So all this recent talk about the HDi intercooler kits for VQ25det Stagea's had me searching for a "better" price than I was quoted by HDi (just under $1.1k shipped).

Thankfully I have found a supplier that can do such a price - it ain't an awesome price, but it is better >_<

Anyway, $697 is the price which includes express shipping to your door (1-3 business days from when I place the order).

To get this price, we will need a minimum of 10 orders.

Kit includes everything (GT2 intercooler, piping, clamps, joiners, brackets) except the slimline fan - which can be found on eBay

You can see in the below graph that they are an extremely efficient unit, the GT2 core also incorporates HDi's patented Traverse Aero Dynamic Heat Transfer Element which reduces Air restriction to the radiator which can be of concern with normal bar and plate designs.

Group buy will end on the 14th December at which time I will place the order if we have 10 or more that have paid up.

I will require upfront payment as I am not prepared to be stuck with extra units (nor do I have the disposable to buy 10 units!)

Post here of PM :laugh:

So I just received an email with a revised quote from HDi for a kit sent down to Melbourne.

Down from the $1088 original quote to $873 due to the shipping address being in Melb Metro.

Two things...

1) Fro those who have purchased from HDi before, is this how they usually work

2) The group buy price still stands (20% saving and 1-3 day delivery is not too bad IMO)

ok so if im correct $873 is non group buy and $697 is group buy?? i will put it to the boss of the house ;) not sure how i can explain to her its worth the money but i will do my best as i really want one of these. any ideas?? :down::P remember my xmas present is already the dump pipe!!

This seller claims the kit can be used with the standard fan no slim line required and not supplied? Comments from some one who has fitted one?
I believe that someone has done it successfully - have to angle it just right- (on this forum but can't remember who) so it is not a false claim but most find it easier to get a slimmer fan.

When the prototype with HDI and the first production kit was done we used a 12" thin fan(easy job...there about $50). From memory is a very snug fit even with this.

Would be good to keep the original fan but pretty sure it has to go!

Don't know who got the original fan to fit.....would have be extremely tight! kudos to them as well!!! I guess you could have a shot at doing it!

i put one in and got a slimline fan instead of the stock one.

remember you may need to change the polarity of the new fan, so dont hard wire them. use plugs so you can change them if needs be

thats their normal price

kit also needs cutting of the reo bar etc due to it being mounted further forward so it doesnt foul the thermo fan.

its cheaper to buy the HDi kit with a $35 thermo fan than getting the Blitz kit and cutting away stuff youll need in an accident

small are the dimensions, and thin also lol

you wont get any power upgrading (or very little), youll get consistent performance no matter the temperature, and allow you to increase the boost safely.

is the factory core on the m35 really that bad? i have seen a number of cars with small cores getting absolutely no gains from upgrading to bigger ones..

anyone know the dimensions of the factory one?

nope....it's not that's bad for a standard FMIC.....it's just way to small for the heat cycle it's put through.

and the GT2 core shit's all over it for flow! :P

All group buys need to be run out of the GB section of the forums.

We have specific rules and information we deem a requirement for such things to be organised.

Please go and have a read, and when ready, start a thread there with the required information.

Thanks.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
