For that amount of money you could have had a trust vspl cooler. Nengun sells them for about 80,000yen delivered to your door (about $1070 going on current exchange rate) the only mods you need to do is make a hole for the plenum pipe to come up like yours has. Personally I think the welds look shocking and nowhere as neat as a jap cooler. Sorry, but these are a forum and I am entitled to my opinion :wave:

Rob77, he paid $1800 including piping and labour. I don't think that's too bad. I take it the price you quoted from Nengun was just the cooler? Add in import duty, GST, freight, labour and piping and I'd say it'll be well over $1800. Of course, you can still do better than that too, my setup cost closer to $1500 (600x300x70).

Btw WLD747, there is no way that cooler is 700x400. I measured it on my screen and the ratio of length to height is around 3.2:1. The ratio of a 700x400 cooler is 1.75:1. It's more likely something like 700x220 or 800x250.

the size is prob around 700 x 280 x 70. The price i quoted was just an rough figure wasnt more than $1600 but this upgrade was done within a day. But its usually cheaper if you leave you car there for a week or 2.

Labour is the main factor with intercooler upgrades. Very time consuming job. one more thing this includes a new electric radiator fan not clutch fan to make way for the cooler piping so it removes some weight of the engine pullys.

planning to run lots of HP, ok it takes a couple of days to put on a cooler and make piping, depends on when the shop is busy. I had the guys working on mine most of the day so they could do it in one day. But i had the intercooler and piping ready.

cheers

Try www.nengun.siteblast.com.au, go to trust and you will see that the intercooler kit is quite reasonably priced. True that price does not include gst, but you may not pay gst on it *wink*. Anyway, the kit is complete and for most people more than enough, cheaper than some aussie kits.

twin is good reduces lag from turbo and goes through the cooler at the top and bottom.  So ive heard.

Can you let us know what diameter the intake and outlet pipes are? Unless they've put some thought into it (and it doesn't look like it), this setup is going to do anything but reduce lag.

Also, while swapping to an electrical fan is no bad thing, it didn't have to happen. The route that piping takes definitely doesn't interfere with the clutch fan if its done properly. I've had a very similar layout in my car for sometime.

BTW, what possesed you to get a fake intercooler and GTR badge?

i agree with the weld comment........not to mention the use of what looks like steel piping...steel rusts therefore throwing crap into the engine.....In regards to twin inlet theres not really an advantage unless its a twin turbo...all your doing with a single turbo there is creating unwanted turbulence in the piping.... Border,nismo,ARC use twin entry on GTR intercoolers...its to stop the turbulence/clashing of compressed air between the 2 turbos

personally I think the price is a bit high as it isn't all stainless piping and the size of the cooler is way to big. and the twin entry says to me these coolers were made for a different application.

the cooler on my sr 32 is 600 x 300 x 76 which is plenty big enough for 500 -600 hp bmt did the cooler piping. personally if you ahve a stock turbo there is no real need for a bigger cooler unless you plan on upgrading you turbo it a bigger one.

I'd say that cooler has been made with a 500-700hp GTR in mind. Its very large and has the twin entry's for the 2 turbos.

Dunno about fitting that to a big HP GTR...........:confused:

:D i thought it was a GTR when i first say the twin intake...

i agree with you troy, and rob77

The welds are average... The pipint isn't stainless and the cooler really is too big.

It'll induce to much lag being of that size.

My cooler is quite a fair size (ARC) and it's single entry, but i'm running a much bigger turbo.

i personally would like to see some bench testing of that twin and a Blitz/ARC/HKS single entry.

That would tell the true story.

Personnaly I believe that running a twin entry cooler will reduce the effectiveness of a single turbo setup, the disturbance of the air flow through the splitter will surely cause restriction to airflow? There is the other point that it may direct more airflow through one entry than the other and cause pulsing??

In my opinion twing entry should only be seen in two things:

a) Twin turbo applications

B) Pornos.

    • No worries at all 馃 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 馃槉, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive 鉂わ笍 . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts 鉁岋笍
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 馃槕. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
