The car in questions intake temperature rose dramatically (bigish single turbo which was only just starting to get into its efficiency range, so that wasnt the problem) above 15psi, it just didnt seem to have the capability to scrub the heat from the air passing through. Wether this was poor internals on the runners, or a poor front end surface meaning the air didnt pass through it very well not sure.

Car is an R32 GTR which ended up making 390kw on ~23psi boost with a HKS Type R cooler and kept inlet temps nice and cool.

When you put it like that it make more sence. If the hybrid cooler was on say an rb20 with a 2530 turbo running 15psi im sure it would be fine but it would be probably be only making 200rwkw ish. I guess its probably best rating an intercooler on a power rating than a psi rating. 390kw is a lot im only guessing but the stock GTR intercooler would be probably out of its efficency level at that power too?

cheers

I have a hybird copy in my R32 and it works great! Doesn't block flow to the radiator and is very effective, after a long fast drive I touch the inlet and it is pretty warm, then touch the outlet and it is actually really cold.

Hmmmm so the original hybrid are ok then ay,hmm sounds ok but like i said i dont want to be cutting in the chassis and fan, if i go a intercooler aswell there is no way of saving the standard snorkel used with the airbox ay thats gotta go?? Is there such a thing as a direct bolt on where nothing needs to be touched and just goes on and works well????

The Blitz LM intercooler kit uses the standard route for piping from what i could find out.I too am not keen on cutting and hacking away at my car just for the sake of saving a few $. Do a search or call Autobarn who sells them. Oh and they are slightly smaller than the Hybrid cores.

the blitz uses same piping route and nothing is touched and you can retain everything stock ,the kit only comes with 2 pipes and is a very fast install say 30mins ,if that . but the thing i dont like as you cannot change your plenum ,without changing coolers. so you are comitted once you get it.

the r33 and 34 kits are the same aswell.

here are some pics. :P

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
