Nice, must admit I was a bit jealous once it started going together...

Did we get the fan direction right?

Sure did. 'Cause I can't hear it kick in, not like the factory one. I was lucky to see it just stop spinning yesterday morning before going to work.

I just need to organise that waterproof connection you showed me.

That's excellent mate, smarter than we look eh? Maybe one weekend soon,you can just drop in & we'll do the plug. Only need to pull the grille back out to get at it, less than half an hours work, and you'll be on your way.:thumbsup:

The sway bar group buy isnt even over yet and I'm looking at more bits...

Just wondering if anyone is interested in a new group buy for these? Seems like 10 is the magic number.

I'm keen to help out to get this sorted.

HDI intercoolers are about $770 + $50 shipping on ebay, so any saving would be worthwhile.

Are HDI the only people doing kits? Not worth talking to PWR or similar?

The other kit is the Blitz cooler kit from Just Jap at about $900.....the HDI ones are better!.....not to mention the price being better. PWR will custom make one for you but unless your planning on running 500AWKW's it's not really worth it as we have proved how well the HDI one flow's.

What power are people using these things to ?

I'm about 500hp at the crank on BP98 atm.......Aaron on his next run will be about 550-570hp at the crank on E85.....this is with the VQ25.....both of us run the HDI FMIC....GT2!......neither of us have had flow problems with it....should be good for at least 600hp.

i second that!

the other reason why its much better is because theres a minimal pressure loss which means your turbo wont work as hard to fill up the huge core, as it would a blitz

I enquired with PWR, but the cost was too high although their coolers are pretty good.

Ryan, if you want an HDi cooler, I can organise it for you at the GB price as I have for others since the GB.

PM me know if/when you want to go ahead :)

GT2 = yes

HDi clamps = If you are referring to these http://hybrid-power.com/HDI%20CLAMP/HDI%20CLAMP.html, yes there is one in the kit for joining the piping behind the washer bottle. The rest are used on the silicon joiners and are basically these http://www.norma.net.au/norma-gbs.html

I'll check shipping to NZ, PM me your address so I can get an accurate quote.

Cam not trying to knock those HDI silicone joiner clamps.. but i found the reason why mine kept blowing off is because the band is too large area wise.... also the HDI ones cant be tightened as much or the bolt tightening them snaps. and obviously not tightening enough is not good.. the thread also strips..

reccomend using generic SS ones with a thinner band.. havnt had problems since thumbsup.gif

EDIT: that and 20 psi

No stress mate, just giving them the heads up as to which clamps are in the kit.

As an aside, not one of my clamps have come off nor loose.

I did strip one though but only because it couldn't really fit around the joiner to grab enough thread :blush: .

I only found that the one that connects to the BOV intake pipe was juuuuust big enough, but have had no issues with any clamps coming off... then again, I haven't heard of anyone else having a prob with them either :ph34r:

lol Craigs did once..

but im the only one using them running 20+ psi lol

i had a problem with the drivers side part of the cooler clamp..

BUT.. none the less, a Great product! blowing a cooler hose turns the car off so it doesnt damage anything anyway

Awesome news, cheers.

Search showed up the Blitz kit, but seemed like it was a pain to fit and had no benefit over the HDI. PWR was just someone I was curious about. Figured the cost would be high but didnt know if they were good enough to make it worthwhile.

Will go the HDI shortly! Thanks!

Looks like the thermo fans are still available... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/12-INCH-LOW-PROFILE-HIGH-PERFORMANCE-THERMO-FAN-/120697595024?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c1a232490#ht_1556wt_689

They're still available with the wiring kit, but looking at this thread seems like the wiring kit isn't required.

If I have just given everyone the wrong link please let me know...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
