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

here is a pic of a just jap stealth fitted.

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...

found it

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

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.

wish i saw that before i got my FMIC

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)

http://www.avoturbo.com/avoshop/product_in...products_id=224

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

mount it on the the angle to avoid the reo.

in the cooler thread page 5 i think, a dude's got one on, he didn't cut nothing ! :P

did he remove the thermo? as i dont see what he did as possible, then again, its chinese, they are prob all different

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
