Cooler Comparison Help, Gearbox Too, Maybe More

Just a question, which cooler would flow/perform better, a universal bar and plate cooler (the one from just jap) 600 x 300 x 76 wih 3" inlet and outlet, or a standard R32 GT-R intercooler?

I'm trying to decide between the two, and there is a rather hefty price difference.

That aside, are there any good quality coolers that produce decent gains and cool well as well as being moderately friendly to the hip pocket?

Also, would it be worth getting a GT-R gearbox upgrade for the GTS-x or just use a GTS-t one and "strengthen" it? Or just keep the one i have in it now?

And in regards to the 4-5 stud conversion, i read somewhere else on this forum that the rear hub is a straight swap with the R32 GTS-t item, is that true or are the new/custom/conversion kits/hubs in order?

Hey champ!

RB25 boxes and GTR boxes are the same, the only difference is there is no transfer case for the 4WD. Im the long run i want an RB25 box for my 32, the rumors ive heard of RB20 boxes arent the best, and im sure you have heard the same ones im talkin bout.....

Coolers, i dunno, i just used got one cause i wanted one, i didnt really go into a great deal of thought on price and/or performance. I just followed everyone else and got a hybrid copy one.......

hey dude, any idea on the power gains you got when you fitted it? or can anyone tell me rough gains? I've heard of people getting like 20rwkw or so, just wanna confirm it though, every little bit of power helps :)

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
