Anyone got or know a good place to pick up a second hand R33 GTR intercooler to use on a GTST?

I am thinking that I should go the cheaper route rather than buying a new kit, and use that money towards my exhaust (I want to get the new Hitech system with the split dump pipe, but its a tad pricey :D )

I assume the stock skyline cooler is not worth anything to anyone?

it all depends on how much power you wanna make.

If you can pick up a R33 GTR intercooler for $500-700 its pretty much a steal since wreakers are askin for $950 or so for them.

when lookin for a gtr intercooler (tube/fin) make sure the tubes aint bent, make sure you look carefully inside!

Fins are easily repaired, just make sure its all in ok condition.

You also gotta consider the mounting & also piping, once you buy the intercooler the piping will set u back $600+ (Shop around for this)

Stock R33 intercooler....well dont expect more then $100 2 be honest.

Hope this helps.

Im selling a GTR intercooler, R32 ? R33? dont know. tell me how many tubes each has and i could tell you which one i have.

If you know someone in Syd you can trust to site it for you im happy to sell to interstate. I purchased it from an Adelaide wrecker who promised me an IC in excellent condition ($970), what i received was an IC with dents in top and bottom baffle plate. I have had the IC acid dipped, and polished. Now have HKS IC so the GTR IC just sits in my garage.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
