[inark]

hey guys...

my GTR fmic came in the mail today from Mark from centreline which is all good!

but... as u can see in the pics its a little rough... will it still work ok? or will i need to get it repaired?

[Morgs]

It dosen't look too bad? only surface dents?

How much did you pay, and how long did it take to get here? PM me if you want

[NISMO]

Inark,

If it's just the fins that are dented then it shouldn't be a problem. Just grab yourself some long nose pliers and straighten them out as much as you can, to allow the air to flow through.

If you don't put mesh infront of the cooler when you fit it you will get that happening all the time from rocks and other crap on the road.

Cheers

Compared to that, mine is an absolute mess but still holds pressure no problems...

Had coloured smoke pumped through it and none came out so it;s all good. The fins are made of super soft metal that oftens snaps off when straightening so b careful. I broke heaps of mine but it still works so don't stress too much.

if in doubt, get it pressure tested.

but it doesnt look too bad at all to me

[T0nyGTSt]

Mine looks worse than that... normal wear and tear.

lmao... thats one of the couches in the kitchen

oh well thats ok then... i'll get it tested this week then... time to get some piping made up

Morgs -

the cooler itself cost me $70AUD but the postage cost 32000yen which is a bit of a killer... Mark had it in his garage for 6 months for me til i could pay for the shipping but had to clear some room so sent it anyway. Hes a good bloke to deal with. He sent it on the 25th and it got here today, the 30th

the back is painted black? is that normal? wont it lessen the efficiency of the cooler?

no stock gtr coolas are painted

[inark]

the whole thing is?

so the front has been "cleaned" up?

[400HP]

Yes all R32/33 GTR coolers are painted black stock. The 34's are polished however so are silver. Yes the front has been cleaned on that one. The black doesn't affect the cooling.

Light damage on the cooler doesn't matter as long as most of it is in tact. The fins aren't as improtant as the tubes so make sure the tubes have no punctures. Mine is similar but has a few squashed fins.... will be u for sale soon if anyone is itnereted.

[inark]

oooooo ok cool... hopefully its all good when i get it tested.
