how about HPC coating the cooler pipes?

I don't think it would be suitable for the IC but surely wouldn't hurt on the cooler piping and may also aid in reducing inlet temps as well as achieving your stealth look in the process :D

HPC coating isnt a bad idea, but im going to call a couple radiator repair places in my area and see how much to spray the FMIC and pipping all in their thermo black paint...

cheers

would like to know how you go with this as im heading in the same direction. also bumped into a sales thread where you got urself a stagea/r34 cooler. how did that perform? are you looking for more power now hence the ic upgrade?

cheers?

yea on the stock turbo the R34 SMIC was the best investment... read my thread on the R34 SMIC upgrade...

Yes, now that im chasing more power ie. highflow turbo, injectors, fuel pump, ECU... a FMIC will be required for the 18 - 20psi boost level... im aiming for 250+rw/kw

If 200rw/kw is your aim, then the R34 SMIC upgrade is the best option!

yeh please do, if it all goes well for you, i will plan to do it, being a P driver witha 33 gtst and a stealth cooler will get LESS cop attention.

Great Thread. Good Luck

Yea for sure, cops will pick at ANYTHING they can just to issue a fine or defect... especially with us "chocko" looking guys lol

Besides it would put a huge smile on my face when i smash a supra, sti, clubsport etc off the lights and my car looks stock as :(

Cheers

Hahaha always the odd one out ay Paul? :laughing-smiley-014:

By painting it black, it will make it LESS obvious to spot and not to mention when driving at night will be virtually invisable...

Cheers

i have an r32 gtr cooler stealth mounted on my r33 and u cant see it unless you go looking for it

just how a good intercoolers should be

does an awesome job cool.ing also

Yea i was considering a GTR cooler.. but for the total cost of cooler + custom piping + fitting, might as well get a TRUST FMIC kit ($795) and get it sprayed black...

Cheers

Thanks for the advise Ronin ill keep it in mind, although for $50 or so, a Radiator repair shop will spray it with their thermal paint and will also aid in cooling...

Cheers

Hey Guys, just got a quote for $10 from a radiator shop to spray an FMIC kit with black thermal paint...

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
