Can you give any details about the condition of said cooler? Any major dings, what R series GT-R was it fitted to? Has it been flushed (ie. much oil vapour inside)?

Cheers

I'm sorry if this contravenes forums rules... Moderators, please feel free to do what you will to to this post.

But I feel that this is not an HKS intercooler. It is unlike ANY HKS intercooler in their current range... It's a different design, and all current range HKS intercoolers are polished.

I may be wrong and this may be an older HKS release, but I guess I just don't want anyone to buy this as an HKS intercooler if it isn't one.

Cheers,

Andrew.

Merli---> This intercooler is on its way from japan as we speak, and you need to remember that there were a hell of a lot more intercooler models released in japan, then the rest of the world ever saw. Now I am going on information given to me by one of my japanese suppliers, and he hasnt let me down yet.

I think we can safely say by looking at it, that is probably isnt in their current range. By looking at it, it is probably a few years old. This in no way hampers its condition, and just means it is probably an older model.

I really dont appreciate you thrying to say that this isnt HKS, when I have clearly stated previously that it is.

I own and run Japanese Import Partswww.JapaneseImportParts.com

and I have no reason to say a product is something that it is not. If I did, then my business wouldnt last very long, and I would not be able to continue to sponsor the Skylines Australia Forum.

Kristian,

I realise that you wouldn't appreciate my post. That's obvious. But please realise that it isn't a malicious post to try and stop you from your sale.

Rather, it is a post to try and stop somebody buying goods that aren't as advertised. We've had issues with people selling "HKS" or "NISMO N1" turbos on here before that have turned out (after some investigation into A/R ratios and photo evidence) that they were standard turbos. Can you imagine if you had bought those turbos under false advertising?

As I said in my post in this case, I AM NOT SURE, and this intercooler could very well be from an older range, but it is most definitely not from their current lineup.

Secondly, All HKS parts I have seen have HKS cast into the part, whether it be on the dump pipe, intercooler end tanks, exhaust, etc... Is this stamped/cast with HKS?

If this genuinely is an HKS product, you should be able to prove it (easily, since you are a business and all, and have access to much more data than the average bloke) and this thread can move on without any drama!

Cheers,

Andrew.

Not trying to start a biatch fight here and you seem to be bringing some good deals to the forums, but according to forum rules, shouldn't you be posting in the business section?

Merli---> It is a HKS 3 layer intercooler. It is currently in transit from Japan, as I stated earlier. When it gets here, I will take a photo of the HKS stamp on it.

It is quite simple. If someone buys it, and I deliver it to them, and it isnt HKS, they get their money back.

Hi Kristian

Wonder if you can give me a run down on it's condition now. Photos aren't quite big enough. Or is it best to wait for it to land? BTW, what's the ETA and what sort of $$$ to have shipped to Perth?

Thanks

Brendan

It is in good condition, no it hasnt been flushed, shipping to perth would be around $45. ETA, hopefully the container gets here, and unloaded before the docks shut down for christmas. otherwise, it will be first week in January.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well

      hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.

      It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...

      Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator.

      34 de+t conversion using s2 stagea automatic transmission, engine harness and ecu

      By albyz34gt · Posted

      Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
