the ones from flying performance are the only authorised ebay ones.

oh and for the ppl who say copy's are crap, depends on which one you get, mine has a hybrid core, just doesn't have as nice a finish or welds on the end tanks.. my mates relatively stock VL ran a 12 with one of these

look for the hybrid logo embossed in the top, this one does

Yeah i can see that but its not hard to punch in a logo and pass something off for what its not. Thats just seems a little cheap to me thats all. I know you have to factor in piping and attachments and fitting but all that considered it would still only be about $500 or so for a cooler that size.

How do you know that these are the only authorised ebay ones? because they say so? doesnt seem to be any proof of this on there listings?

Any one know the difference between drift spec and GT spec? are the GT spec tube and fin or Bar and plate?

thnx.

Yeah i was thinking the same thing myself as i have seen 2 stores/people stating that they are the only authorised dealers on Ebay/internet.

Wouldn't mind know myself as i am after a good FMIC and the Hybrid kits look pretty good for the $$$'s

so whats better - tube and fin or bar and plate??

Tube & fin flow better (due to core construction), but don't cool as well as bar & plate. If you have mild mods then a bar & plate would be best, if you have a highly modified car then tube & fin.

Most stock coolers are tube & fin because they have less restriction, but the manufacturers disregard the temp of air going through.

There was another thread on this matter only last week in forced induction section.

SydneyKid said there is bugger all difference in the big name coolers and you may as well buy something like a hybrid and save some cash toward something else like a powerfc.

hybrid are great i got one and it works brilliant it gets very close too ambient temps, i bought mine from flyen performance they sent it quick and have been really good with my questions.

and yes people are copying hybrid pressings and HKS as well, there was a commo owner on boostcruising that said he bought genuine HKS cooler from ebay it had the pressing but it was a hybrid copy for sure , i feel bad for him cos the copies without the HKS pressing were 300 less :P

That sucks, there are a couple of peeps that i would and have bought auto gear off Ebay but there are some scammers out there. Makes it very hard for the others doing the right thing as well :bs!:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.

      Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
