Looking at getting larger intercooler for my r33 gtst. I am told it makes a considerable difference. Can any one let me know if they have done it and how much difference it makes? Turbo specialist down my way says to put a proper r33 larger intercooler in it costing fitted around $1500. Does this sound right?are there other brands that will fit and may be better? Can you get them 2nd hand or would you be better with a new one? Any idea with the standard one would be worth anything 2nd hand?

if u have a budget for around $1500 go to www.nengun.com and get sent over the HKS Type R cooler, its 600mm x 300mm x 100mm...i got a Hybrid cooler for 1100 off a group buy on the forums which is pretty good, on the dyno got extra 23rwkw and allows to put the boost up bit more and cooler intake temps...

cheers...ben.

Yeah I purchased a blitz 'cooler (600 / 300 / 75 for 1700AUD a few months ago - it was easy to fit and throttle response increased quite a bit. Dynoed 175rwkw @ 5800 on dyno dynamics but couldn't rev out due to bad fuel pump (pinging)

I think you could get one cheaper than that - I just didn't have the time to look. Had to trim the front bar a fair bit though

yes for 1500 you could get a nice cooler from nengun. i got the a greedy vspl (600x276x76)and the cooler was actually only about 900 with a couple hundred for shipping. only bad thing was everything was in japanese... check www.nengun.com out and see what u like.

i dont think you would need to go any thicker than 76mm as well...

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
