I recently picked up a stock R32 intercooler very cheap

it has a few bent fins and a dent on the front but no leaks

I was going to install it on my R32 gtst basically to make it look a little more stock and not so obvious that the car has been modified so cops may not give me as much s##t for it

I was speaking to my mechanic who does all my work quite cheap

He recommended I buy an aftermarket cooler kit as it's going to be more expensive to install as the piping is harder to fit and he'll need to get a hold of some brackets for me

Has anyone else installed a stock GTR intercooler on a gtst? Was it really that hard?

Cheers

If you get ALL of the GTR piping setup including all brackets, it does fit but you will still need custom pipework from compressor outlet to bulkhead fitting and from bulkhead fitting to throttle body.. unless you have a forward facing plenum then mucho easier to go with an aftermarket kit.

I have fitted a GTR cooler/bov setup to my 32gtst using all factory GTR bits but I have a high mount turbo and custom plenum. Oh and GTR piping is like 3.25"

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc. 
    • Races cars don't care for VIN either...
    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
