Someone here posted that it is basically the same and uses the same piping but it's just thicker. If thats true then it would be a reasonable upgrade for someone like me who is only planning on running about 12psi max with the basic sort of mods to get around 200rwkw. So for the couple hundred? or so it is much cheaper than a fmic as i wont be running a bigger turbo so i wont need one. So it would provide that bit extra cooling without going overboard on a fmic. If someone could confirm that its a straight swap that would be great, also does anyone have a rough price for a second hand one?

the stock r33 unit hasn't prevented me from getting as much power as the factory turbo can produce.

So far my power output matches or exceeds a fmic, stock turbo combination.

You get to a point where the factory turbo just acts as a blockage anyway.

I doubt you could get them for $100..If you can then you're laughing..

think about it..

REV210 is still running the standard cooler on his car and getting close to 12 second pass (or maybe already done it) and has who knows what power at the wheels.

these intercooler are on a car that already has 206kw and just as the R33 ones can handle some extra power so can these so it would be a great upgrade for someones R33 or R32 who is not looking at getting more than say 250kw at the engine... or maybe even a little more..

I think that these are worth closer to $300 from some that I have seen.

good luck.

If you were offered a FMIC, rev, would you take it and install it? I think you'd be quite pleasantly surprised :mad:

If I was offered a FMIC I'd take it.

Then I would sell it.

And have some underdrive lightweight pulleys made for the engine, perhaps also install an automatic gtst's diff center with the 4.3 gears and buy some decent wide tyres for the back with the money from the sale.

I am pleasantly suprised to beat the pants off all the poor people who got oversized frount mount intercoolers for their stock turbo'd cars (BoostD is the exception to the rule). So in the pleasantly suprised stakes I'm already pleasantly suprised at how little money I've spent.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
