Howdy peeps,

Would like peoples opinions on intercoolers in 2 areas.

1) I can get hold of a GTR 2nd cooler and installed for about $950.

Should i go for that or get a kit thru nengun like the V-SPL brand new for $1300 and install myself (maybe)

2) If the GTR cooler is bought and installed, is running the piping back under the cooler back to the origin piping the best option or better going thru the "hole in the wall" method. The distance looks almost the same.

Thanks guys....

If you decide to run with GTR cooler, you'll be much better off to run the return up through the gaurd to the plenum. A nightmare to plumb it nicely the other way 'cause the GTR cooler is higher than the aftermarket ones that have the "under" return.

Remember that when you fit a GTR cooler, the top edge will be virtually hard up against the bonnet latch, and the bottom edge will be pretty close to level with the bottom of a standard front bar. Therefore, if you want the return pipe to hang lower than your front bar go for it. Might not last long though!

I would suggest you bring the return pipe up through the inner gaurd and over to the plenum above the radiator, that is of coarse if your not prepared to re-locate your throttle body to the front of the engine.

The taper that the gtr cooler end tanks have are not straight like some.I say if your going to run the pipe back under to the origional posi buy a hybrid or anything that will meet your requirements for performance and budget.

This is what i am doing and allthough i have most of the pipeing allready its going to cost me next to nothing for some brackets and silicon hose on top of the price of the cooler.

do a search on places like www.cappa.com.au for mandrel bends just to give you an idea of prices + sizes for them and i can pretty much guarantee you that you could do it all yourself for a cheaper price.They are all highly polished as well.Theres probably place's cheaper than cappa and if you dont want the high polished look theyre even cheaper as i understand it. :headspin: :headspin: :headspin: :headspin: :headspin:

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
