No Hybrid Brand he is talking about not apexi

I have one in my machine seems to be of good quality its a 600x300x75 i think it cost $900 but i think the price has come down a bit more since i bought mine.

No problems so far i recommend them over a Jap "brand" name, aussies arent too bad at doing that sort of shit :)

I have what ur talking about on my car too. Go to the thread I/C Spray under the performance forum, on page one, i have posted a couple of pics of mine on my car.

These are wicked coolers. Mine has been great. unless its a real hot day, you can go for a fang, pull up on the road side, and put your hands on the inlet and outlet cooler piping, and the outlet pipe is totally cold, while the inlet is quite warm! Its not scientific, but its satisfying ;)

I have been told by the ppl who sell them that they flow 30% better than a 33GTR core does, and they cool good too. This is coz they are a Bar and Fin core. Apparently the best of bar-n-plate and tube-n-fin.

Official name is Hybrid Supercooler. Most people overlook them straight away coz they dont have a big name like HKS or Apexi, and coz they arent expensive so people think they cant be that good. But like Macka says, aussies have their shit together here.

Even if that WAS true i dont know any 250rwkw 2litre cars and if they were that serious Im sure they would put in a 90mm thick core or more.....

Anyway we are talking about whether they will be suitable for Nismofreak and i think it will be way big enough for him!

hey dont shoot me down im just telling you my info!!!!!!!!!!! A mate has a sr20 bored to 2.1litres with all the gear he had a 75mm hybrid core we couldnt get the car much beyong 245-260rwkw no matter how much boost we screwed into the thing, there happened to be a car with a trust cooler on it which was actually a little smaller and straight away the car went up 15rwkw, so we got it on the flow bench and the numbers indicated that the hybrid was just not flowing so now he has a 110mm item!! Yes i agree this cooler is fine for nismo freak just putting in my info to give him something to think about. Oh and macka that WAS true!!! Im sure they make more than one core and thins was one of their first so no doubt they have improved since then!!! PLus they are a really good price i say go for it i just thought id share my experiences sorry!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe relax dude...

Not trying to have ago the yare just discussions......

Thanks for letting us know that, maybe they are different coolers or the same im not sure i thought that those hybrid coolers are bar and plate is that like truck coolers? So they are good flowing but maybe not as efficient as some of the other type...but i spose u only have to worry about that if ur running boost.....

Good work to your mate with the SR that car must be bombed!

shes cool :cool::)

no worries yeah i did ark up a bit but wasnt tryin to be just turned out that way in the type. Yeah the 180 with that sr is pretty lethal but theres just no grip peopl in mild rexes n gsr lancers just nail him at the lights then by the time he can really do anything about it everyone thinks they have won. Theres no traction till bout 100kays but its fun to passenger in:eek:

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
