Hi fellas...just installed a fmic piping kit from on of the sponsors here onto my r32 gtst...it fits fine except for the crossover pipe from under the battery that passes over the fan and cas...when the bonnet is closed the pipe is pushed down and it hits the fan...has anyone encountered this with their fmic piping installs and how have you countered this? at the moment...i have gone backyard mechanic style on the car and trimmed the fan blades...problem is that now the fan makes a sh!tload of noise and doesn't disengage even after driving for awhile...any help would be appreciated...cheers...

you need to cut the pipe a bit that leads to the engine, or thats what i did on mine and ive had no problems. When i got the intercooler kit i was told to do this cause the kit was for a r33, but with the little mod would fit a r32.

I bought a GREDDY FMIC kit for my R32 just a few weeks ago. i didnt need to cut the fan at all. i think with the hybrids for example it actually tells u in the install instructions to cut the fan to fit the pipe.Though my bonnett has slightly flattened about 10cm of the top of the pipe. barely noticeable but that might be the solution. u need a different crossover pipe that sits higher in the engine bay rather than lower. otherwise get used to the noise.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
