Hi All,

Bit of a dilemma - i'm ready to sort my baby out with a proper intercooler and cruisin round on ebay you can pick up these hybrid ones for less than $400! Having a chat with the good people at UAS they reckon they're no good at all and they want 2k to supply & fit a Plazmaman one. With a turbo upgrade i'm chasing around 200 - 250 rwkw...

To anyone thats had experience with both types of intercoolers, are these Hybrid ones really no good or are UAS just trying the big sales pitch at me...i know UAS are regarded pretty well as far as tuners go but wanted to double check before i lay out 2k for a 'cooler...

Nice one

Have a look in the for sale section.

You can pick up a "Hybrid Copy" for just over $200

I have one on my car and there is nothing wrong with them.

All that is missing is a brand name badge.

sales pitch mate.

I know of a number of 200 sx's making over 230rwkw with HYBRID or copy cooler.

my mild car has about 170rwkw with a hybrid cooler.

latest fast fours has some monkey in a 300rwkw r32 RB20 with a hybrid cooler.

a couple of people on here are making over 250rwkw with hybrid coolers.

but as stated above, $400 is expensive these days.

modyourcar.com has them at about $350

mercurymotorsports.com has them for about the same price.

look around.

they work fine.

just don't get the piping kit with it.

buy the cooler and then get someone to make up some pipes for you.

the ones in the kit have had some problems with small leaks making squeeling noises.

How about compared to a Greddy one though?

I mean the difference in price is not that much when you think about it ($800-1100 vs $1300)

Greddy use the tube and fin design, while hybrid uses bar and plate.

It looks like hybrid can make the power though. Resale value greddy is the way to go.

But apart from that, what are other peoples thoughts on it?

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
