Is it much more laggy?

wouldnt the GTR cooler be better than this as its already that size if not bigger and flow better due to the bigger end tanks??

jet thank mate!!!! i just install the intercooler look mad feel mad....very nice looking thank...dude

so you just installed it?

Can you feel the difference... much lag?

I would imagin there would be a bit more lag from an rb20?

Ming come out for few runs this weekend.

We got DC5, 200sx, and Supra TT and maybe few others.

druzilla32, whether there is lag or not really depends on what sort of turbo you have and how your ECU is tuned. Its got nothign to do with the intercooler. I dont have any lag problem at all because my car is tuned.

The intercooler makes your pod sounds louder and nicer. It does not change the sound of your BOV.

I can show you mine if you live in sydney.

the only mods i have are catback (get my dump/front and highflow cat in a day or 2) pod filter and boost at 14psi. I dont mind if the turbo slowly shits itself as i plan to go bigger. I am aiming for about 180rwkw.

If i get a reading of 14psi without the fmic.. Will i get a higher reading after its hooked up, say 16psi? Should i turn the boost down then or is it ok cuz the turbo is still only pushing about 14psi..

I want it at about .9bar as i dont often hit boost during the day and at night rarely go over .6bar

If your using a bleed valve you will have to turn it down because the standard cooler drops a few psi where as the hybrid wont (i assume) So if you are running 14psi you turbo is proberby pushing 16/17psi just to make 14psi at the engine. If you have a controller you wont nedd to worry about it.

Jet,

Would you be able to summarise the DIY installation please, including info on cutting the fan blades/ front bumper bar if applicable.

I need to factor in the installation cost in case I can't do it myself.

Thanks mate.

oops forgot to ask you this, Jet.

I have the factory electric fan for the A/C unit, would this need to be moved/ modified for the intercooler fitment ?

eek.. i hope not... I havent realy thought about the stuff i may need to remove.. All i knew is that i wanted a fmic.. so i got one...

I havent seen it yet.. Its getting delivered today :) Im so excited.

So yer, what has to be removed for the cooler?

Any other hints for installation you may want to share? Im gona give it a chop on the weekend.

I fitted my hybrid to my r32 last weekend the only things i needed to modify were:

1. The fanblades and shroud need to be trimmed for the top pipe to fit.

2. Both top pipe and the cooler bottom brackets were way off so i had to make my own.

3.Had to give my gtr front bar a haircut for that to fit properly too.

Other than that it was all good. Took about 8 hours and 10 beers :) It was the first one i'd done.

Well done Ronin. It took me the same time for my r33.

You car will breath much healthier now. Did you notice much power difference?

Pls go to the link below to get some picture. Although its for R33 but it will fit a r34.

i put mine on last saturday.. started at 12 finished at 6.. That included playing a few card games and some pizza :)

I can realy notice the difference when i am by myself at night time... it seems to hold boost a lot better now.. from 4500rmp onwards its way better, + i seem to get better fuel consumption, ALSO i cant hear my car missfire anymore.

I didnt have to trim the front bar or anything. I just moved the horns up a bit.

I will post some pics of it later.. looks awesome. Thanks Jet!

    • 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?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
