I would like to purchase an Intercooler and Full Exhaust kit for my R33 GTS-t. Does anyone have recommendations? I'm looking at spending around 3K for both (new). These components would also need to bolt strait on because I want to install them myself.

I heard the subzero stuff is ok?

What are all your thoughts?

not a bad budget dood for a zorst and intercooler.

depends if u want jap brand or custom made here.

new stuff like apexi or trust for the r33 i think r a cat back 3" system r about $1300, then you got a 3" hi-flow cat which is about $300, then a apexi 3" front pipe which is about $550, about $2100(all fitted). this is all preety expensive brand new, but second hand, right from the turbo back like trust or apexi your looking about $1000-1200.

something custom made here, a 3" off the turbo with a nice polished muffler, stainless steel right through, about $1500-2200

i think (fitted), im guessing less if not fitted.

try www.japanesemotorsport.com.au for second hand parts, they deliver OZ wide.

for the intercooler, well you might need a bigger budget if you want new from brands like trust or apexi. but second hand from them for a descent size like 600 x 300 with piping should be about $1500-$2500. if your on a budget, then id say go for a second hand GTR intercooler which is rated at 450hp, its 600 x 300 x 65, so its big enough, they are about $500-$700 bucks, then you have to go to a shop to make up the piping for you, mild steel is about 200 bucks or $300 bucks fitted(rough estimate), a bit more for aluminium, a better choice since this dont rust, plus looks a lot better.

if i were you, id buy a new cat back 3" exaust from apexi or trust for $1300, then go to an exaust place like Austalias best or liverpool exuast to get a new 3" hi-flow cat and a custom made 3" stainless steel front pipe. this should be about another 500 bucks, so $1800 (fitted)for the exaust.im sure it will be a bit cheaper if they are not fitting it for you.

since you have a budget of 3 grand, that leaves 1200 for the intercooler. i guess then id go for the second hand R33 GTR intercooler, try japanese motorsport or a wrecker for this, dont pay more than 700 for it, because they go for about 200 bucks in japan for a good condition one, then go to a place where they make intercooler piping and hoses, all this should be about $1000 bucks (fitted), again depending on how much you get the cooler for and what piping.

that = to about $2800 i think.

this is from my point of view, but do a little research b4 you buy.

also remember that prices vary from shop to shop.

    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
