Definitely less pokey. AC is fine since it was regassed just before I bought the car. Even with the hdi intercooler the heat really takes the oomph out of the engine. The difference was very discernible when we had the hot days early last week and the cooler last couple of days.

The stock ecu drops timing out heavily on hot days and ramps up the fuel, its what Nissan had to do to save an engine that's being thrashed on a hot day. If you can lower the intake temp you wont notice it as much.

So was the bigger intercooler suppose to help with the hot weather?

with the last 6-7 day's we have had in Sydney it would not matter what IC you had....you would still be see a considerable change in drivability!.....I'm just glad I no longer have my standard one!

You can try a cooling spray on the IC. Jaycar have a kit.

On M35's the intake air temp sensor is in the AFM. You could put ice in the intercooler and the ECU would still see the same temperature. Ice in the airbox would work...

Last time I checked dry ice made CO2... not combustible- but cold! So it would prob make a good combustion extinguisher! :thumbsup:

Maybe one of those massive dry ice chamber/intercoolers that the dyno cars/drag cars run!!!

Do they sell a Temperature Cut defender...?:rolleyes:

In the R33 manualon page EN13 it shows where the temp sensor is. It looks like it is in the T/B. I could be wrong, but if this is so a spray unit on the fmic would help in the C34s.

most definitely would work me thinks.....and probably quite well!

    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
    • Good work. I will say, this line circled however, will potentially pool with oil, as it's going from high, to low, to high, before heading downwards.
    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
