The HKS picture looks to be a kit for a 200SX, but it is the same intercooler i installed on my R32 recently.

I too looked at the AVO unit, but check it is the core that as 600x300x90, as i think this may include end tanks. The HKS kit fitted my car with no real dramas, although the pipes are powder coated/painted mild steel and look to have been formed using hydraulic tube bender, (no mandrel bends).

The HKS core itself has tubes that are smaller than my spare GTR core. It would seem to flow well enough as with the cooler installed my boost has gone from10-11 psi to 13-14 psi. It has essentially made my boost controller obsolete, as i leave it turned off and run the std boost which now sits @13-14psi (stock turbo)

As for cooling i have a thermocouple that i want to mount before the manifold, but until then all i can say is that even after 8-9 laps @15psi flat around eastern creek, the inlet of the cooler is very hot to touch, the outlet is still ambient temperature, the crossover pipe behind the radiator is again very hot. So next is HPC coating or a similar solution to heateing of air downstream of IC. Rather agricultural means of testing but it may give you an idea

Is this too much information. In all i found the AVO bar & plate GTR cooler a better option than the GTST kit, but it means custom piping. If the AVO kit is alum piping than i would suggest this may be a better option than HKS

The kits comes with everything you need. Cooler / piping / brackets / silicon hose joiner. Its a 600x300x90 mm Bar and Plate cooler. It feeds through the standard piping in left hand front guard. Its awesome. Like i said i paid 1400 bucks from AVO TURBO WORLD in Melbourne.

Thanks for the information. I just rang them, however the price is up to A$1550 full kit (yes, full kit: include everything need to go in, pressure drop 1psi at 15 psi...., new piping incule the pipe ti replace stock pipe) ship to Sydney frieght around 70~90....1 week)

picture here

mmm...sound's good...[

    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
    • 40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.
    • Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!
    • Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
