Hey All,

My build is coming along well. I need to get some custom intercooler piping made up. Currently have mild steel piping and not sure if this is good enough. Opinions? The web is devided from my searching.

Anyone have suggestions of a workshop that can do this in the Narre Warren area and also how much do you think its going to cost?

If mild steel is fine just need a few modifications made to the current for the new intercooler. 

Attached some photos. 

Thanks guys.

Nothing wrong with mild steel.  It's just heavier than aluminium, that's all.

I'd be remaking the red one from scratch, probably try to find a better way than to jam it between the comp cover and the cam cover vent.

The return pipe / outlet from the cooler is aids.  I would prefer to relocate the outlet on the tank than try to make that pipe bend any tighter.

Hey All, 

So I have gone with a new Blitz SE intercooler kit from Just Jap. This will allow me to use the current/stock holes. 

In the future if I do go with a intake manifold, I will get the piping changed.

What do you guys think?

Hey Man, 

Yeah that's one option. I want to clean up the whole engine bay and get it looking smick. Next on the list is to get the RWC sorted for the car. erghh that's going to be fun. Not sure how the heck I am going to get one.

right on looks great. just an fyi i hair spray all my rubber connectors with hairspray helps keep them on with bigger boost, and helps with leaks. cheeers mate looks great.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
