would there be any performance or temp difference (whether increase or decrease) from swapping from a generic hybrid style core to a R33 GTR core?

those generic bar and plate coolers are very average once you start to up the boost. 17-18 on they heat soak real bad.

Yeah it really depends.

Some generic stuff is fine, and some other makes/upgrade kits are using china cores for 400rwkw+ applications.

So gotta test pre/post boost drop etc.

interesting, thanks for the info guys.

i will get my tuner to check for heatsoak when it gets tuned next week.

Status,

do you want to expand on why the r34 core is superior to the earlier intercoolers :yes:

someone correct me if im wrong! Though, 32 and 33 are the same, the34 only differance is it has Temp sensors attached.

Im still tryign to decide on this 32 GTR cooler for my GTS4 rb26.

cores are differrent. but them side by side you will see.

  • 10 months later...

we gained about 20kw switching from a standard 34 GTR cooler to a thicker 100mm unit on my brothers car, which has a 6262 on e85

although the power increase was also a result of another 4-5 psi of boost but our tuner said a thicker cooler was required to utilise the boost

jumped from 420 to 440kw.

and in terms of standard rubber piping... mine keeps tearing with -9s on e85.. I've had to replace the rubber pipe just below the twin turbo pipe 3 times now. Have a hard pipe kit waiting to go in. The rubber ones are 17 years old now and struggle with 25psi running through them.

seen a R34 blow the ends of the core as there not welded like they are on a 32/33

there like radiator end tanks style which didn't seem to like big boost only running n1 turbos or smoething

car only had low 300kw to did it on the track end up cutting the little flaps of the tanks and welding them on

Well that's nothing to do with the cooler really - just shows how good the GTR core really is if you screwed in 6psi for only 20rwkw after you went to a 100mm item, which is pretty average really (only 20rwkw for 6psi).

You'd sooner back off the 6psi and live with 20rwkw less and enjoy the much safer setup.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
