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:

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??

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
