Hey guys just speaking with a guy at the moment about buying this cooler but am a little worried it might not fit. He has informed me that the size is 800'300'78 however i would be thinking that is the overall size and the actuall core size would be 600 x 300 x 75 as that seems to be the general size of the hybrid/chinese made coolers. anyways this is the cooler on his car with a gtr front bar it just looks very big :P

well stevie after all this you were right the guy was not that good :( worst deal ever :) after 3 attempts to get the cooler first aus post second overnight tnt then him delivering it in person something came up each time. now onto the 3rd time trying to get my money back as well and at least this time I have a reference number if anything doesn’t go as planned. anyways after over a month of trying to get it I am over this one :D

now onto hopefully finding another one and I am hoping you Canberra folks can offer some advise :)

The following are some pics of an r33 gtr cooler which I am looking at getting for a decent price everything looks ok to me except a few bent fins (to be expected) but the top of the IC looks dinged up. could be the camera angle but not sure. Anyways I am getting some closer pics of it hopefully but can people please offer any advice on if it does look bad and does it look like a genuine 33 gtr cooler...

leech,

do you remember talking to a short little stubby guy about an intercooler at the dyno day? i can have a word to him if you like about it. its exactly the same as bluprint's. never used. he might even be out with us tomorrow night.

yea i spoke with john about it a bit on the dyno day. at the moment i would rather try and pick up a gtr cooler but we will see down the track :(

also the gtr coolers wernt all black to my knowledge also this one has been polished as you can see. but yea i dont like the thought of a dinged up cooler to much :D

Its easy enough to hit the black with paint stripper and cut it back to metal, many have done before. many will continue to do. I personly plan to buy a black GTR cooler, so no one can tell whats there :D Of cause this is some time away, im stil collecting other various items ATM

All standard R32/R33 GTR Intercoolers are black. The R34's are silver and also have a temperature sensor in them. That cooler looks like its been knocked about a bit, but you won't see the rear dents once its in the car.

*GTR ones are cheap,

*its hard to get a good finish with paint,(and im lazy)

*gtr came with black, if the paint still on after some 15yrs it must be decent quality,

*there are mixed opinions about the heat absorbtion of black intercoolers, many a debate about wether they are good or bad.

*I know a GTR one is decent quality, if i buy a silver one i will skimp and by a dodgy hybrid knock off......lol

yea what geordie has said is meant ot be true in regards to the heat some have argued that black is actually better if you do a search i think you will find some threads and boj01 thats what i was thinking i was more conserned about the integrity of the cooler itself. The guy said eh did a preasure test and it came back fine so i think i will wait for some more pics then make my mind up. cheers all :D

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
