Hi guys, the standard R34GTT intercooler is a bit bigger (thicker) than the R33/32 one. It's still not in a good location, but the R34 ducting is better.

It really depends on how often and for how long you are going to run it at full boost. If it's road only car or a road/drag car I would reckon 200 rwkw may be OK. On a circuit car it would not have enough airflow or mass to control the temperature over any sustained period, 2 or 3 laps and it would overheat the inlet air.

Hope that helps

Does anyone know if that (R34 cooler) is a straight swap with the stock R33 side mount ?

I was considering this as a low-cost DIY alternatives to FMICs...

Would also be nice to hear if anyone else has already tried it and what they've noticed different...or any other opinions...

yep, straight swap. a few guys in the HK skyline club have done this to their 33 GTST's.

so from a stock setup, what do they do besides changing to the R34 cooler ?

add some boost ?

A friend was considering that cooler, a cheap $100 turbosmart boost controller (or bleed valve - if those terms are interchangeable?)

and leaving the rest with a possible EMS upgrade to tune those mods together.

refer to what SydneyKid said...what application is the car going to be built up for?

Street terror?

Circuit basher?

Straightline warrior?

I don't think I've ever brought up any hi amounts of boost in traffic...especially with the peak traffics lasting longer and longer lately...

on that note it sounds like the stock one will do fine...and for that bit more without the huge overheads of mods, the R34 cooler as a simple upgrade...

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
