Well I just went and cleaned it and gave myself a bit of a surprise; it is actually a Trust cooler not the stocker. Obviously replaced in Japan before the car got here. Trust is stamped on the top and bottom.

However since this is much much bigger(and also worth alot more) than the stock 34 cooler I am going to make the price $250 ono and buyer pays postage.

Pictures linked, you can barely make out the Trust stamping due to the flash on the camera but if you look closely it is there.

I'm interested, but do you have a better pic it, one with the logo? That picture doesn't really do it justice if it is a Trust cooler. Also, what are the measurements..

Cheers.

I am very interested!

Measurements would be good so I know just how much bigger/thicker than my stock GTT one. Happy to pay freight. Not sure if it will bolt straight onto 33 but if it came off your 34 then it will fit mine 100% :)

Thanks

Ok heres some better pictures showing the stamping on the top and bottom. Ignore the dirty garage carpet. :)

Size of the core is 240mm long x 190mm high x 100mm thick.

Unfortunately thats a bit of a "How long is a piece of string?" question.

As it is a much thicker core you should expect some power gain, and less heat soak, however the exact % will vary for each car.

The intercooler is not the limiting factor in how much boost you can run, its the turbo and all the support systems. For reference though, I was running 13psi on it with no issues.

Gtrghostdog,

Yes the cooler would be more than adequate for that setup. You will need the short 90 degree pipe and a silicon reducer and two clamps as well. These are included in the price.

But Razorsharp is in the process of putting a deposit down so if that falls through I'll let you know.

the IC should come with a small bracket that bolts to the rail, the 90 elbow, the rubber/silicon hose (AFAIK it is not a reducer and is rubber) and the various bolts and nuts. the IC bolts straight up to an R33 with a bit of fussing around. ducting the bugger takes a bit time but worth the extra effort.

Hey pushhead, did you have to modify anything or was it a direct fit?

Also, how much is postage to SA?

Can you find out asap, as I am quite keen.

for an R33 GTS-T with M-Spec front bar, I did not have to modify anything at all. Remove stock intercooler and replace it directly with this. I haven't dyno my car to compare it with the stockies but I can tell you it felt like the turbo spool faster. I'm very surprised that no one actually jump in and buy this quickly. For $250 this is too cheap seriously. dont want to spoil anything but errr these cost just abit less than a trust front mount assuming trust front mount are $1500 new these go for $1100 roughly new.

I was next in line if the deal with Razorsharp falls through!

I am very keen to buy this and have the money ready and waiting!!!

Gtrghostdog would be after me technically.

    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:
