Hi guys.. i've got an r32 gtst, and will be looking at getting a cooler in the coming months. I want to keep to a SMIC if possible... so i was wondering, what are my options.. are there any decent bolt on coolers i can use? I looked at a PWR direct fit one, but i cant really justify spending $1k+ on a sidemount.

Cheers, Phil.

Hey, thanks for the reply.

Yeh no track time, and probably looking at about 170-180ish kw max... but that wont be for a while. Still, i'd like to plan ahead.

So the r34 cooler is a straight bolt in? or requires modding?

As far as i know the piping is different... there are plenty of threads on it, try searching.

I think just needs different return pipe welded on. dont take my word for it.

Also for that power the 34 SMIC will be fine.

You gotta look at cost of cooler and the fabrication to make it suitable to fit and work out if its worth getting or just gettin a FMIC...

34 cooler is not a direct bolt on for R32. R32 piping is opposite to R34.

HKS and ARC make R32 SMIC bolt ons.

Your after 170-180 and it wil do that fine...

It WILL be good up to 200rwkw

I have heard 230rkwk but dunno how correct that is.

Those are the specs of the 34 cooler right?

Sorry.. may fault.. i didnt write my question propperly lol..

I was wondering on what kind of power the stock 32 cooler can handle.. until i can save up and get a new one fitted.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
