I have seen a picture with it done* with a RB20 in it. I thought there wouldnt be enough room eather but I guess if you remove the cluch fan lean the radiator back and have the intercooler on top of that with a hole in the bonit it might work?

v mount is the intercooler and radiator mounted in a < formation

so the heat from the intercooler doesnt go straight into the radiator.

probably more useful on a race/track car. if you have a stack big big mess.

the idea is to pass the hot intercooler air over the top of the engine and pass the radiator air under the car instead of passing them through each other

For those that dont know, here is a diagram.

Id think something like this is only good for a) a huge laggy turbo where you want to remove pipe length, B) drift front bar damage

I think it would fit. Ive always wanted to Vmount, pretty impractical for street though. Save your pennies

the benefit of V mount is increase cooling system surface area

if u simple want to remove pipe length & drift front bar damage u can always mount the cooler behind the radiator support.

have a look with the ASE setup in GT autosound car

it is like:

air~> /

the have a metal sheet between the cooler and radiator to make sure cool air goes up to the cooler but not only the radiator

with a custom cooler which is thick but short in width

i think it can be done within the limit space

ASE ask 2g for the SR setup, which include aluminium radiator & FMIC, not too bad i think

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
