So all this recent talk about the HDi intercooler kits for VQ25det Stagea's had me searching for a "better" price than I was quoted by HDi (just under $1.1k shipped).

Thankfully I have found a supplier that can do such a price - it ain't an awesome price, but it is better >_<

Anyway, $697 is the price which includes express shipping to your door (1-3 business days from when I place the order).

To get this price, we will need a minimum of 10 orders.

Kit includes everything (GT2 intercooler, piping, clamps, joiners, brackets) except the slimline fan - which can be found on eBay

You can see in the below graph that they are an extremely efficient unit, the GT2 core also incorporates HDi's patented Traverse Aero Dynamic Heat Transfer Element which reduces Air restriction to the radiator which can be of concern with normal bar and plate designs.

Group buy will end on the 14th December at which time I will place the order if we have 10 or more that have paid up.

I will require upfront payment as I am not prepared to be stuck with extra units (nor do I have the disposable to buy 10 units!)

Post here of PM :laugh:

So I just received an email with a revised quote from HDi for a kit sent down to Melbourne.

Down from the $1088 original quote to $873 due to the shipping address being in Melb Metro.

Two things...

1) Fro those who have purchased from HDi before, is this how they usually work

2) The group buy price still stands (20% saving and 1-3 day delivery is not too bad IMO)

ok so if im correct $873 is non group buy and $697 is group buy?? i will put it to the boss of the house ;) not sure how i can explain to her its worth the money but i will do my best as i really want one of these. any ideas?? :down::P remember my xmas present is already the dump pipe!!

This seller claims the kit can be used with the standard fan no slim line required and not supplied? Comments from some one who has fitted one?
I believe that someone has done it successfully - have to angle it just right- (on this forum but can't remember who) so it is not a false claim but most find it easier to get a slimmer fan.

When the prototype with HDI and the first production kit was done we used a 12" thin fan(easy job...there about $50). From memory is a very snug fit even with this.

Would be good to keep the original fan but pretty sure it has to go!

Don't know who got the original fan to fit.....would have be extremely tight! kudos to them as well!!! I guess you could have a shot at doing it!

i put one in and got a slimline fan instead of the stock one.

remember you may need to change the polarity of the new fan, so dont hard wire them. use plugs so you can change them if needs be

thats their normal price

kit also needs cutting of the reo bar etc due to it being mounted further forward so it doesnt foul the thermo fan.

its cheaper to buy the HDi kit with a $35 thermo fan than getting the Blitz kit and cutting away stuff youll need in an accident

small are the dimensions, and thin also lol

you wont get any power upgrading (or very little), youll get consistent performance no matter the temperature, and allow you to increase the boost safely.

is the factory core on the m35 really that bad? i have seen a number of cars with small cores getting absolutely no gains from upgrading to bigger ones..

anyone know the dimensions of the factory one?

nope....it's not that's bad for a standard FMIC.....it's just way to small for the heat cycle it's put through.

and the GT2 core shit's all over it for flow! :P

All group buys need to be run out of the GB section of the forums.

We have specific rules and information we deem a requirement for such things to be organised.

Please go and have a read, and when ready, start a thread there with the required information.

Thanks.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
