hey fellas. I am interested in any feedback people may have regarding this decision of mine. I am unsure of whether to buy a greedy v-spl intercooler or a hybrid intercooler. Now my car is currently stock except for full exhuast and air filter. Plus i wont really really be pushing the car past the 200rwkw or aroundabouts in the future when i do a couple mods after the i get the cooler. the car will alsoi be boosted and dyno'ed and all... Now my mechanic says there are the japanese coolers, custom made coolers, and stinkers and i guess he referred the hybrid cooler in the stinker category. however, from searches i have found that many people have no problems with the hybrid cooler except for the recent thread saying the chrome piping bubbles. I am really unsure which to buy, and then there are arguments of jap brand coolers are made for jap cars so they know what they are doing, and then there is the hybrids do the job just as well and the money saved can be spent for other purposes whether it be other mods or watever... :confused:

any feedback would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

oh, also, im a student with a part time job so money doesnt grow on trees for me

Ive got the Hybrid cooler, but i think the pipes i got where from a different source, theyre polished aluminium and look very nice and fit perfectly. Power wise, i got 25rwkw from the cooler and cam gears. The car runs much better and has no detenation as previously when the stock cooler gets hot. I give it a hard time and then straight away feel the pipes and cooler and its still nice and cool. I can't comment on the other coolers!!

I've got a Blitz LM i/c and very happy with it. Personally with my car I'd prefer to pay extra for quality parts knowing that they do their job properly. I've never heard of a TRUST, HKS or Blitz cooler bubbling have you?

If you want a cheap cooler go for a stock GT-R cooler. They're amongst the best of stock coolers and are more than good for 200kw at the wheels. If you look around for them you should be able to get them cheaper than the hybrid coolers.

      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?

      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.

      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.
