Pretty sure it'll fit. You've got multiple options with the piping:

  1. Go return flow and run custom return pipe under the cooler to connect to OEM piping. Pros: Legal. Cons: Long runs of piping, reduced ground clearance.
  2. Go GTR style flow and run return pipe through the battery tray, then custom bends to connect to OEM plenum. Pros: Shorter piping. Cons: Defectable.
  3. Go GTR style flow and get a front-facing plenum. Pros: Shortest piping, best performance. Cons: Defectable, expensive.

All that said the least amount of headache would be a ready-made aftermarket return flow intercooler with hard piping, something like Blitz or Cooling Pro. Sell your GTR one for a few $$, buy one of those, fit and plumb it up, trim front bar (and maybe reo) a bit, job done.

Custom piping will get expensive unless you know someone or are good with the welder.

Thanks for the reply mate. Yeah it currently has a front mount with custom piping. The front bar has been grinded back to make it fit and a hole drilled near the battery tray. The cooler came with the car and is some chinese brand. If the gtr cooler is a upgrade then Ill look at the fitment of it. Engine will be coming out soon for a rebuild, so Ill play around with it then. Front facing plenum sounds interesting.. Are they a worthy upgrade? Have heard mixed things about them. Im not to fussed on legality of it as it will be mainly a track car. Probably end up trailering it in the future anyways.

GTR cooler may or may not be an upgrade.  How can we tell when we have no idea about the Chinese one you have.

Seeing as you already have the plumbing in place, if you really really really want to do something, then follow advice above, sell GTR cooler to fund purchase of one that absolutely is known to be better.

FFP are of no use to you unless you are;

  1. making squazzillions of powers and/or,
  2. desperate for the space required to fit a massive top mount turbo, in which case see 1.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.

      It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
