Aren't xr6 coolers taller, therefore giving more surface area for the incoming charge. Skylines are pretty much limited to 300 mm tall.

Yes fg are nearly as tall as the radiator. Ba/bf still get decent gains with a bigger cooler when over 250kw depending on the setup.

A lot of tuners have a simple sensor you can weld a bung on to attach and done. Cost maybe $50 for the bung welded and use whatever they already use

Handy to have IMO, especially if you wanna play around with a setup a bit.

Years ago my son got a Just Jap cooler for our GTR in 100mm, the biggest issue we had back then was the side brackets had to be cut, repositioned and welded which was a unseen (by him) cost, unsure if the current ones have this done correctly. (That was for the R32 GTR cooling Pro coolers)

Front bar on the R32 needed to be cut out about 20 or so mm to fit it back on.

In our case the OEM cooler was simply tired looking but flowed more than enough for what he had, our thoughts back then was that being an extra inch thicker it wouldn't add restriction but we never assumed it would improve over the OEM R32 GTR cooler, the OEM ones are known to be used on over 400Kw builds without issue.

As nismoid mentioned, its no big deal to add the bungs and take some measurements so you have some facts at hand when playing around with setup.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
