Hey, i want the chrome front mount look but also improve cooling and its efficiency. These coolers are going for $320 + postage. Would this be hard to fit a R32 GTR? what would i need and what costs would i expect? and what other cheap alternatives could i take ?

- Polished Surface

- Core size 600x300x76mm

- Overall size 780x300x76mm

- Compressed air flow rate = 750 cubic feet/min, rated 750-800 max hp

- Working pressure = 35-40 psi

- Pressure drop = 2 - 5 psi @ 35 psi

- Hot air temp = 0-150°C

- Universal front mount fit

- Comes with mounting plates and bolts for fitment

- Core in fin (Bar and Plate)

- Hybrid OEM core

- 3" in/out end tanks

Thanks in advance

dude - hes takin the pi$$ out of you!! You want cooling properties - not aesthetics.

Its a good price for the FM alone - check out piping but, it can be costly.

You may be better off getting a hybrid kit instead.

:D

If you wanna spend the $$$ then invest in a well reputed japanese aftermarket FM.

You'll increase your cooling properties and will have a nice FM for your machine. (aesthetics and performance)

Until he has 300+kw, a new FMIC is a waste of money (unless there is something wrong with the current one).

LW.

leave it black, it works better heat wise by a few degrees and keeps the cops away.

that hybrid is no better than factory.The terms 'cheap alternative' and GTR don't go together very well most of the time.

I'd say a cheap alternative is a 600x300x110mm trust intercooler for when you upgrade the stock turbos to some 2530's. Then you can add some injectors, Power FC, bigger fuel pump,better clutch and start saving for the rebuild that will be coming sooner rather than later once you go for the extra power with an old motor.

Having said that I think if you would like a nice looking shiny intercooler there is nothing stopping you from getting the factory one polished. That is a cheap alternative my friend.

Maybe he wants to get 300+kw??? He did also say he wants to " improve cooling and its efficiency" !!

Sigh...

Forget what i said mate, here is what you want to hear :

Piss that stock cooler off for starters and get a Hybrid kit.

If you want to spend over 5 x more than what you had in mind, than get a Japanese brand. Maybe you will put a T78 on it one day and will really need it.

Who am I taking the pi$$ out of now...?

:slap:

5 x more!! damn! Maybe if he flew over to japan and got it himself!!

A decent trust kit isnt that dear!! :D

You are taking the piss out of all of us that have a dream or a goal my friend.

From greenline.co.jp :

TRUST GReddy Intercooler Kit

294 x 600 x 115 mm.

¥136,868

@80 cents per Yen, that is $1710 in Japan.

That, according to my maths, is over 5 times the $320 he had in mind.

Now, feel free to correct me, as you seem to enjoy doing.

:bonk:

Listen mate, the last thing I want to do is to turn this into a slanging match.

FYI, I am not offended, I am merely trying to correct you; although you are coming back with a different angle every time.

If you like to paddle in your canoe upstream, that is fine. Just know that there is a strong current in here.

performance.. is coming second at the moment to haveing reliability and clean body.. but it was only a suggestion.. dont just go around and say shit hes looking for cheap etc... if theres no point upgrading or degrading i wont do it.. i would rather save the $$ and get a trust one latter on..

i wont lie, i think a nice big shiny intercooler looks good.. and looks to me are important.. but to others they couldnt give a crap if the kits all hanging off and there no back seats etc.. as long as there car is going that bit faster and i have not 1 thing against these people.. god i almost envy them.. working a car aint for the faint hearted..

thanks for your comments people.. i saw the rh9 cars all running hks turbos etc and trust front mounts ? is that tellling me something about performance of trust intercoolers??

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
