Issues With Cooling Pro Stealth Kit

I now have my stealth kit but am having major issues putting it on, everything seems to be out by about an inch, I don't know whether I've been sent the wrong kit or the welding on it is buggered but it's got me shitted off haha.

So I was wondering if anyone out there who has fitted one to a S1 R33 GT-ST has any pics of it mounted with the front spoiler off or even just it sitting behind the front bar, it would be awesome, thanks in advance if anyone does.

Or if there are any pointers out there anything would help. Saying 'don't buy a cooling pro' does *not* help the situation btw (even though I'm sort of leaning towards that).

i fitted a cooling pro kit on mine. not the stealth kit. a hybrid copy, tube and fin, with trust style elongated end tanks.

i had to mix and match brackets, and basically make the thing fit. no way the standard fittings were going to work.

i also ended up using a longer silicone joiner in the engine bay where two of the cooler pips were too far apart.

just get creative. it seemed like the guys at JJ chuck a bunch of brackets in there without much thinking going on.

it doesnt look like you've bent the chassis tip either. this will allow you to slope the cooler, bottom side towards the car. it might make things line up.

I bought a Just Jap kit years ago and had the same problem. Ended up having to make new brackets from aluminium to space things out.

Can you move the cooler back further towards the radiator? If not, what is blocking it?

the ac fan is the major thing in the way that wont allow it to swing an further bak towards the radiator

also yours has just the single bracket in the middle on the cooler to hold it up, mine had to and needed to be bolted up to the reo. whats the go here? i think ur one would be easyier to install and if anything hold ur cooler further back...

Worst case remove the pipe and take it to someone who can weld an additional 30mm to it.

Aren't the cooling pro kits a China brand item? I'm seeing alot of victims from cheap china parts lately, the GReddy coolers arent that much dearer...

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
