geez cut the shit out of the metal front bar ...

hm..... double pass cool, havent yet found one, plus im a perfectionist, thats why i got the FMIC i have, so the front looks even.

might be a long process.

the one with the pipe going behind the radiator in freddy's post. would that affect turbo response being such a long return pipe ?

who installed it and how much? i still havent haha, went to do it last night then realised we didnt have a big enough grinder

Nice job,but ,did you reposition your oil cooler?I allways had the doubt if the 3 layers(fmic/cooler/radiator)don't create a "hot spot" slowing the air flow...

quick bump to this thread and a heads up for people wanting to get a aftermarket cooler

out good friends at ARC have the solution

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ar...it-t258630.html

Yep that's exactly what I'm after (although it would end up costing over $1200 NZ by the time I get it here)! However it would be cost efective for an Aussie because there is no installation expense - it will more or less slot straight in.

I believe the ARC item is bigger than the Trust (which is bigger than the R34GTT/neo one) so should be good for around 220AWKW. In other words it would be good for some one who doesn't want a front mount showing (for aesthetic or compliance reasons) but plans on more power.

That intercooler doesn't look much bigger than the standard S2 one(maybe good upgrade for a S1) as the R34Gtt fmic upgrade says in the DIY section:

Time to measure it up, the core is 80 mm thick, compared to the standard Stagea's 65 mm. The core is 210mm wide and 225mm high (18 rows) while the standard Stagea intercooler is 210mmmm by 185mm (15 rows). This would indicate an improvement in flow of 23%, R34GTT is 206kw and Stagea is 170kw, that's a 21% improvement in power. Seems logical that Nissan would have some mathematical basis for upsizing the intercooler

maybe the arc has better air flow?but for $880...

anyway looking around find this(the price is a little bit crazy I recon ),but is another option...

plus the old VL turbo one (BTW there was one on sale on eBay for 100)

after all the research think to keep the standard one until boost goes up...:-)

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
