I wouldn't pay over $250.. Have seen one at $170 a couple of weeks ago and one fro $220 a week before that..(In SAU classifieds)

If it's for a 32 it makes more sense to pay $250-$350 for an ARC replacement as the 34 unit srequire modding

I am probably fitting an FMIC in the next few months. If/when I do mine will be up for sale. Keep your eyes peeled on the forums.

Hi Nightcrawler,

how soon are u going to get FMIC?

and wat kinda price are u after for ur stockie?

yeah I am keen to know why too Bob. I changed my cooler on my S15 with standard turbo, and it allowed for heaps of extra timing and leaning out of fuel.

ZXFIRE - I hope to change it within a month - have just ordered my cooler kit. Will be looking for the normal price around town - I would think around $200 plus delivery. I am in SA.

I pretty much agree regarding changing the cooler for the stock turbo. The stock turbo doesn't really like being over 10psi for very long. At this boost, the stock intercooler is OK. That is, it's not great, but it's not too restrictive. I measured a 1.5 psi drop.

Basically, what he's saying is that some people just change the exhaust cooler, etc and stop there. It's not really worth it, like you spend 1k on intercooler. At that boost, it might only give you a few extra kw, like what's 10 kw?

When you get to a/m turbos and run 1.3 bar or something, that's when the stock cooler would be terrible.

ive got abo bobs old 34 cooler on my car.

the seat of the pants feel was similar to the difference between driving it on a hot day compared to a cool night.

as for the cooler being taller. you can only just stretch (in want for a better word) the plastic inner guard around the 34 cooler to fit. albeit with a bit of manipulation

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
