Well I just went and cleaned it and gave myself a bit of a surprise; it is actually a Trust cooler not the stocker. Obviously replaced in Japan before the car got here. Trust is stamped on the top and bottom.

However since this is much much bigger(and also worth alot more) than the stock 34 cooler I am going to make the price $250 ono and buyer pays postage.

Pictures linked, you can barely make out the Trust stamping due to the flash on the camera but if you look closely it is there.

I'm interested, but do you have a better pic it, one with the logo? That picture doesn't really do it justice if it is a Trust cooler. Also, what are the measurements..

Cheers.

I am very interested!

Measurements would be good so I know just how much bigger/thicker than my stock GTT one. Happy to pay freight. Not sure if it will bolt straight onto 33 but if it came off your 34 then it will fit mine 100% :)

Thanks

Ok heres some better pictures showing the stamping on the top and bottom. Ignore the dirty garage carpet. :)

Size of the core is 240mm long x 190mm high x 100mm thick.

Unfortunately thats a bit of a "How long is a piece of string?" question.

As it is a much thicker core you should expect some power gain, and less heat soak, however the exact % will vary for each car.

The intercooler is not the limiting factor in how much boost you can run, its the turbo and all the support systems. For reference though, I was running 13psi on it with no issues.

Gtrghostdog,

Yes the cooler would be more than adequate for that setup. You will need the short 90 degree pipe and a silicon reducer and two clamps as well. These are included in the price.

But Razorsharp is in the process of putting a deposit down so if that falls through I'll let you know.

the IC should come with a small bracket that bolts to the rail, the 90 elbow, the rubber/silicon hose (AFAIK it is not a reducer and is rubber) and the various bolts and nuts. the IC bolts straight up to an R33 with a bit of fussing around. ducting the bugger takes a bit time but worth the extra effort.

Hey pushhead, did you have to modify anything or was it a direct fit?

Also, how much is postage to SA?

Can you find out asap, as I am quite keen.

for an R33 GTS-T with M-Spec front bar, I did not have to modify anything at all. Remove stock intercooler and replace it directly with this. I haven't dyno my car to compare it with the stockies but I can tell you it felt like the turbo spool faster. I'm very surprised that no one actually jump in and buy this quickly. For $250 this is too cheap seriously. dont want to spoil anything but errr these cost just abit less than a trust front mount assuming trust front mount are $1500 new these go for $1100 roughly new.

I was next in line if the deal with Razorsharp falls through!

I am very keen to buy this and have the money ready and waiting!!!

Gtrghostdog would be after me technically.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
