What Does A Stock R34 Gtr Intercooler Look Like?

Hi guys, I really need to know whether my FMIC is standard or not (and if standard, whether it is in the standard location, instead of having been relocated). I thought I'd try one of the general forums because no one has replied on a Victorian forum (maybe because all the GTRs have aftermarket FMICs here lol). I'm pretty sure it is stock, but someone (the cop who defected me for it) disagrees. There are no aftermarket logos, etc on it and all the cooler pipes appear stock. The car came with it when I bought it and the previous owner thought it was stock too.

On google the pics are all of the FMIC already removed, and some of them appear to be black and some shiny metal-coloured. It kind of looks like a stock one. Please take a look. I would really appreciate it. If it is standard, how do I go about proving it is to Vicroads? Is there a Nissan OEM parts list? I couldn't find any model numbers on the FMIC. Thank you!

Most Victorian GTR's run stock coolers, given they are well proven to be fine for 400rwkw.

Just measure it, easiest way to tell and the OEM size is easy shown. I don't believe there is a part number on it.

I used to keep a copy of the book in my car, just for this reason. :-)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      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.
