Can't you do it yourself?

Its not really that hard to do, it was the first major thing I did to my car on my own. I don't mind coming and helping after exams either if you get stuck.

What FMIC have you got? just a china hybrid copy?

oh really, yeh i was thinking bout asking for help as i dont feel confident myself without instructions :yes:

id put in a carton of your choosing for the time :)

yeh its a hybrid copy, the seller assured me it fits good and other buyers rated it, but thats yet to be seen i guess.

My intercooler was a custom job that the previous owner gave me. It just hooked straight up to the stock piping so I didn't have to run a crossover pipe or anything. The crossover pipe isn't that much of an issue. IIRC the only things you need to do extra is chop the radiator fan a little so it clears the pipe and cut a hole for the piping. To do the hole you need a hole saw, the GTR and GTS-T chassis is the same so there a place all setup to cut.

The reo (front re-enforcement bar) and front bar need to be cut to fit the FMIC in there, its nothing too major that can't be solved with an angle grinder or jigsaw.

If you work fast you could get it done in under a day, mine took me a day and a half being my first time and all. If you do a search I'm fairly sure there are threads with pictures (might be for R33's but its virtually the same) for installs.

Give me 2 weeks and bottle of bourbon (not a beer person :yes:) and I'll come help you out.

haha ill let him, decide :)

yeh i asked hyperdrive for a quote but they wont touch a copy cooler, fair enough i spose.

after that i asked extreem machines and they wanted about $400, other place said $380. I havnt shopped around a WHOLE lot, thought this would be quicker way to find out :)

thanks for reply though :)

no a standard one

but they are good upgrades for rb20's

i was just making a point that the money you save from installing your fmic means you can buy other goodies.

yeh exactly ! :)

will go towards injectors or fuel pump...or AVCR...or power FC :S

I can remap R32 ECU's aswell (useful arn't I? :P)

Go halves with tiesto in buying me a wideband and I'll do it for ya :)

haha whats a wideband, how much are they ? my guess is a lot ?

will need a remap at some point though

so might need your services :)

Seriously, i would not use Extreme Machines. Not going into detail but if your going to use a workshop, find another one. Just my 2c

.

Also, isn't Paul at Autoworx in wangars supplying and fitting fmic for around $900 or $950?? Anyone had him fit one? Are the intercoolers any good?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
