I would like to purchase an Intercooler and Full Exhaust kit for my R33 GTS-t. Does anyone have recommendations? I'm looking at spending around 3K for both (new). These components would also need to bolt strait on because I want to install them myself.

I heard the subzero stuff is ok?

What are all your thoughts?

not a bad budget dood for a zorst and intercooler.

depends if u want jap brand or custom made here.

new stuff like apexi or trust for the r33 i think r a cat back 3" system r about $1300, then you got a 3" hi-flow cat which is about $300, then a apexi 3" front pipe which is about $550, about $2100(all fitted). this is all preety expensive brand new, but second hand, right from the turbo back like trust or apexi your looking about $1000-1200.

something custom made here, a 3" off the turbo with a nice polished muffler, stainless steel right through, about $1500-2200

i think (fitted), im guessing less if not fitted.

try www.japanesemotorsport.com.au for second hand parts, they deliver OZ wide.

for the intercooler, well you might need a bigger budget if you want new from brands like trust or apexi. but second hand from them for a descent size like 600 x 300 with piping should be about $1500-$2500. if your on a budget, then id say go for a second hand GTR intercooler which is rated at 450hp, its 600 x 300 x 65, so its big enough, they are about $500-$700 bucks, then you have to go to a shop to make up the piping for you, mild steel is about 200 bucks or $300 bucks fitted(rough estimate), a bit more for aluminium, a better choice since this dont rust, plus looks a lot better.

if i were you, id buy a new cat back 3" exaust from apexi or trust for $1300, then go to an exaust place like Austalias best or liverpool exuast to get a new 3" hi-flow cat and a custom made 3" stainless steel front pipe. this should be about another 500 bucks, so $1800 (fitted)for the exaust.im sure it will be a bit cheaper if they are not fitting it for you.

since you have a budget of 3 grand, that leaves 1200 for the intercooler. i guess then id go for the second hand R33 GTR intercooler, try japanese motorsport or a wrecker for this, dont pay more than 700 for it, because they go for about 200 bucks in japan for a good condition one, then go to a place where they make intercooler piping and hoses, all this should be about $1000 bucks (fitted), again depending on how much you get the cooler for and what piping.

that = to about $2800 i think.

this is from my point of view, but do a little research b4 you buy.

also remember that prices vary from shop to shop.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
