Hi,

i want to get FMIC for my R33, but i dun like the idea of cuting of fan blades etc.

most importantly i want to use the stock piping route,

i saw this on ebay,

I wana get custom made the pipes to suit it, but wat u guys think?

ARC FMIC used standard piping route, but it inlet and outlet are at each side, but this is both on 1 side.?

werd?

Wouldnt that need a seperator in the middle so the air goes one way then the other, it may have one already otherwise I would imagine the air would go straight from inlet to outlet without cooling..

You want this I reckon: Apexi "Hybrid" fmic

search ebay, I got it delivered from Japan..... a few hundred dollars but in good cond.

Here is one on ebay atm: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/S13-Apexi-intercool...1QQcmdZViewItem

i got a stock R34 intercooler on it at the moment,

for my r33,

it a straight fit, and heaps bigger

but i dun feel the difrent when fitted.

but i heard, FMIC on r33, does improve responds, but u get bit of lag.

alot of the Hydrid or just jap style, the pipe goes over the fan,

i dun like to trim it. Ppl said its doesnt affect the cooling, but am picky person. just dun like the idea, it looks crappy.

About 2yrs ago I replaced the small intercooler with a monster front mount and had the pipping go under the front mount to the original inlet and outlet pipes. The place that did my car is in Villawood about 100mtrs North from the railway station along Woodville road, they also had other front mounts and other kits. However, my pipping is mild steel not alloy.

The Skyline go's hard and I feel hardly any lag, very responsive.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
