I’m currently looking at an Intercooler for my R34 GTT. I just can’t resist those low low prices! (thanks China).

The three standout ones seem to be:

Just Jap - http://www.justjap.com/parts_nintercoolers.htm ($499 on the website)

Croydon Racing Developments - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=127373 ($349 forum price)

Hypergear - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=132082 ($350 forum price)

BTW I’d rather get one from one of these guys than eBay.

Are all of these pretty much the same? Are they the same?

Can any R34 owners comment on them? Piping line up OK?

Boy, I remember back in the day when you’d have to add a 1 in front of these prices...

Hey Dude, I think it all comes down to what power figure your chasing and if your car is going to be used for street, drift or drag...

For street use with a mild modded R33/R34... the $350 FMIC (bar/plate)kits will be more then enough... anything from 10 - 20 psi IMO

CRD are getting a new tube/fin FMIC kit from what i read in the traders section so you should keep an eye out for that... should be at a good price too..

Cheers,

Sarkis

Yeah, I'm not going to go over say 220-230rwkw. The question is, are these all just about as good as each other? Should I just go for the one closest to me to save on a bit of postage costs (and potential hassle)?

Yea those GK Tech FMIC kits have had some good feed back... Although the CRD tub/fin FMIC kit for $375 is comming soon... seems pretty close to the HYBRID GT Spec...

Any of those kits will do fine...

Cheers,

Go with the GKTech.

He's been trading on here longer than CRD, and was the first to price em so low at $349 :sick:

I've seen em...and if you were thinking of wasting money on a hybrid, go for the gktech and get basically the same thing without the price tag!

      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?
