Aren't xr6 coolers taller, therefore giving more surface area for the incoming charge. Skylines are pretty much limited to 300 mm tall.

Yes fg are nearly as tall as the radiator. Ba/bf still get decent gains with a bigger cooler when over 250kw depending on the setup.

A lot of tuners have a simple sensor you can weld a bung on to attach and done. Cost maybe $50 for the bung welded and use whatever they already use

Handy to have IMO, especially if you wanna play around with a setup a bit.

Years ago my son got a Just Jap cooler for our GTR in 100mm, the biggest issue we had back then was the side brackets had to be cut, repositioned and welded which was a unseen (by him) cost, unsure if the current ones have this done correctly. (That was for the R32 GTR cooling Pro coolers)

Front bar on the R32 needed to be cut out about 20 or so mm to fit it back on.

In our case the OEM cooler was simply tired looking but flowed more than enough for what he had, our thoughts back then was that being an extra inch thicker it wouldn't add restriction but we never assumed it would improve over the OEM R32 GTR cooler, the OEM ones are known to be used on over 400Kw builds without issue.

As nismoid mentioned, its no big deal to add the bungs and take some measurements so you have some facts at hand when playing around with setup.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
