Hey guys i have an R33 GTS-T and it has a stock intercooler (side mount) I'm tossing up wether to get an R34 side mount which is obviously ment to be better or an after market front mount... I am trying to keep cost down where possible but i do want it to be better... and i don't want any extra cop trouble as i use this car as my daily! if anyone has any comments it would be very helpful thanks. :P

if your not planning to run much more boost than stock, r34 sidemount is thicker and will provide that bit more cooling. that being said, you might as well go fmic now, not that expensive and can easily be made legal.

cheers!!! i have installed a turbo smart boost controller and i'm running it at about 12psi it seams to have no trouble holding that and i notice a huge difference!!! but i just want to make sure that it's not hurting my car when i flick the switch. and if i can turn it up a bit more i will... thats why i want a new intercooler... i don't know if there are any other mods on my car. but everyone that jumps into it think it's a bit faster than your usual stock r33... so i wonder........

i have found that my FMIC does a great job in the heat compared to my old R34 SMIC.....FMIC's are legal as i have gone through regency in the past with it on.....no issues there....and its a definite if your going to be running 12psi all day every day...

Speaking of intercoolers, where would some of yous suggest I go to get a front mount installed. Iv gone through the listings and I thought i'd ask for suggestions before I do the ring around.

Thanks, Nik

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
