Can you give any details about the condition of said cooler? Any major dings, what R series GT-R was it fitted to? Has it been flushed (ie. much oil vapour inside)?

Cheers

Brendan

I'm sorry if this contravenes forums rules... Moderators, please feel free to do what you will to to this post.

But I feel that this is not an HKS intercooler. It is unlike ANY HKS intercooler in their current range... It's a different design, and all current range HKS intercoolers are polished.

I may be wrong and this may be an older HKS release, but I guess I just don't want anyone to buy this as an HKS intercooler if it isn't one.

Cheers,

Andrew.

Merli---> This intercooler is on its way from japan as we speak, and you need to remember that there were a hell of a lot more intercooler models released in japan, then the rest of the world ever saw. Now I am going on information given to me by one of my japanese suppliers, and he hasnt let me down yet.

I think we can safely say by looking at it, that is probably isnt in their current range. By looking at it, it is probably a few years old. This in no way hampers its condition, and just means it is probably an older model.

I really dont appreciate you thrying to say that this isnt HKS, when I have clearly stated previously that it is.

and I have no reason to say a product is something that it is not. If I did, then my business wouldnt last very long, and I would not be able to continue to sponsor the Skylines Australia Forum.

Kristian,

I realise that you wouldn't appreciate my post. That's obvious. But please realise that it isn't a malicious post to try and stop you from your sale.

Rather, it is a post to try and stop somebody buying goods that aren't as advertised. We've had issues with people selling "HKS" or "NISMO N1" turbos on here before that have turned out (after some investigation into A/R ratios and photo evidence) that they were standard turbos. Can you imagine if you had bought those turbos under false advertising?

As I said in my post in this case, I AM NOT SURE, and this intercooler could very well be from an older range, but it is most definitely not from their current lineup.

Secondly, All HKS parts I have seen have HKS cast into the part, whether it be on the dump pipe, intercooler end tanks, exhaust, etc... Is this stamped/cast with HKS?

If this genuinely is an HKS product, you should be able to prove it (easily, since you are a business and all, and have access to much more data than the average bloke) and this thread can move on without any drama!

Cheers,

Andrew.

Not trying to start a biatch fight here and you seem to be bringing some good deals to the forums, but according to forum rules, shouldn't you be posting in the business section?

Merli---> It is a HKS 3 layer intercooler. It is currently in transit from Japan, as I stated earlier. When it gets here, I will take a photo of the HKS stamp on it.

It is quite simple. If someone buys it, and I deliver it to them, and it isnt HKS, they get their money back.

Excellent!

Thanks for not being a d1ck about this...

Hi Kristian

Wonder if you can give me a run down on it's condition now. Photos aren't quite big enough. Or is it best to wait for it to land? BTW, what's the ETA and what sort of $$$ to have shipped to Perth?

Thanks

Brendan

It is in good condition, no it hasnt been flushed, shipping to perth would be around $45. ETA, hopefully the container gets here, and unloaded before the docks shut down for christmas. otherwise, it will be first week in January.

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
