Hi, I am having trouble picking a cooler for my R34 GT-T. I currently have a GTR front mount but have decided not to use it and just buy a kit. I'll be running a Power FC, AVC'r, full turbo back exhaust, either a HKS 2530 or 2540 turbine and am looking for between 220-250 rwkw. Any ideas please. Thanks :D

I plan the same mods as you for my 33, PFC & 2530.

Currently have a full 3" exhaust, and went with the Trust VSPL kit (600/276/75). I'm aiming for a responsive street car.

Have you checked out the locally made Hybrids 600/300/65 $1400? Allot of people will recommend them.

I have a greddy/trust RSPL kit. hasn't provided any restriction yet. and no noticable pressure drop. Intake temp remains max 5 degrees above ambient. Took about 2 hours to install and the power difference was immediately noticable. The 440rwkw GTST from JMS Runs a 4inch thick trust cooler. Apex ones look funky...haven't had much experience with them.

HKS Type-S for a R34 GT-T plumbs back under the cooler to the original pipes. Thats why I want one, stuff going over the engine bay. You can buy a HKS upgrade kit for the rest of the pipes worth about $800-$900.

Check it out for yourself at: -

(Thanks to Franks for that one, legend!)

As far as I know on the R33's they flow over the engine bay.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
