Hi, will soon be upgrading to a r34gtt stock mount. I was wondering if there are any modifications to make it fit, or is it a strait fit?

And to get to the r33 stock mount, can it be done by removing the wheel guard, or does the front bar have to come off?

And with the r34gtt cooler on the r33, is there a notible difference while running a bit more boost, such as 10psi?

will appreciate any helpful replies

Thanks,

I installed R34 Cooler on mine,

with the front bar off very easy to do,

since the front bar on have 4 bolts holding it, very easy taking it off.

its really a bolt on job.

performance wise, no idea, only when u increase boost!

Straight bolt up. No mods required.

Make sure you have the r34 duct too. To install the duct, the front bar has to come off. This requires a trim to get the bar back on. You'll know what I mean.

No noticeable increase in power.

What is a duct?

Can i use r33 duct?

Must be some air duct to run from the stock hole in the bar to the cooler.

When I put my R34 cooler in, the bottom of it sat much lower than the stock R33 one. So much so that it's pushing the lower shroud down and creating another airduct under the bar!

I don't know how much difference that would make, but to theorise on your other question about performance, the R34 cooler has bigger in and out pipes on it, and the core is thicker. In theory I beleive this means you could push more flow through it. Dunno if 10psi makes any difference, i'm still running 7.

Considering the R34GTT's are 206kw stock, i'd say that this cooler would be good for at least that. I'd also guess that your intake temps might be *slightly* lower under load due to the increased surface area of the taller and thicker core.

I'm going to mount a JayCar temp probe in my intake somewhere and monitor the temps. If it all seems good, then i'll run it up to 10psi.

      I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time.

      I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap

      I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.

      SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.

      I would suggest equally difficult to find, perhaps edging to the SR. Turkey has almost exclusively Euro market cars, some Korean, few Japanese other than pedestrian shite. I guess they're probably losing the fight against Chinese shit like we are now too. I would vote for a BMW V8, found in a 540i in a wrecking yard somewhere in Deutschland (or possibly Albania).
