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.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
