I'm looking at purchasing some gear from Flying International (they're based in Sydney, NSW) and was wondering if anyone has had any dealings with these guys before?

http://www.flyn.com.au/

Wanting to purchase a Hybrid intercool kit from them.

But since their are copies of hybrid intercooler's around, I'm wondering if these hybrid intercoolers that they sell are copies although they do state that these are 100% real.

Anyone know anything to confirm this for me?

mate i bought one of these kits. the dude is a bit of a stooge. he had a kit pictured with silver piping then turned around and told me that it was for blue or red anodised piping after i bought it. i told him that i was going to contact ebay and inform them and all that sort of crap, so he sent me the cilver piping. also the pipes dont line up at all mate ,i had to modify them to make them fit. there generic fit piping rather than model specific.

do yourself a favour and buy a better quality one.

just my opinion.

I bought a Hybrid 2stage EBC from them... off ebay. After researching I found the price I paid was more expensive than off their own website.

EDIT: thats ebay for you though - you win some and you lose some. As is Im WAY ahead with the win ratio! :lol:

I'm looking at their website and the offer they also have on ebay. Their ebay deal is $40.00 cheaper then what they are offering on their own website.

My other choice of performance shop that I've found (a advertisement up top) is AutoSpeedBits.com.au.

Anyone had any dealings with AutoSpeedBits at all?

These guys are about $100-$200 more expensive but just wondering if its the same type of deal that Flying International provide, etc.

I'm not really up to be goofed around by a bunch of performance shops that are not going to provide the correct fittings, etc. Much rather get the right fittings so it can all go on at the one time, not fit the cooler today, find the pipping is to short and then have to wait a week to get the right pipe, etc.

IF the piping aint gonna fit I say go for a better brand! I bought HKS every thing was perfect to the mm! Made installation a breeze!

But only problem is that HKS is a bit out of my pocket and it's really only paying for the name.

I'm just looking for a simple kit around the $500-$700 mark.

Trust me it isnt just the name you are paying for! they really are far better kits, but if it is out of budget it is out of budget. Bear in mind if you have to get a new lot of piping made to fit that can be a few hundred dollars anyway!

bought the hybrid kit for R33.. havnt put on car yet (goes on in the next few days). Will keep any probalems or hassles posted. The kit comes in a legit box with legit packaged parts so i would say it is the real deal and not a copy. You do have to cut a hole in the front right wheel well to fit the piping hwoever!

Bunta... with your possible help of installing this. Is this a problem for us to do or best to get a body workshop to do the cutting for us dude?

We can do it if we are careful

Have a look at this site too before you make you final decision

i am not to sure about RWKW gains but the difference is like driving in 25deg celcius to 5 deg with the standard intercooler.

So basically the last few days have been 25deg here and the car is going as hard as it would after a late shift in the middle of winter.

i think maybe 10 to 15rwkw. Plus i have upped the boost from 10 to 12 psi now with the standard turbo.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
