Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a nice sized cooler since the stockie is kinda pathetic.... Its measurements are 970 x 300 x 70...

My question for you is... am i going to be able to fit that behind the standard R33 Gts-t S2 standard front bar?

If yes then sweet :D otherwise, what bars does everybody recommend, I recently crashed the car so the front bar needs work anyways, so if i have to modify the standard one then thats no problems, just need to know soonish as ive had offeres on the standard bar if im going to get a new one :)

Here is a picture of it :)

sound slike someone is trying to sell you an ex truck cooler. Dont buy it. If it was a propper drag cooler it would be around 150 thick also. Bit unless u r pushing 900hp it would be useless anyway.

something around 600x300x70 will fit with a bit of cutting unless u have an aftermarket front bar.

have to understand that bigger AREN"T better, in most case, it is worse.. :thumbdwn:

Hey Dude;

i got my 600x300x90 into my r33 s1 typ M and it was a bit of a bitch. Had to mount it flush against the air radiator removing the original aircon thermo fan and built an entire new bonnet catch mounting bracket. Then i mounted two thermofans on the front of the cooler. You might get the 970 in if you are prepaired to hack away the entrie bumper suport brackets but then you have to watch out for the headlights and such. I say maybe but you better do a lot of measuring befor you start cutting.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
