Gday All,

I have just turboed my NA RB30, and having retained the 9:1 compression will be running 9psi as an absolute max. Im running the T3 off the VL.

I have an s13 180sx cooler (approx 170x210x50) but apparently its way to small to handle the volume required by a 3.0L. I have been searching around here but all i can find is cheap R33 coolers and threads on ditching them for big FMICs.

What size is an R33 GTS-T cooler? Will it flow well enough for my application? Are there better (not GT-R) stock coolers around that can be had for cheap? Ie $150 or less? Or do I go for a Mk4 Supra cooler which i can get for $150?

Advice please!

Cheers,

Brent

2 options i see:

get 2 R33 (or similar) coolers and mount them in parallel if you have room and appropriate piping skills. this will work well me thinks

or buy some sort of intercooler on ebay. you can get some aftermarket items for about 500 on there which will suit your requirements more than one stock r33 cooler.

waz.

or get an intercooler water spray (not very reliable for detonation prevention though)

or try a water injection system

I was going to go for a DIY water spray onto the cooler.. not into the intake, but obviously a spray kit isnt going to compensate for an insufficient cooler.

Brent.

the jza80 TT supra intercooler is not the same size as a GTST cooler.

the CORE ONLY size is 230 wide x 275 high x 130 thick.

then there is the end tanks.

with end tanks it is..

350 wide on top and 290 wide on bottom.

and the inlet and outlet are in the wrong position for mouting in the passenger side.. as they are on the drivers side on the supras...

As you may have guessed, I've travelled this path before..

UNSUCCESSFULLY

I bought mine for $200 and sold it for $200

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
