lingeringsoul Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Was just trial fitting the intercooler today (from JUST JAP) and found a few things I don't have answers for. The original pipe has a little nipple that comes out which is connected to the bleed valve/boost controller. If I take that piece off when I put the new pipe on, where is the boost controller gonna connect to?????. The blue round things in from of the radiator...........would that be the horn?? if so, why are there two of them?? Lastly, big long pipe that goes over the fan, it has a piece of metal coming out with two holes that seems to connect to the two holes on the engine but when I trial fitted on, they don't seem to match up no matter how hard I try. If anyone has some detail pic or info of their front mount install for a Series 2 GTST please help me out.

Savage Bliss Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 You'll prob find the cooler was made for an RB20 as the holes will match up no worries on the side of it. You can suvive without this part attached... I have mates who have just broken it off!!

mid life crisis Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 i would rather spend 10 mins making a bracket than just to rip it off and have a lump of broken weld stuck on the pipe let alone taking the chance of tearing a hole in the pipe while ya just rip it off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107242-a-bit-of-help-with-fmic-installation/#findComment-1981179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl33ek Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 On my Justjap kit the holes on the bracket dont line up on mine as well but its close. Dont really need to attach it as its very stable the way it is Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107242-a-bit-of-help-with-fmic-installation/#findComment-1981281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraith_skyline Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I got a hybrid kit and it said to trim the fan to make the top pipe fit, i also remade the cooler mounts to make it easier to fit. Then i missed when i drilled the hole and made a bit of a mess, but that should be repaired asap Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/107242-a-bit-of-help-with-fmic-installation/#findComment-1983429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
