Not a fan of the Plazmaman stuff, never seems to fit correctly every time. There are plenty of great intercoolers that don't cost as much as Nismo.

http://www.nengun.com/has heaps available but if you really want the Nismo one your going to have to have a look around.

Nismo have discontinued the 100mm intercooler, only way to buy it now is privately either new at around $2000 or second hand over $1500! Try ring around tuner shops that might have one laying around. It's a sort after part now as nismo no longer makes them. If hks or arc won't do it for you then keep an eye out and buy it straight away when one shows up. You will be paying a premium thats for sure. I bought my used in mint condition by harrassing the tuner shop mechanic constantly until he sold it to me. Good luck hunting!

Fitted one today on a 34R, zero issues with fitment.

I really want just the nismo intercooler,i know theres better or similar out there but i want pretty much as many nismo original parts on possible on the car.Id be willing to pay the extra for it as im already in poverty paying off the car anyway,2 minute noodles for a bit longer wont hurt!

just leave the stock one on then.. if you're not making massive HP and your IATs are fairly low there's no need to upgrade an intercooler.

It's like upgrading a fuel pump on your stock Honda Civic GLi.. won't make more power.

Nismo intercooler installed with intercooler hard pipe does give you a bit more power and better response with a tune, but will cost you around $2500 for parts and $800 for a tune so total around $3300. Quiet a bit of money for the gains, but the smile on your face every time you see the nismo sign on the intercooler and the scared shitless wrx driver you are about to pass, priceless!
