I got a Hybrid Monster intercooler, and I'd have to say it is an excellent cooler. The polished piping kit looks the goods as well. Installed in 5hrs and the improvement is sensational.

I got it for an awesome price as well, if your intersted PM me and I'll pass your details onto the seller.

Hi, people

I sell Hybrid kits for the skyline R33 for $1050 which include free shipping anywhere in Australia and free boost gauge. I also sell the AVO kit for the r33 for $1,350.00. (shipping $45)

Please ask firebladejr as he has recently purchased the hybrid kit from myself

It seems these days with out money been pretty good compare to the japanese yen, the price of intercooler kits seems to drop a fair bit.

Like considering a few hundreds buck difference, I would go for a branded intercooler like the Trust one. Not saying there is anything wrong with the Hybrid intercoolers.

I notice none of the responses so far have mentioned the size of intercooler you should use.

What sort of power level are you looking for?

The selection of the right sized flow of intercooler will make the difference to how much value for money the upgrade offers.

The hybrid intercoolers seem quite good from all acounts and they have a few different sized cores availible (don't just assume bigger is better here).

That's a fair call rev210.

I was actually told that a too big of an intercooler will make the turbo work harder and not necessary make more power. Not sure if this is true or not.

I guess it depends on how much power you are aiming for and if you are to decide further down the track to change to a bigger turbo.

Where do you think the HKS and Trust ones are made?

Where do you think they are made? There is a HUGE difference in quality between the HKS and Trust intercoolers compared to the Chinese coolers that a lot of people are selling. I'll tell you one thing for sure, you would have a very hard time trying to sell those Chinese things in Japan. The Japanese customers know quality when they see it.

The Trust coolers are exceptionally good quality. I definately wouldn't buy the V-SPL kit though. It uses an extruded core like PWR or ADRAD. You are better off to get one of them, as at least you can get them in 73mm compared to 65mm for the Trust. The R-SPL however, is an awesome core. Very high cooling efficiency, but of course you have to pay for it.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
