i got one on my r33. pick em up on ebay pretty cheap, try get a typhoon one, they are a bit bigger than the stock xr6 turbo intercooler, will handle up to 300killer wasps. do a search in this forum. a couple of us have fitted them and show pics. im pushing 330rwhp through mine but are no good if you are doing track or constant drag events as they heat soak. for general driving they are great as you don't need to chop the reo in any way to make them fit

killer wasps, hehe. :D sweet as. they difficult to fit? i might go for a bigger after market rx6 intercooler, because i give the car a fair bit of curry and it gets extremely hot, and it doesnt help when i live in Darwin

if you live in Darwin i wouldn't even bother with the xr6 intercooler and get yourself a 600*300*76 in there otherwise you will loose alot of power with heat soak.

yea, :D im meaning to buy a 600x300x76 intercooler off boostcruising brand new for $150, but doesnt have the same side intet/out let. and i dont really like the idea of running 6 kilometers of piping before it goes into the engine.

i made my own piping when i had the 600*300 in. made a tight 180 degree elbow from the outlet to a straight piece of pipe just behind the intercooler and made it run up into the factory intercooler holes

thats the most.....GREATEST IDEA EVER!! i never thought of that. awesome :D Thanks, thats settles it, buying the $150 one off boost :) you could probably tell i only decided on putting an intercooler on in the last couple of hours so not much thought went into it.

    • Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage 
    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
