I purchased an R33 GTR Cooler and an East Bear A31 GTR Cooler Piping Kit. I reckon paying the $500 for the GTR cooler is a better investment than $300 on a Hybrid Copy China Whistler core.

lol, its funny you say that.

i have one of these hybrid copes. and in terms of cooling efficiency i think it is actually quite good... but i have noticed that it is actually whistling!

Is there a known method of stopping this. it really is quite annoying.

Cheers.

I dont think there is much in it between the two coolers but youll pay a little more for a GTR cooler and they will both work well. I think youll have to be more concerned with organising the piping for the GTR kit you ll prob have to get it made up, where as the Hybrid kit comes with everything all together. The way the inlet and outlet pipes are designed are different. The GTR cooler inlet and outlet fold back a little from memory where as the Hybrid just stick straight out from the cooler. This something you will have to take into consideration when organising the piping kit. As for the whistling, not all of them whistle.

appoligies to dig up an oldish topic, but it had just come to relevance for me

I have a R33GTR intercooler sitting about, it is slightly damaged. Im not sure if i should go a genuine hybrid or stick with the GTR cooler. Big pickle im in. do real hybrids whistle? Any furthur opinion, but more welcome- evidence one is better than the other?

go the GTR cooler as it will flow alot better than any Hybrid cooler (unless its very damaged of course!)

:(

ahhahahahahahahhahaha!!!

do you really think you would notice the differences between a gtr cooler and a hybird one?

How can anyone turn away a hybird cooler it cost around $200-$300, i havnt had any problems with mine and it flows good :) u pay that or more for a SECOND HAND gtr cooler

Im not sure personally but this is the general idea ive noticed around the forums.

A REAL Hybrid cooler will cost u similar to what a GTR cooler will cost, a China cooler may whistle which piss's ppl off!

But im glad u thought it was so amusing...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
