i had one fitted to my r33. brand new. here is what the costs were

$350 core

$400 ish for pipes and bends and the coupler orange/blue silicon joiner things

$510 labour to fit and weld up pipes and cut front bar. cut hole below wiper tank, bolt on cooler, wled up pipes (stainless steel) and connect all the pipes.

$1260 drive in, drive away fitted. the core is 500x300x75 or thereabouts

fitted at chasers in melbourne

There are a few options for the 33

Trust V-SPL Intercooler Kit for Nissan Skyline GTT Price: $1299

Complete kit - Inlcudes all piping & fittings

XTR Front Mount Intercooler Kit for Nissan Skyline GTS-T Price: $1395

Complete kit - Inlcudes all piping & fittings

Blitz LM Intercooler Kit for Skyline R33 GTS-T & R34 GTT Price: $1695

Suit RB25DET

There are a few options but for the dollars u cant go past the Trust FMIC

what do u think would be a resenaouble price to pay for an intercoolr mounted and all in a r 33?

you would be crazy to pay more than about $800

just because it has a brand name or comes in a kit doesn't necessarily make it any better than if you buy a hybrid and get soem pipes made

myself? i bought the cooler for $400, pipes and fitting was $260... totl = $660

yes, there are some bad cheap intercoolers going around (eg ex-truck coolers) but there are also some decent ones (eg hybrid)

some people have more "dollars than sense" and will pay an extra $500-1000 just for a brand

where did you get pipes and fittings for $260 man thats cheap

Its not just the brand

Its the quality of the fittings the pipes and the finish

Sure u could hack one together urself but im sure it will be no where close to the quality of a proper kit such as one from trust...in terms of finish, fittings, mounts, clamps, hoses etc

If u had to piece one together urself that can match the quality, it will either cost just as much money, or alot more effort on your part.

The Blitz kit that I was extremely high quality, so good in fact that I was able to fit it myself and there was no cutting, drilling, cable tieing or duct taping required. It basically fell into place. It also only took me about 5 hours to fit once I worked out the instructions.

I heard the Hybrid and there copies were not that good a quality and some of them tend to whistle when driving.....any truth to that or is it just talk? Also the pressure drop on a Hybrid was alot greater than the jap brands? I guess you get what you pay for huh!

A few peeps i know have Hybrids and Hybrid copies and a couple of them whistle. It depends on how much core area is exposed to direct air intake and for a FMIC to work properlly the more are the better. You can't really hear it over the engine/exhaust noise and then with the stereo on its not even there. But you can hear it if it whistles during everyday normal driving.

I was having a look on www.driftbits.com.au and they have spme pretty good kit prices on there at the momnet. I think it was $680 for the R32, R33 kit for memory

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
