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:

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
