I have been looking at FMIC kits for my R33, I have been told to stay away from the cheap kits, in particular Hybrid coolers. I have been tossing up between a Trust kit from Advan performance for $1400, or a HKS kit from Perfect Run for $1270, which is the better kit? Are there any others that anyone would recommend?

Sorry to hijack the thread.

Which front mount intercooler kit for a R32 will bolt up without causing issues,

eg. like having to trim the fan blades, etc, etc.

Yeah get one with a return pipe that hooks up to your stock pipes, such as the blitz kit. Not only conveniant, but no cutting into your chassis aswell for an intercooler hole. I dont know where you're located, but in VIC they have cracked down 100% on cutting hoels into you chassis for a cooler pipe, it now requires an engineer cert.

well, the piping kit didnt fix my car, it had to be rewelder in one spot :) also it fits the bonnet and fits the fan....

my friend pay $1400 or something and got a greddy kit and it kits without any problems its perfect... i pay $1000 and mine has soo maybe problems (this is going back about 2years now, so the pricers were higher then)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
