Yeah it sounds like a good one. Do you know what model it is? I had a VSP-L while ago before I was forced to sell it. It should even come with a replacement washer bottle to accommodate the piping. $720 is a bloody good price too... if its new.

Trust dont make kit for sklyines that includes a 800mm wide intercooler, 600mm only. hieght and depth are either 240mm /76mm for the smaller models or up to 294mm /115mm for the drag version.

These specs dont match up so dont expect it to be an actual Trust intercooler.

How much is it?

I recall one person from this forum that purchsed one of those "Trust" intercoolers from

e-bay that turned out to be nothing more than a chinese Hybrid style cooler with the Trust logo sprayed onto the front. This was a dead give away as the core was very obviously not a Trust core and furthermore Trust doesnt spray their logo on their intercoolers.

Be careful

the ppl sound to be genuine, but yeah who knows over the net on ebay

it has trust i think painted on the front with trust stamped onto the top of the cooler aswell

even if its like a hybrid still 720 bucks for all piping and clamps and shit still good enough for me

i'll let yas know what its like

okay i have found your auction...and no i'm not going to buy it..

This is what i know and think from looking at the pics and seeing a genuine one a couple months back that my mate installed.

1. The ebay auction has 3 pics of the cooler etc each one has something different on it.

2. One pic has a side shot of the cooler and you can barely see the trust logo "it was yellow" either it is faded now etc.

3. Another pic has the cooler with a dark blue paint sprayed on it to form the TRUST logo.

4. Another shot seems to have no logo at all, but this may be because of the distance of the shot.

5. The return pipes on a GENUINE TRUST intercooler do not look like that.

6. The End tank on the return side of the intercooler is not how it looks on a GENUINE TRUST intercooler.

7. The return piping does not have greddy stickers on it like the ones on the pictures.

8. The TRUST stamp on the top of the cooler in one shot it looks like a bit genuine, but then i saw the side shot of it and it looks like it has a "Block" sort of border around the TRUST logo, which almost gives it the effect that it may of been sprayed on with like a Silver paint for effect.

This is what i have gathered from seeing the pictures. Even without writing all, i can honestly say its not a genuine greddy/trust kit.

Cheers Rob

PS. Still seems like a good price.

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
