i was looking at these kits damn cheap! i was guna buy just the piping but i was waiting till it went down to 200 it got to 240 then someone started bidding bugger! then was just guna get a gtr cooler

yeah the core is you 600x300x76 and by the looks has nice straight welds and fins and just to make sure i spoke to the supplier and got there opion and a few other people who have purchased and say it ,is equal if not better than hybrid and is very light ,so now i am eagerly waiting ,by the way does any1 have some pics of the cooler install ,in particular with the bar off and showing how it all fits with the reofitted.

thanks :P:O

strange cos usually drift people, or the like strive on response and ideally a smaller core would be preferred. i would have though a 450x300x75 would be more suited as there would be less volume on the inlet system thus reducing throttle lag as much as possible but still retaining a good fmic setup. the arc ones are setup like this and are mega expensive.

is the cooler really a "drift" cooler? just sounds more like a marketing hype

ive got a 600x300 one at home that i never ended up using cos it was too big and ended up getting a 480x300x75 core which worked really well, well i guess compared to the stocker unit anyway. bigger is not always better

The brand of the cooler kits is "Drift 1" or as known to some people as D1. That doesn’t mean the coolers are for people who have there cars set up for drift. its quite a popular brand over in the states and the piping is made out aircraft grade quality aluminum. My mate has the D1 kit on his 32 and works great. The piping is perfect with the kits and cooler coolers are good as well however I’m not sure if the coolers are genuine D1 coolers, the piping is though. The cooler my mate got with his kit just look like the hybrid copies that people are selling I may be wrong though.

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
