I replaced mine with a fully tig replacement as it was leaking in 2-3 different areas, I paid $400 exchange for it & it was in Canberra, one leak was above the buzzbar & caused it to corrode for reasons unknown, I threw in a new buzzbar & glowplugs whilst I was there, all good
Yeah let us no how they go, my IC is stuffed too, I've been doing some homework and apparently there are some Chinese ones on the market that are poor quality. Something about poor quality castings.
03 ST-L auto, Dawes and needle valve, provent catch can, 3' exhaust. I want more than I got
My intercooler needs replacing on my patrol as well.. Has anyone tried one of these ones from ebay? Look like a $1200 ASE Job for half the price.. Comes with thermo fan, new piping and everything
not sure why you you want to pay the extra for piping as OE is fine, decent after market tigged are around $400 or less now with no change over.
Mine is Diesel Smart and can't be happier,
To all who read this if your IC is oily and dirty chances are its no good and leaking.

Nah not really for the piping haha.. Cause its the size of a Cross country intercooler with the under mounted thermo fan.. My intercooler is well and truly stuffed so weighing up between a tigged replacement and the bigger upgrades.. Also will be matching either with a bigger bonnet scoop.. For the price didnt look too bad ha

Dont own a Patrol or any 4WD at the moment, hopefully will change into the future
You really think that CC IC is worth $1300 plus dollars , Mudski and I have been all over this and finally prices are coming down.
even $400 for a $50 core there is not $350 worth of welding, The more you stray from OE the more can go wrong and it will when
you least expect it. Bigger scoop and tigged ic will see your EGTs low enough

For 1300 I couldn't see it being worthwhile no, better things too spend money on I reckon ha..

I ended up buyin a second hand tig welded intercooler . already my EGT runs about 50degrees lower . im happy with that . I guess the ones on ebay would be the same or better
