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.

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

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.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
