm, R34 Sidemount. All others will require cutting and drilling of some sort. The one i bought through a mate at work was supposed to be hassle free as it used the stock plumbing, was wrong. Sure it used the stock plumbing, but i had to but up my foglight housing to get the piping to fit from the cooler to the stock plumbing.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
