Ended! Gb: Gktech Front Mount Kits! $400! Ended!

Recommended Posts

Ok guys i'm organising a group buy for the GKTech front mount kits.

Starting 15/5 and ending in 2 weeks on the 29th/5 (or when we have 10 buyers, another GB will be started if this 1 fills)

Kits available to suit

S13/S14/S15

R32/R33/R34

A31

RNN14 GTi-R AND GC8 WRX!!

Details on the kits :

The front mount bar and plate intercooler kits are constructed entirely of high quality 6061 aluminum and the intercooler core is 100% vacuum brazed. The polished aluminum end tanks are hand TIG welded for a perfect fit. The ambient fin pitch has been adjusted to provide an optimal fin density of 15 fins/inch. This gives the intercooler excellent flow properties as well as a large cooling surface area, and the efficient Bar & Plate core takes advantage of these properties. The piping is all mandrel bent and contains only 1 weld mark throughout the whole kit. The kit includes 1x 600x 300x 76mm intercooler, polished aluminimum piping, all brackets, nuts, bolts, tripple layer silicon hoses, clamps etc.

The kits are designed to be installed DIY and are very easy to install.

Features & Specs:

-All TIG Welded 6061 Aluminum, polished end tanks

-100% Vacuum Brazed Core

-High Efficiency Bar & Plate Construction

-3 popular Sizes available

-Inlet/Outlet: 3inch

-Low pressure drop w/ only 0.2psi at 15psi of boost

-Tested CFM: 1020 CFM

-Fin Pitch: 15 Fins/Inch

-Four Threaded Universal Mounting Points

We need 10 buyers for the GB to go ahead, so post in here if you're in. Kits will be purchased once we have 10 buyers, and sent out soon after purchase.

Price for each kit is $400 + postage (see below for postage cost) and pickup will be available from me in Melb. (Western suburbs)

Thats a saving of $50 on the normal price of these great quality kits :(

FREIGHT: (all items are sent out by registered post with full insurance)

SA/NSW: $45

QLD: $50

WA/NT: $70

ive been thinking of gettin a hybrid kit, but at this price these seem pretty attractive.. how do these compare to the hybrid stuff? does anyone have any experience with them?

PLENTY of these kits have been sold on SAU and ns.com etc...they're good quality, not some shoddy product...

genuine hybrids are $1200+ in store...and imo dont really compare to Blitz and ARC kits of similar price...but thats just my opinion :woot:

Hybrid is a brand that is manufactured in China, they market their products very well and spend A LOT of money on marketing. The gktech product fits great and is as good as the Hybrid, if not better. The reason the gktech kit is so much cheaper is that Greg (the owner) doesn't spend tens of thousands of dollars a year on marketing.

ok really interested, you were saying these are diy? How easy are they to put on as i have no experience in doing something this big!

Assuming you are talking about the R33 GTS-T kit you have to remove your piping that connects to the intercooler, remove your front bar, get a whole saw and cut a 3" hole just below the washer bottle (the exact location is in the installation guide), mount the intercooler with the provided brackets, mount the piping and silicon hoses, check to make sure the top pipe is not touching the fan blade (some people do say it touches slightly, others are fine, if it does touch you will need to trim the blade slightly accrodingly) and then tighten up the clamps once everything is fitted. The vacuum hose which was on the stock intercooler pipe is now to be T pieced off another vacuum hose (the hose that comes from the wastegate).

Overall the kit is not hard to install. If when installing your get into any difficulty we're available 7 days a week to help over the phone or email, PM, sms etc. etc.

what is involved in installing an r34 kit? ...well its in a stagea with an r34 gtt engine

...really need to fill the gaping hole in my front bar

The R33 GTS-T, R34 GTT and Stagea all require the same mods listed above.

Overall it's quite an easy kit to install and will certainly fill your gap in the front bar :)

The RB25 kit is the same as the R32 GTS-T further up the page.

This fits much better than the one you have hosted EGA41T as you can see where there is an extra pipe in our kit on that one there is not and the angle's aren't right where the 2 pipes meet up.

Musky - Bar and plate cools better, whereas tube and fin flows better. It's a catch 22 :S

P.S I'm leaving for Taiwan in a few hours and won't be back until Wednesday week. I may not be able to reply to queries within the usual 12 hour period. Sorrt for the inconvenience.

how hard is it to take off the front bar??? does it just have a few holding screws on the reo bar?? i'm def. wanting a FMIC for my R33..

also how do these dimentions compare to the GTR size? not that its all that imporant but I'm looking for a IC that isn't too big however I have no idea when it comes to sizes...

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
