Hi All,

Can someone please help me understand the difference between the following two items?

Blitz Intercooler SE Kit - Nissan Skyline ECR33/ER34 - Part No: 23100

Blitz Intercooler SE Kit - Nissan Skyline HCR32 - Part No: 23106

Core sizes are identical, is it the piping diameters?

What should they be for an R33?

Thanks!

I'd say the diameters are the same as well.

These kits are designed to line up to the stock piping in the engine bay, so I would guess the bends in the pipes are different.

I have one in my r33. I've never seen the intake piping in a 32 so can't tell you what the exact differences are.

my guess, and it is just a guess, is see how it is described as a "kit"? The core would be the same but the piping of this alleged "kit" would be a different pathway, although the piping diameter could, or may not be, or may be similar to, the same size. Possibly 64mm.

Re "What should they be for an R33?" , I would estimate, with no legal claim of specific knowledge to, or of prior events pertaining to, the piping contained in "Blitz Intercooler SE Kit - Nissan Skyline ECR33/ER34 - Part No: 23100", being as suitable for application to an R33. Or more specifically, an ECR33.

Hope that clarifies everything you needed to know, without searching the forums for the answer.

Just to clarify as this is an obviously confusing issue. One is a kit to fit your car, the other is a kit that won't fit your car.

Different part numbers imply that they are actually different kits and the seller isn't just trying to look like they have heaps of different options to choose from. They do actually have different options to choose from.

However choosing the kit that won't fit your car would be a silly. But you have that option should you choose to take it.

As for the actual differences. If the core is the same then that would have to mean that the pipework is different.

Thanks everyone,

Yeah I'm buying a second hand unit with piping.

My car is an r33. The bloke in buying it from has an Rb25 installed in his r32, and he had this return flow installed.

Naturally I don't want the hassles piping not fitting etc hence the reason for my query.

It is far more likely to be the R32 one in an R32 than the R33 one in an R32. Now here's the rub. If it is the R33 kit in an R32, then it probably had to be modified to fit. In that case, and especially seeing as it IS in an R32, then you should buy an R32 to put the kit into, then you know it will fit.

The differences will be in the detail of where the holes are in the inner guard in front of the airbox. All the pipework will look the same between the two kits, it's just that there will be slight differences in length or bend locations that mean one won't fit in the other. You'll never work it out just by looking at photos of the one kit.

I concur with my learned colleagues above; regardless of an rb20 or rb25 being fitted to the R32, it would be more certain an R32 kit has been utilized in this instance. And not worth your buying.

However, one guy I may or may not have heard of, or even exist, once met another guy whose "R32 Skyline" turned out to be a VP Commo with a Mercury outboard engine fitted underneath the bonnet, so, buyer beware, that's all I'll say.

Unless you like projects, my advice to you my friend is avoid the pain, get the justjap cooling-pro intercooler kit, mine is still going choice bruzz for years now.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
