Which intercooler to pick for a R34 GT-T

[Sydneykid]

Hi Adzmax, we have found standard R34 GTR intercoolers good up to 300 rwkw. Cheaper and far more durable than other alternatives.

get a blitz lm series cooler kit for ur car

i just got one for my 32 and am very happi with it

abit dear but its worth the money n quality

u get the bolt on kit where u dont need to cut anything

pipes go back to the stock cooler

Hi I fitted a Blitz to my R34 and it works a treat.The pipes plumb back into the original holes it does not go over the top of the fan.

A bit of cutting on the front bar but other then that pretty easy to install.

Got mine from Auto Barn as they are the agents now for Blitz.

Yeah but GT-R coolers lack the BLiNG you get from a big HKS or Trust unit.

Oh and ARC coolers look like truck units... unpolished and not too impressive looking.

If you're after a bling bling cooler then just get a custom 900 long cooler with fully sick polished end tanks bro!

Why waste your money Adzmax? You've already for the GTR intercooler. Use it son! hehehe

The GT-R cooler is a great relatively inexpensive solution. It cools good, looks stealth and IMO is as good as A/M units.

I know what you mean. Has anyone had a GTR cooler fitted? What sort of money did you pay for pipes and fitting?

$400+

That's the rub. Custom piping could be expensive.

Ok look at it this way. GTR cooler $700 plus fitting and pipes $400 round about = $1100. HKS Type-S with pipes to stock to stock position is $1400 and can be self installed. It's damn close.

ive put a GTR R34 /GREDDY cooler in mine who ever says that it will straight fit means they havent put one on (a R32)

[adznight]

Ok just got off the phone then and was told R34's are a pain in the arse to fit coolers in and I'd be looking at about $700 for pipes and fitting. Thats going over the engine too! so $1400, same price as a HKS cooler BUT it is already fitted for that price I guess. Hmmmm Decesions decesions.....

[NIZR34GTT]

Adzmax we fitted the cooler in about 4 hours there is a bit of mucking about.

Main problem is the metal brace across the grill that has to be cut a little to fit the cooler.But if you have an angle grinder it is no problem.Also the front bumper has to be cut back slightly ,but I supose it depends on the type you have on your car.

All in all a pretty simple fit.

Just purchased the complete Blitz Cooler kit and away we went,took about 4 hours,we did not rush the job.

The piping connects directly back to the original piping.

Where are you located?

[adznight]

Yeah they look like a nice kit. I'm in Melbourne.

[NIZR34GTT]

Adzmax, Reason I asked where you were I would have shown you how to install it.

[ER34GTT]

I live in Melbourne, I have a Blitz 12330 kit fitted to my R34. your welcom to have a look at the fit if you wish. its a 3 to 4 hr walk in the park fit and its good for up to 650HP. If I can fit it any one can!

[adznight]

NIZR34GTT - Thanks for the offer mate.

ER34GTT - Yeah the blitz kits are pretty damn nice. They look good, the pipes fit well and they are good for heaps of power! What did you pay for your kit if you dont mind me asking?

[GZ R33]

I had to upgrade to the HKS GT Spec, cost a fair bit but it's the last intercooler I will ever buy.

[adznight]

Decided to dig this old thread up just to say thanks for all the help!

I decided on an ARC cooler kit, Installed it myself and I must say it's a really sweet design. Very small amount of cutting to be done and pipe work is very neat as the pics show!

[Guest r34gttblack]

hey adz,

if you dont me asking, where did you pick up the arc fmic from?

enjoy your ride dude.
