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.

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
