Nm35 Stagea Stock Intercooler Dimensions

[Gottastag_M35]

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.

They for the HDI GT kit it comes up often for $580 on ebay. Maybe make an offer to them for a lower price. I actually. Picked up my kit of ebay brand new for $420. just gotta look around

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

I would of gone the greddy direct from japan if I bought one again.

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

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.

[Gottastag_M35]

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.

Lol.

There goes our insurance premiums...

[Brick]

Wow.

[Gottastag_M35]

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.
