Check Plazaman's cooler kits. they cost bit more but they are very good at heat exchange. Had one on 24psi and the cool side end tank remain cold through out the dyno tune. Wither some of the cheap return flows coolers turned burning hot after couple of runs.

Get TBE 1st before FMIC, & as for FMIC I would just get the just jap black return flow one as it bolts using the stock pipe locations without having to cut holes & its stealthy...

But if you are not going to run more boost than stock, I wouldn't bother with a FMIC at this stage.

Go to a truck wreckers, buy one of the 900 x 600 coolers from a scania.

Take it to a workshop and get it cut down to 3 x 300 x 600 coolers.

Get some end tanks made up for them with no flow testing what so ever.

Get soem custom piping made up from mild steel cause it's just as good.

Polish the end tanks with Autosol for hektik shine.

Hack up your front bar to fit the cooler.

Sell the other 2 coolers left from the cut down truck core for profit.

Edit. Shit sorry. For some reason I woke up thinking it was 1998 today.

Edited by TTT

truck coolers actually flow too much, being the fact that the air travels too fast throught the core to cool it effectively, ebay coolers are fantastic for the price have use them on customers and my own cars from 300-800hp with back to back dyno full power tuining runs with consistant IAT's,

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
