I'm looking for a FMIC for my stagea rs4, I 've come across a couple of r33 FMIC's on sale ....both the r33 and stagea run the same rb25det ...so my question is will the piping for the FMIC be a direct bolt on affair on the stagea?

Sorry guys. ..im sure there must be a thread on this somewhere but I need a quick anwser so I can place a bid on the IC.

if it is one of these link then it will fit well, I think R33 kits do fit but all are different and fitting a front mount ususally means some small modifications to make it fit... The kit above has been designed for the Stagea so it would no doubt fit better than an R33 kit.

Hope that helps.

Hi EGA4it ...did you have to cut any holes or move any bits to get the piping in place? looks like you got a custom front bar there....dunno if the cooler will fit snugly with the standard bar in place ...399 is cheap tho...well worth considering.

I bought an R33 ARC crossflow cooler kit for mine and i did not have to cut any holes or chop any of the reinforcement bar at all the only thing that needed s little bit of modification was the front bar, but what i did cut out of it you cant see anyway except for the part where the number plate was but that was my decision it didnt need to be chopped for it to fit

Hey Andy, you did an awesome job at installing the kit.

Definately one of the neatest installs I've seen.

P.S do you mind if I use some of your pictures?

P.P.S the kits are now $349 + freight for SAU and NS.com users :(

I run gktech from a small office (aka my bedroom), I purchase by the container load and employ 0 (zero) people.

My expense aren't that great and I work on quite low margins, but work on quantity.

I think the main difference between myself and alot of these eBay sellers that can't speak english is that I concentrate on quality as I use alot of this stuff on my own cars.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
