bleh, sif it makes a difference, i have a friend who's father has a 700odd hp twin turbo v8 supra using a just jap intercooler, runs fine no worries.

Its all marketing hype, admitadely, $2000+ inter cooler kits fit better and thats about it.

cheers

I've got one, but haven't installed yet... don't know if i will either. The only time I give my car stik is at night and the air is cool enough already.

The highest knock level I have had at night has been 17 which is nothing. However if you're stupid and crusify your car during a hot day it would benefit your cause a little.

If your car is completly stock the intercooler will make it slower due to the extra meter of piping and the huge volume of the intercooler that has to be filled with boost.

A FMIC will make your car look faster, besides that at this level of performance any el-cheapo or brand name cooler will cool effectively enough for your needs. So yes, they work good.

Which cooler is it? bar and plate or tube and fin? Either way though i've seen these coolers support in excess of 260rwkw so they can't be bad...alot of brand snobs would say otherwise but results speak for themselves...and its usually the piping that lets you down...cheers...

I bought a hybrid copy kit that came with a delta fin core, its basically a APEXI intercooler copy.

The isntall was not exactly a easy botl on but its all together is fairly good. I f could do it agian i would have saved the money and bought the blitz style that uses the stock IC pipes off the turbo and in the intake. I personally dont liek the ider of the hybirs kit with a pipe running across inbetween my radiator and engine then having to cut my fan blades not to mention make a 3inch hoel in the side of the car for the pipe.

Other wise for the money great kit. I have the Bar and plate before and apparently the Delta fin is supposed to be better and cost more. Ohnestly for a street car under 150 rWK i doubt id notice the difference?

      Turn signal wiring question

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
