This is one serious low mount package that can feed (and cool) enough air for 600 rwhp and a 10second pass. I spent a LONG time getting this together and developing a monster street/strip setup. The only reason that I changed is my latest fad for track and motorkhana which requires a completely different and lower power set-up.

The above parts are less than 5,000 km old and are in great condition.

OK - let's start with the turbo side of things.....

The GT-RS terbs are well known for big power applications. These are in great condition as evident by the unworn compressor turbines as seen below:

Note that these also have brand new actuators fitted.

What is not so well known is that these terbs are prone to "shuffle" at part throttle. Using a bridged type manifold helps greatly in reducing this.

The bridge also fouls the standard factory water coolant lines, so I had Earles lines and fittings made up as shown in the first pic above.

Now - onto the intercooler. This thing really is a monster and it's a shame that Apexi have stopped making these bar and plate units. This is in basically new condition and comes complete with blow off return pipe (replaces the small factory plastic tube).

I really can't say much more except this has a 600x280mm front area with a massive 136mm thickness:

To ensure maximum airflow, we made up a stainless connector from the intercooler to the 100mm Greddy plenum. This includes a vent pipe to connect to the Apexi blow off return pipe:

And finally the Greddy plenum. This has been highly polished and is in perfect order:

I really prefer to sell this kit as a whole, and for that reason I won't split this up unless I really have to. When/if I do split this, the separate prices will total much more than $3k I can assure you (have offers already in Perth for IC and terbs).

The sale price of $3,000 is excellent value and with the addition of some silicone joiners, clamps and gaskets, this is a straight bolt on affair.

Prefer local pick-up but will pack and send at cost to anywhere in Oz.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
