Hi, I've been looking for a cooler for my R34 GT-T for the past couple of months now and it seems that the pick of the bunch is the ARC cooler kit. Very light weight and thier construction is excellent. Only problem is finding a resonably priced one is harder. The best price I've come across so far is $1950 shipped to Melb which I think is quite good.

Does anyone else run ARC coolers and what are thier views?

Does anyone know of a dealer or website that I could get a nicely priced unit form? Cheers guys.

Can I ask Adz, why you are doing it? It's just that a few people have told me that I don't need to do it with a 34 so early in the modding cycle (if such a term exists!).

What have you done to it so far?

I remember when you got it I think, so I'm guessing we are at a similar point unless you had some stuff already done when you got it.

Abo bob - Well as far as engine mods go I have a Power FC, AVC-r, 3" FrontDump and a high-flow Cat so next item is a cooler so I can up the boost. It will also provide better cooling for a future turbine upgrade. I've heard the stock coolers are quite good but I'd prefer not to risk it personaly.

Blitz - They only have one model which wont suite the ER34 and it's $2400+

You have been a busy boy ;)

What front/dump did you get and how much did it cost? I haven't done that yet.

Whoops, bit off topic. Sorry. I'm trying to procure as much info as possible out of GTT owners to help myself as well as the next people through the door. It would be so much easier, information wise, to own a 33.

We have some r34 arc coolers in stock at BMT. Just go to 1/factory 7 Culverlands Street, West Heildelberg. Ask for Andrew and he'll give you a better deal, just tell him you spoke to Damian. Should be able to do better than 1750. Youre talking about the arc cooler kit that fits where the factory one is right??? not the front mount one.

We Can Have That Ordered , But The Tope Of The Range One (103mm) Is Very Dear. You Looking Around 3500aud Easy. Better Off Getting The 70mm One Which Is Around 2500aud. We Have A The One That Bolts Into The Factory Position Which Is About 1650aud Fitted Which We Have In Stock

Hey Damian,

It's Eugene, the guy who came down and picked up your body parts and cf bonnet. How's the S15 going? The cf bonnet on my car looks great.

Thanks for the deal. Pleasure to do business with you.

Here's a pic.

HAHAHA hey eugene, glad you like it. Nice plates. Let me know if you need anything as far as parts ok? I have a bolt on turbo and stainless mainfold (brand new) 450HP roller garrett kit FS. Let me know if you interested - Ive only got two kits in stock. very cheap (under 2200 including manifold).

BMT - Arc have no replacment kit for a stock cooler on an ER34. The price I have is for a 70mm Front mount kit in Australia not imported through a web-site, I was quoted buy you a while ago, think it was round $2200ish, No offence but you prices are far to expensive... :P

mmmm that nice to know adz, glad you know ARC so well, Pity you are so ill informed about their product line and rely on their website for reference. If you come to my shop you will see that ARC do in fact make a standard position cooler kit for a r34gtt. Keep shopping around bro, but if you can find a 70mm fmic kit for your gtt that includes fitting/installation and a tune on the dyno under 2500.........please let me know. Obviously you know heaps more than me about pricing/tax/freight/logistics, maybe i might get you to run the show at BMT Motorsports. Cheers. have a great day.

Guys, can we stop whoring please, its a simple question about an intercooler.

Damian, if your advertising your prices in the general forum, I think you should expect that people may comment on them. Adam wasn't clear in which IC he was after but did say he wanted the 'kit' which I beleive has the cooler (260 x 600 x 70) and piping, not the factory replacement cooler.

Anyway back on topic... any more luck Adam or $1950 still your best quote?

Look like I said no offence was intended but weather they make a kit for the original position is really of no importance for me. I have been quoted $1795 for a front mount cooler kit. I have in fact been by your shop many times and it was your shop I first saw the kit at so I do in fact know what I’m talking about, thanks for the concern

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
