Mega Bump!!!!

Don't try and do this mod if you don't have the lower lip on your front skirt

The extra depth and width of the R35 GTT intercooler means it doesn't fit behind the chinless bar.

*sob*

does any one want to buy a shmick R34 GTT intercooler?

PM me.

Got a quick question to SK and to all those who have cleaned the 34 cores.

Did you just put 50/50 mixtures of metho and kero into a bucket and just poured it into the core?

Whats the process of cleaning it?

Also how would you clean the fins?

The one im about to buy seems a little dirty.

Heres a pic? what you reckon?

my 33 doesnt have any dents lol.. but yea all good.. dont think its gonna affect anything!!!

how about cleaning it?

I spoke to two of my friends n both mention not to bother cleaning the inside, as it will flush itself out.. and the oil will still come back.. ???

but i might just use water and flush something out?

or metho??

Metho and kero in a 50/50 mix is the go. Make up about half a litre, then pour in a bit at a time, give it a good shake so it can get to all areas inside the core, and then pour it out. Keep repeating the process until the mixture comes out as clean as it went in, then you'll know that most of the oil will have been washed out from inside the core.

There's no need to rinse it out with water - the metho/kero mix will dry itself out, being alcohol.

This has been a great read!

I was lucky enough to pick up an R34 GTT Intercooler for $70NZD :P Picked it up tonight.

Some of this R&R (WTF?) and timing stuff gives me a headache tho ;) Im so new to the turbo scene that i really dont know alot about it.

Currently i have a 98 R33, with 49,000km, HKS Silent Power cat-back exhaust, A'PEXi intake and earthed stock solenoid. So essentially still running stock boost. I have a de-cat pipe on its way (yay for no cat regs (YET!) in NZ ;) ))

seeing as i know squat, am i going to have any pinging issues or anything i should be doing to aid with these mods? Will be getting a split dump/front pipe very soon too.

Noticed the bumper and rear end in general is getting rather fuel-dirty, and i know that the 33's tend to run rich when you free them up (is this what R&R is?) So i guess after the R34 Intercooler, some sort of fuel management might be needed.

Has new stock gapped copper plugs too.

Confirm x2.

Just make sure the inner guard bolt/clips are tight. Its lower than the R33 so its tight.

they fit up no probs.

one prob, I suppose, may be the bracket... I feel I bent mine a little to get to fit? cant remember

and they sit low seeing they are 20% larger as such, dayz kit covers that but stock front bar may not

I still use the stock holes for the air feed, just a return feed fmic off ebay now (apexi, for 180sx; I did have the r34 cooler for half a year tho), fits in the stock front airdam perfectly

having trouble tracing the final progress of Sydneykid's 200awkw endeavours; does anybody know where this finished up? And is 180awkw possible with the standard series 2/R34 sidemount cooler? Did SK go a fmic?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
