I am wanting to put a fmic on my 33 s2. Can anyone recomend any workshops in melbourne that would be good for the job? Also how much will it cost installing a hybrid kit (600 core) on a 33 with the standard s2 bumper will be?

From what i have been told it can be costly because the bar needs to be cut to fit the cooler, also under the fog lamps for the piping aswell as the fact that it doesn't use the standard intercooler piping route.

I did mine myself, wasnt too hard, need to rmove most of the front hole, and a bit off the side ones, plus cut one hole for the pipework on the drivers side, had mine in about half day work, have pics if you want them

before i installed my one, i originally got prices to c if it wa worth my time and effort to do it, and i got quote $300 from EAS.

So i thought it cant be that hard, worst case scenario if i cnat fit it, ill bring it in.

Took a full day, but i got it fitted and running wiht no real drama's. To fit it to the s2 bumper u have to cut the black grill out of the front bar alltogether and depening on the cooler piping under the factory spotlight/blinkers u will need to cut out a small section to fit the pipes

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
