How much power are you chasing? I definately don't know Intercooler size to power requierments, it all depends on the position, type and size.

The standard cooler is about half the size and can cope with about 180rwkw at the wheels so I would say that a 400 by 260 by 65 could cope with 250rwkw+.

Well i was told by con @ c&v performance...Well first i told him that i was chaseing arround 390hp @ the engine and he said ''the bigger the better''.And i said ''how big'' n he said 300 by 600 by 90.U c the bigger the drop in inlet temps the easier its gonna be to make safe power.He also said that its better when playing with the timing to have cooler inlet temps and there is less chance of detonation when running high ammounts o booosto.

So thats it the bigger the better. :alien:

what psi will you be running when the bigger fmic is fitted, as a mate put a larger core in and lost 6psi from 22psi so there may be a small drop to expect too. oh yeah he used a supra core so it was semi quality!!

Theres no big turbo yet im just thinkin about it my car is gettin a respray a kit and maybe a front mount if there is any money left.A bigger turbo is still a future mod.I think i agree with u mcboost that coola is more than ample for a 390hp @ motor in the future.

just bougth a 300 x 600 x 76 from the intercoolguy and they have pressure drop of only .2 psi (yes that is POINT 2) and the whole thing end to end is 800 x 600 x 76

he makes good stuff

:rofl::rofl: :elaugh: :spcartman

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.

      gauge needle removal

      By JC71 · Posted

      I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.

      Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds

      Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.

      Wheel refurb?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
