Hey all, first time posting here. I picked up Stagea as a family rig for my wife a few months ago (off a forum member I believe, not sure on user name though) and to cut a long story short she had a minor accident in it necessitating a number of front end parts to be replaced. I figure this is a good opportunity to upgrade the cooler with something a little nicer but the car is at the repairers and I need some figures on the size of the stock item before I go shopping. Not looking at a full kit at this stage, just something better to slot in where the stocker used to reside or close enough to it.

A quick google search and some browsing of the forums turned up no conclusive answers to the dimensions so if someone can provide me with the numbers the would be great. Cheers, Damo.

Seriously. Just do the HDI GT cooler kit. It not that expensive. And is a bolt in. You can get the whole kit for $600ish off ebay.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm hearing you around the kit, they are definately good value for money ($699 was the cheapest I could find on ebay btw) but I can replace the cooler only for around $150. I'm only bothering because its out necessity since the accident and I doubt the wife will too fussed in regards to the potential for increase hp.

Get the Greddy kit. More piping on the turbo side than the HDi kit.

Thanks very much for the info, that answers every question I could have. I'll have to see what exactly the situation is regarding insurance coverage and the replacement parts but if an aftermarket part works out cheaper than OE then I may be able to get it across the line. The car is still 3 weeks away as some parts had to be ordered from Japan but as far I'm aware based on the last conversation with the repairer they were yet to purchase the cooler.

I was just giving dimensions of a intercooler core he could look into as you can pick them up cheap as chips so to speak and with a few modification to piping could get it to fit

Thats for the HDI isnt it josh? That wont work wkth stock piping will it?

Wow, that is just ridiculous. You may have sold me on the kit, haha! Postage from Japan would've probably run into a couple of hundred though that still represents good value.

Turns out the repairers only want to use new genuine parts for mechanical related repairs and have ordered a new intercooler from nissan in Japan. I can only imagine how much that cost but not to worry, I'll look at upgrades down the road after we actually get the car back.

I knew it would be something outrageous, add to that the radiator, thermo fan and condenser core along with shipping they're probably looking at no change from $3k. You just can't help some people, I even gave them local alternatives that would have given them a bill a third of the price.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
