Hi all.

I have been searching arouund just jap for intercoolers for my r34 GTT and dont know what the difference is, theres one on there for my particular car for $399.00. its a cooling pro type 1 kit, has anybody bought or know anything about these?? It has a 12 month warranty on it, do you think i should give it a go?? How much roughly do they cost to install and does anybody know anywhere in perth?

Mate come on, please start to use the search feature.

Fair enough one thread without searching - but a thread on a well known, covered product that also comes from a site sponsor?

Looks like China spec. Decent ones cost more than that new.

just jap coolers are good for price

type 1 is a bar and plate cooler they take longer to become heatsoaked than the tube and fin (or type 2)

but take longer to disperce heat after becoming heat soaked they also weigh twice as much as tube and fin

but they are a decent quality cooler i know many people that run them with no a problem 1 is on a 300 rwkw s15

Just for reference.

A friend has a R32 GTR with GT2530s, bigger injectors, E85 fuel and Haltech ECU. Everything else is stock including the cooler.

Made 365awkw all day long. Now that summer has arrived he replaced the cooler with a stock R34 GTR cooler and with just the swap an 1psi more boost makes 385awkw.

Nothing wrong with stock GTR coolers.

I would just get the one that's within your budget.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
