Just Jap Stealth Intercooler Problems... R34 Gtt


Recommended Posts

hi guys i recently got a just jap stealth intercooler for my r34 gtt with the nismo aero body kit, i got the intercooler on ok but am having a real hard time getn the front bit of the chassis back on infront of it.... it seems no matter wat i try it is about a cm or 2 from fitting back neatly wether i try mounting the intercooler higher like on the same bolt as the release lever for the bonnet or lower with a bracket and to the side like jase-r34 did... (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Jj...lth+intercooler)

in the picture wat the red arrow is pointing to the front of the fan stops me fron having the fmic back any further and the yellow line is the part of teh chassis that i cant get back on only just because the intercooler doesnt seem to fit in that gap... so i cant get the holes lined up to put all the bolts back in...

any1 got suggestions or have this happen to them?

thanx

the bar your talking about is called a reo bar. i had to trim a bit off mine to get it back on. just mark on the reo how much you have to cut and get out the grinder. lol.

i was hoping i woudlnt have to cut it but i guess it aint that bad... its a bit anoyn but i thought they were ment to b bolt on kit basically lol

yeah, i had to cut a little, i rang and asked if i had to cut anything when purchasing, and they said no :)

only way to not cut would to be to remove the thermo or put a rather thin one on

bolt on kits that come with everything u need should also include an angle grinder haha

or say on them

"Bolt on Intercooler...

Caution: by no means necessary will this part will not bolt on!)

i got the same intercooler and got the guys at eas performance to fit it for me and the only cutting that was done was the plastic bits on the front of the standard r34 front bar and that was it. i can see mine sits up against the reo bar but no cutting or trimming on it at all.

    • Hi Dave and welcome! 
    • I have S15 helical too. It is a bit worn. I think the drive behaviour you describe is related to this wear. Wear of helicals is something that no-one seems to have paid a lot of attention to, but now that they (as in original Nissan ones) are all a bit old - we're starting to  see the consequences. The ends of the helical spurs wear into the casing. That's where they perform the braking that diverts torque. Some of the more modern helical designs have proper wear surfaces introduced there, but the Nissan ones are just steel on steel (or iron).
    • I've had a range of rear diff centres - open, viscous, helical, mechanical, welded, etc.   I can't go past a refreshed factory 32 gtr centre for consistent lock and street driving. The next step up for me would be the nismo 1.5 way , which likely suits you better as track sounds like the focus. Will chatter in carparks but its not the worst.   I have never tried a quaife rear diff, an option I've looked at before and might be one for you .....   Currently playing with an S15 centre at the moment and I hate it.  The transition from single wheel spin either side is just weird.
    • Honestly, I did think the PDM could do it and thought Haltech told me the pump didn’t like it. But after re-reading the emails and comments above, I clearly misunderstood lol.
    • I also run a CD009. I'm currently on a 4.08 and it's not great. I originally intended to run a 3.3 but had issues, more on that later. I'd stick to anywhere between a 3.3-3.7 as found in the 350z.  As for brands of ring and pinions, absolutely stay away from Speedtek. They are absolute garbage. See my build thread for more information on that. I went through two of there 3.3's and both had bad runout. They were paperweights and they have still yet to refund me.  I ended up putting in a Nissan 4.08, which was better then the original 4.36 but is far from ideal. I'm going to pop a 3.5 in this winter. I'd stick Nissan. I've also heard of a company "Neat Gearboxes" that makes them. Haven't tried them, but they can't be worst then Speedtek...
