Does anyone know the max size/dimensions of each of these that our cars can take without the need for modification to fit? Having had the engine rebuilt I was considering some bigger coolers/smics but not sure whats the biggest I can go.

 

Any you have experience with would be appreciated too!

 

Cheers in advance..:bow:

Godspeed smics matey :D:D:dance::dance:

 

Go for it Vig, nice little project for you, and when you have completed the task, you will have the biggest grin on your face matey.

lol....pricey though eh! And all that work to make them fit...:(

You will learn alot about your 300, the more work you do yourself. But if you are not up for it, no worries matey.

I got a set of PACE SMIC's. Fit straight in with no problem at all but i believe they can be quite expensive brand new (I got mine second hand!)

Pretty sure MAC1 and a few others are running them too.

Oooo...the throwdown!! lol..I don't mind doing the work and would quite like to but its more a matter of total cost and effort as I don't have much time for either at the moment...:(

I heard PACE were the choice for most but as you say they do seem to be pretty pricey. I've been scouring ebay, etc..but nothing has come up yet...

Im pretty sure Legrath has posted a chart somewhere with stock dimensions compared to the different aftermarket intercoolers.

I did have a quick squiz at that earlier on...

I would'nt go any larger than a 19row 235mm wide oil cooler. Its the same size Nissan fitted for the UK models and market as a Nismo cooler. Any larger and you would start to restrict airflow to the main radiators.

 

As for Intercoolers, larger is'nt always better, however the godspeeds are very good value for money, significantly cheaper than all others and fitment issues dont seem to be a big issue. If you wanted to spend a little more and not havign any fitment issues then the Z1 Smic's are also very good value for money and have a good reputation.

Cheers bud..just what I was looking for!! Much appreciated.

 

As a UK model though...does this mean that I already have the 19row cooler meaning I don't really need to get a new one (assuming its working well!)?

 

In which case I should just go for uprated intercoolers?
