does anyone know what Monsta brand products are like, i havent heard much about them, i've been looking at getting some stuff of theirs, just would like to know if anyone has used or has any info on what they r like. cheers

I wouldn't buy a cooler from them as

its most likely a truck core.

However, for my Silvia I bought headers

and a split dump from them and never had

any issues.

In regards to intercoolers, Flying Performance on

ebay do genuine Hybrid kits for $650 delivered Aus. wide.

Cheers,

Bill

i have seen one of the coolers up close. not that good, and they don't flow that well. they are a bit restrictive once you start to raise the boost.

also the bovs are absolute crap. i know a few guys that have them fitted to their cars (not by them) and they are very slow releasing.

monsta coolers are crap, mate fitted 1 and like in previous replies, struggled to maintain when we raised the boost.

if you want a quality intercooler, 1 i have fitted to my 33, call GK technologies on 0401 554 476, speak to greg krusse. he sells the kits complete with piping for 400 plus 20 postage or pick up from melb.

cheers

ps. not genuine greddy. sprayed on during car re-spray

I had a manifold from them on my 180sx, needed a bit of tidying up around the ports and turbo flange to clear up some rough edges and rough welds. Also needed to elongate the stud holes on the turbo to make it fit onto the studs in the manifold as they were not tapped straight. Even thou I had to do all this still was good for the price (even after with the extra $$$ having to get it fixed up).

I fitted a GK tech and its still going well...I will probably upgrade soon but for the bucks its a good cooler that seesm to get results. I had not issues up to 260-270rwkw...for aorund $500 its a damn good product,

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
