Hey guys, I'm in the process of shopping around for a new fmic and was wondering about which is the best 'cooler to get. I've been looking at ordering a Trust one from Japan which sounds pretty good but I also saw Xspeed had HKS Type S kits for a reasonable price (if they have them in stock). Which would be the better choice? I was also considering a Hybrid kit as I've heard they are pretty good. But the Hybrid kit is a bar & plate design where as the Trust and the HKS ones are tube & fin (pretty sure). Is there much difference between these designs? Any thoughts guys?

hehe, i know what your on about Loz :P

I think though that Kym (strechnine) has devised a plan after his DIY install.

I will be checking out his handy work and see if i should attempt the master feat :( and if i find it easy enough... Loz, for your birthday...whenever that is... and with Paulies permission... i will do your piping as a gesture of good will :D

God bless,

Nate

I decided to go with the Trust/Greddy intercooler kit. Only gonna cost me $1264 for the kit itself, but that's not including the shipping from Japan which I reckon will be about 19500 Yen (roughly $247 maybe?) Good value!

'Good value' as in excellent, not good value as in value for money. It's just one of my sayings, like mintox. Remember mintox? After I've put the 'cooler in I was going to look at tuning options. Would a S-afc be better, or should I go the whole hog and get a Power FC or similar setup as they would give me more tuning options. Any recommendations?

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
