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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
