There are 20+ traders in the Trader Section of this forum.

You could try any number of those.

I heard the trust type M dont need the fan blades to be cut.. Obviously you will still need to cut a hole for the piping on the side..

Or you could get return type coolers such as ARC.. But will be expensive..

Otherwise most cheap copies, will require you to cut a bit of the fan blades..

[heslo]

Correct siddr20, the Trust ones don't need the blades cut nor do the GReddy's but I beleive they are the exact same just rebadged

[Marco-R34GTT]

Does this also go for the NEO engine? I'm pedantic, I really don't want to go cutting my fanblades/engine cover...

I have s2, didn't have to cut my fan with my JJR kit

[Marco-R34GTT]

So your sure that the Trust/GReddy ones don't need to be cut? even for the NEO RB25?

series 1 r33 here and i installed a JJR intercooler kit...didnt have to trim the fan blade and it doesn hit either...even underload

i believe the s2 is the same deal...although some people say that it hit, some say it didnt. If it doesnt have clearance you can always gently notch in a small dint in the underneath of the piping with a peice of wood to make it clear....someone i know did that and it clears now and no need for fan triming

Just a get a Blitz LM cooler or ARC, with return piping so no need to cut holes or fan. And it should run more efficient since it doesnt sit above the rocker cover or radiator.

ok, noob question.. Return piping?? I've heard ARC are sweet intercoolers, but what is return piping???

Yep, BLiTZ M is good, thats what I have on my R32, well whats going ON my R32.

Attached a picture for you noob

Thats the cooler that will be going on my R32, you can see how the piping comes to the one side.

Return flow is when the piping runs to one side of the car, and up into the engine bay the same way the stock I/C piping does.

I've got the Blitz LM kit on my R34.

I'm at work atm so this is the only pic I could find.

Sweet setup bro, what ius that thing just to the left (picture, not car left), of the intercooler??? Oil Cooler???

@ Abu.

I see mate, thanks!

I'm gunna jump on the wagon too..

I also have R33 GTST S2, 40th anniverssary (though pretty sure it's the same)

Was thinking of getting greddy 300x600x76.

Should I expect any increase in lag with this cooler?

If so is it worth changing to the R34 GTT one?

I dont plan on going crazy with mods for more power in the near future, maybe just a pod filter and I already have 3" exhaust.

Also any other basic tips would be appreciated..

Thanks in advance!

[R31Nismoid]

If you dont plan on a bigger turbo - R34 GT-t sidemount is the way to go i reckon

[made_guy]

i've certainly noticed more lag after installing my fmic - eventually i'd like to go to a front facing plenum to reduce the pipe-maze a bit and see if it helps. also am going to wrap my return pipe in front of the radiator in heat-proof shielding to see how that goes cos that pipe gets stupid hot!

oh also have a jjr fmic and just bent the bracket that the return pipe uses to attach to the engine so it clears the blades - looks a little ghetto but looks aren't my concern.

Oil cooler behind a transmission cooler. My car used to be auto.

[Sklyn]

Thanks guys..

I am also taking into consideration that I live in Alice Springs and it gets DAMN hot and dry. I don't know how this will affect my car...any ideas? I don't think it will be too much of a problem, maybe just a little loss of power..

[candy33]

You should expect abit of lag with the front mount, but not much.

Front mounts are so cheap nowadays i wouldn't bother with the r34 gtt one, as the gain would be minimal. The front mount also has scope for future mods, if you decide to make some.
