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:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
