I should be getting the 31 at least tomorrow night.. but its going to need a few things done before its on the road. The diff replace is going to cost a bit more than i thought, so 'project get skyline same colour' may have to be on hold for a few weeks.

evenin' all,

Question about the hybrid intercoolers....why does everyone shitcan them???

I have been looking around for some bad reviews, but can't seem to find much info at all. What's the go...are they leaky? poorly made or what?

Or is it the fact that they are manufactured in China?

Anyone got a definitive answer or is it all just heresay?

Hi Warrick

yeah I would like to know too.

When I was discussing with Gavin Woods the future mods for my car in regards to the power I want to acheive, he said not to touch the Hybrid as it didn't flow well enough for high powered cars.

He said it was good for up to 200KW but after that it just doesn't cut it.

So consequently I am madly saving for a new Trust intercooler

Hmmmm....Ok, well from what I have read on this forum, Gavin knows his shit.

So these "Hybrid spec" intercoolers (apparently made in the same factory), such as the ones mindflux is trying to do a group buy on are essentially the same thing I presume, and in that case to be steered clear of.

the hybrid coolers are fine .. ive got one on the way, however if you wanna run high kilowatts, then you best go for something more expensive. i dont plan to hit 200kw so i feel one of these coolers would be perfect for me.

other peopple bag them because there cheap they assume 'if their cheap its shit; .. other people jump on the band wagon 'oh wasnt made in japan must be shit'

yamutha - im not 'trying' to do a group buy .. i have already got mine ordered, infact ive had it eveb before the group by .. i was just letting people know about these intercoolers as i know there is alot of people after these intercoolers.

baah ill explain after i get away from the TV

200kw is all the hybrid can cope with ? even the stockie can do better than that most of the time.

for up to 300rwkw or so even the GTR cooler is all you need.. "all over again".. GTR cooler, custom stainless steel piping.

Generally the Trust I think is "the" best regarded cooler in japan.. the others come somewhere after that.. HKS isn't bad either, although i'm biased :rofl:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

    • 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.
