Hey,

Ive been looking around at Intercoolers and was thinking of ordering one from Justjap? I was just wondering if there is much difference between the intercoolers? Is there much performance difference? Will one type of Intercooler fit better on the R33? I have a R33 Series 1 front bar...

The intercoolers on the justjap website are the:

HPI Intercooler Kit - Nissan Skyline ECR33 - Price: $699

Cooling-Pro Type 1 Intercooler Kit - Skyline R33 GTS-T - Price: $449

Website with Pics: http://www.justjap.com/parts_nintercoolers.htm

Thanks! :thumbsup:

including all the piping and hose and clamps

marginal performance difference and probably not noticable on the road, dyno yes, both intercoolers are very similar in design.

I personally prefer the HPI one because of the mounting brackets.

Just fitted a GReddy Type M front mount kit and it looks the goods and works fricken well. Had it on the dyno and it was making 15more bhp then before. can feel the difference in pipe temps on each side of the cooler.

Thanks for that! :yes:

Might check out a few magazines this afternoon....

With the mounting brackets, is that what makes it a easy install or a hard install? I just dont wanna get a intercooler kit that will be a mission to fit on, lol

i have a Greddy cooler as well its a tube and fin core and yes you can notice the pipe temp difference and it should easily fit with the series 1 front bar with no major chopping.....i havnt put mine on a dyno yet but have noticed the difference.....Greddy supply the full kit and are generally good....

The JJR kit has a Generic core so you have to bolt model specific brackets on to make it fit, after time bolts tend to get loose and you'll have a wonky FMIC, the HPI & other Jap kits have model specific FMIC kits where the brackets are actually welded on.

if your on a buget and not aiming for extremely high power, just get the JJR kit, save yourself the money on something else, perhaps an oil cooler?

You sir, are an idiot.

They'll let anyone advertise what ever they want in the mag as long as they pay!

Plus Hot4s and FF know nothing on cars.

      Gotcha, I mean that is at least good to hear. Are there signs, or troubleshooting tips to make sure the transmission is operating properly?

      I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.
