Buy expensive cry once, buy cheap cry daily

Honestly, I was. However Someone had this one so I thought why not, 350 bucks.

that being said, i'm dubious of the plazaman ones. The one pictured on their site doesn't look like it'd fit on the mounts.

Probably cools the intake charge and doesn't leak... :P

I think the factory one does that as well.

So calling the phone number on their website and asking them if the GTR intercooler was a bolt up job never crossed your mind?

but isn't the factory FMIC limited to 300rwkw and looses efficiency after that?

I only started worrying about their fit after having issues with this one today. By the time i'd got back in and fnished packing everything up it was after 4, so i figured i'd give them a call in the morning... :yucky:

My Hybrid one does a better job...

Good for you and your car

If the car doesn't go to the track or drag strip when do you get the chance to use those 300+ killawasps?

Just out of curiosity, do drag strips allow intercooler sprays?

Straight from the andra manual

4.6.1 Intercoolers

Must be securely mounted with all hoses securely clamped. No restriction,
apart from location, on air-to-air units. Air-to-liquid are limited to water
and/or water ice ONLY and must be sealed to prevent fluid dropping
on to track surface. Dry ice permitted on its own but housing must be
vented to atmosphere to prevent pressurizing of system. Intercoolers
must be located outside of the driver’s compartment or contained in a
commercially manufactured ballistic containment device and fitted with
a relief valve / burst panel vented outside the driver’s compartment to the
atmosphere.

I try to use it every time I drive the GTR.

It's fairly easy to do especially those long M1 on-ramps we have here on the GC

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
