Hey guys, a quick question.

Im about to get a GTR cooler for my gtst but have no idea where to get the pipes made up or what fits and what not... i was thinking a normal piping kit for a gtst would do but the gtr cooler has slightly longer end tanks. Can anyone who has done this shed light on it for me.

Thanks !

Just out of curiosity mate how much did you pick that GTR core for?

Fully kits with piping and core to fit gtst's go for only $600 or so man.....$400 for ISC stuff...getting the piping made for your GTR cooler will prob cost you more...just my thoughts

just take it to a good exhaust place and they should be able to make the piping up for you mate.... places like BTR....D&T exhausts or AAA exhausts......goodluck with it all mate hope it all works out

Brand new $250 the $50 was postage >.> i was pitching over getting a Greddy one but i wanted a black core and im not about to spray a new cooler black...

So i assume the GTR one is already black??

Personally i'd be buying a ISC Kit and spraying it, the pipework and hoses will cost you alot more the way you wanna do it!!

I suggest you sell the GTR core and buy yourself an ISC kit or even a Greddy kit mate.....saves the hassle....i was looking at getting a GTR intercooler but then decided to get a Greddy one and couldnt be happier mate....all fits nicely and does a wicked job of cooling....you can either spray that black or leave it as it is.....either way it will do the job and i have not heard of anyone getting done for a fmic....touch wood

Yeah its already black, they come black stock i believe. All i need is the pipes... not sure which way to go now =/

Maybe 32 GTR coolers come black but my 33GTR cooler i had on the 33 was the old standard silver!! The pipe work that was on mine was like a roller coaster and was not helping, at least the ISC kits pipe work is more direct!!

Hit up Ryan a PM, He doesnt bite!!

Custom Pipework, or hunt down an East Bear piping kit from japan. Id personally go custom pipework, as you can have it exactly where you want it.

Or get a cheaper full kit from ISC/JJR..

For top notch pipework go see Marky @ ET, or LeRoy @ BTR. Will cost a bit more, but it'll be the best.

Hi, Basically our ISC kits are made for RB25DET. There is very very little modification needed to make this kit fit nicely onto an RB20DET. For $399 you really cant go wrong as the kits include a new 600x300x76 core/piping/clamps/silicon hoses etc. Alternativly we can do you a Trust Spec M for $645, this is a straight bolt on item aswell and comes with everything needed for installation.

Thanks,Ryan

gtr cores are good for hi HP.

keep it.

buy a box of pipes (3") off ebay and some good 3ply silicone off ebay again, good bolt-clamps, cut and install at home.

thats what I did :rofl:

Yeah the reason why i got a gtr cooler is of its mounting points. easy to mount ive heard. what was involved when you did yours? alot of cutting? i can only imagine you'd have to cut the pipe where it joins to the end tanks since they are abit longer.

keep the GTR cooler mate (IMHO)

better design & flow etc than $200 chinese copies

with the pipe kit, just exactly that off ebay for around $120 delivered, a few straight pipes, curved pipes etc

decided what Id need, measured thrice, cut and fit, and re-fit

then took it all apart and lipped the edges of the pipes and reinstalled

no issues

looks like a home job but meh thats me, dodgy 'bros

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
