Not a fan of the Plazmaman stuff, never seems to fit correctly every time. There are plenty of great intercoolers that don't cost as much as Nismo.

http://www.nengun.com/has heaps available but if you really want the Nismo one your going to have to have a look around.

Nismo have discontinued the 100mm intercooler, only way to buy it now is privately either new at around $2000 or second hand over $1500! Try ring around tuner shops that might have one laying around. It's a sort after part now as nismo no longer makes them. If hks or arc won't do it for you then keep an eye out and buy it straight away when one shows up. You will be paying a premium thats for sure. I bought my used in mint condition by harrassing the tuner shop mechanic constantly until he sold it to me. Good luck hunting!

Fitted one today on a 34R, zero issues with fitment.

I really want just the nismo intercooler,i know theres better or similar out there but i want pretty much as many nismo original parts on possible on the car.Id be willing to pay the extra for it as im already in poverty paying off the car anyway,2 minute noodles for a bit longer wont hurt!

just leave the stock one on then.. if you're not making massive HP and your IATs are fairly low there's no need to upgrade an intercooler.

It's like upgrading a fuel pump on your stock Honda Civic GLi.. won't make more power.

Nismo intercooler installed with intercooler hard pipe does give you a bit more power and better response with a tune, but will cost you around $2500 for parts and $800 for a tune so total around $3300. Quiet a bit of money for the gains, but the smile on your face every time you see the nismo sign on the intercooler and the scared shitless wrx driver you are about to pass, priceless!

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
