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

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D  
    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
