Ended! Gb: Gktech Front Mount Kits! $400! Ended!


Recommended Posts

hey mate

the front bar on the 33 is held on by 4 screws and about 4-6 clips under the headlights. I've watched my mate justin911 take his off, on the side of the road at 7am...with nothing but a screwdriver and a medicare card...it took him about 5 minutes :O

I'm not sure what dimensions the GTR coolers are, but ill try to find out for you.

Plenty of people have these kits on their skylines though, so it wouldnt be a problem in that respect :)

Let me know if you'd like me to put you on the list.

Cheers

When mounting these kits is it necesary to cut my front bar or surrounding metal work?

some people say i will need to cut the guts out of my bar while others say the kits fit direct on without cutting anything.

who is correct?

i know ill have to cut a 3" hole to get the piping through but other then that how hard is it?

i looked behind my front bar and there is a crash bar that runs from the top of the chasis to the bottom that looks like it will be in the way.

will i need to remove this?

if i dont it looks as thought the kit wont fit at all.

cheers

im in ill take one for an r33gtst. 600x300x76 :wave:

also how long do we have to wait to receive it???

thanks

Edited by mass_iv
also how do these dimentions compare to the GTR size? not that its all that imporant but I'm looking for a IC that isn't too big however I have no idea when it comes to sizes...

R33 GTR cooler dimensions, thanks to the man Gary, aka Sydney kid

"Hi Michael, the core is 600 X 300 X 65 and the total length (inc end tanks) is 1010 mm."

just out of curiousity, what is the total weight of these kits?

I'll try find that out for you :(

ok...it does vary from car to car. yes you will need to cut the hole you mentioned for the piping...and may need to trim behind the bar to allow the cooler to fit. i cant say either way, but id say there would be some trimming, which i highly doubt would be visible from the front....so basically it'd look untouched once back on the car...and any cutting behind the bar shouldnt be too major...plenty of people have these kits, and kits exactly like them on 31's, 32's 33's and 34's, with stock bars...so i dont see it being a problem

no worries mate, ill add you to the list.

once i have 10 buyers, ill send a PM to those 10 people requesting payment. once those 10 people have depositied the money, and its in my account, ill buy the 10 and send them out asap. any additional people after the first 10 will get have theirs sent out as soon as i get the money from them.

The $400 you put in my account is being used to buy the actual cooler i send to you....so when the first 10 people give me $400, thats $4000, which will be spent on the coolers, and the postage costs (also paid up front) will be used to send them out to you guys asap :yes:

I think thats all the questions... :wave:

still waiting to hear from

JD-33

Musky

and Quinny

I know you've all read the PM i sent, it'd be appreciated if you could reply so that I can tell the other potential buyers where the group buy is at...

thanks

I am very interested in this kit, when would payment be required?

I will give you a definite answer next week, don't add me to the list yet, but I am about 90% sure I will be getting one of these.

Sounds good. Put me down for a kit for R33 GTS-T, just let me know when you need the money. Cheers.

Done mate.

try to check back in this thread to stay updated, but I will send a PM to all those buying when the time comes to send the cash :D

The core size of the intercooler included in this kit is actually 600x300x76mm, or 780x300x80mm total size from end tank to end tank, top to bottom.

cheers,

Greg

is it okay if i just pick up the cooler? 'cause it's alot easier for me than have to tranfer $400 and wait untill the cooler arrive.

if you're in melb u can pick it up from me and pay when you do...but only if we get to 10 buyers first....thats what a group buy is.

Very interested. Is any chopping up of my front spoiler required? I have almost stock r33 s2. Curious what will be done during install...

How many hours would it take to install by a pro? Wanna work out labour costs..

Thanks!

mate, as mentioned a few times in here already, the extent of modification to your front bar varies from car to car. it should be minimal, and not noticeable what so ever from the front , once the bar is put back on.

labour wise, i think people have said $2-$300 for installation, depending where you take it....but you might be able to save yourself that copule of hundred by having a go at it yourself, with the instructions provided :P

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
