Hi Guys,

Thinking about mayyyybe getting a fmic which uses the stock cooler pipes.

Which brand of cooler (prefrebly Blitz, HKS, TRUST) will fit without having to cut or alter my Nismo Aero Front bar as well as use the stock pipes???

Not looking for anything very big anyway.

Any advice much appreciated.

With the Nismo Front Bar; any intercooler so long as it is installed correctly will not need the bar to be cut.

I'm speaking of 600x300x76 FMIC cores... haven't tried; but I'm confident that 100mm cores will fit too

Dont know what brand mine is (looks like it was made up in a backyard)

But it has the feed line that goes back under the core ,so that it all comes out one side

It fits and doesnt appear to be any hacking of the front bar

i dont like the fact i have to cut a hole in the frame to get the 'cold' side of the pipeing back into the engine bay. also i think it looks neater.

What are the pro's and cons of the 2 options?

thanks Bob.

Did you end up cutting the bar? besides the number plate thing...

And do you ever scrape the pipeing because it sits a bit lower?

Also what it cost you?

Pros n Cons:

PROS:

1) Retains the factory engine bay look I guess

2) No need to trim the engine fan

3) No need to drill through the chasis

4) Legal?

CONS:

1) Makes area in engine bay quite crowded which can be a problem later on.

2) Cannot accomodate for a front facing plenum later on

3) Makes the front of the car look one sided as all the pipes go back to one side

4) Scraping

5) Cost v Benefit

Sure the setup may look neater from the engine bay but believe me it does get quite crowded in that region later on - particularly if you're looking for places to put things like catch cans, breather tanks etc.

As for catch can, breather tank and plenum, i wont be looking to install those anyway.

i dont know...maybe the standard cooler will do the job for what i want anyway. Im not looking for massive power.

Maybe a tune with an SAFC will increase mileage and power.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
