hi gangs...

first thing first, i did use the search button for intercooler but could not find what i was looking for...

now, im looking to up-grade my intercooler soon, budget, $600-700 for a decent kit...

i rang up access autoworks, vermont, and they only got the type R's and too expensive for my pocket..

i did some research again, and saw JJR's intercooler for a very cheap price at $550 its the cooling pro stealth, now i dont knw if anyone tried this cooler before for r34 gtt?? is it any good?? im only after for a 300rwkw intercooler or less..

and anyone can point me a genuine hybrid intercooler here in victoria?? shops that sells hybrids cooler??

cheers guys..

ask them for price for supplied and fitted FMIC to suit ER34

any core they supply and fit will be fine and of high quality

cheers paul....chasers at footscray do they have it too??..anyways ill ring around...

thanx paul;

I run a Hybrid (HDi) intercooler on my 34, and ran a Hybrid on my old 33 (Joeyjoejoe's car). I bought them both from Flyn (http://www.flyn.com.au/). Decent price, quick delivery. Not sure about now though, this was a while ago. Check em out.

dont waste your money on coolers just coz of their brand names

ive tried arc, trust and now hpi and only difference between em is the hpi one is a tiny bit more laggy coz of the longer piping

unless your pushing some serious power you wont feel much difference

i think.

wow..thats a nice cooler too...i might ring just jap for that...but hate waiting for product from other place...argg...oh well...see how i go..

cheers for that RBPOWA...

The difference with ARC and some other coolers in not having to butcher your front bar reo and front bar to fit them. I've fitted and ARC on my R34 and the Blitz cooler shown on a friends R34 and it required significantly more reo and bar removed (depending if it's a stock bat or a sports bar). In an accident the reo matters big time. Believe me when I say even the smallest amount cut out of them makes a BIG difference. ARC also have much thinner cores and piping which gives better response.

In saying that, the price of a Blitz cooler compared to an ARC is pretty damn attractive.

yeah i got the stealth cooler from justjap, havent put it on yet (getting it painted)

but iv heard good things, theres a massive thread on it here somewhere

with install pics n lots of comments

check justjap again, cos i noticed they got a new Blitz cooler...bit more $$$

but looks very similar

cheers guys for the response....

kinda leaning towards cooling pro stealth, if not much difference tho compare to BLITZ one, or might go with un-name brands or something...

im not really chasing a big number not for a lil while..its my daily drive ...but im "ITCHING" at the same time to get my FMIC done ASAP including my Fuel pump and up the boost to 12 PSI...if i can find today a decent and reasonable price cooler at any shops, i might get everything done this coming friday(11th sept.) if Chasers are not busy to install my sh*t...

just getting bored with my 175rwkw at the moment..lolz..

wish me luck fellas..

are you sure you want to push 12 psi through a r34 turbo? i always thought that with the nylon wheel they arent as tuff and cant handle as much boost as the r33 turbo's. im no expert though, im just going by what i was told.

well, ii have read a lot of topic about stock r34 gtt turbo as to how much it can handle its stock turbo, im running 10PSI at the moment, which is very safe (and getting quite bored at it), but if i do decide to boost it up to 12 pounds, i dont always have it on at 12 pounds everyday, anyday...and i only use my car to drive to work, never done drag strips or tracks or any kind..and if i decided to give the car a hard time, it will be once or twice a week, depending on the streets (if any smartasses try to be a hero next to me)..lolz...

but yeah under 1 bar should be ok...appoved by few mechanics i knw who done er34 before in their shops..

if turbo decided to give up on me, then thats another excuse to up-grade to a bigger one, i supposed, but hope not too soon..lolz..

cheers anyways...

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
