i know how to install a FMIC kit on my r33 but there is just a question about part of the installation that i want help with

im asking about the pipe that runs across the top of the radiator fan...in most installation instructions it says to trim the top of the blades to allow clearance for the fan to rotate, however if u trim the end of the blade fans wont that cause some sort of inbalance as the fan spins? is this safe to to, or would it be better to carefully "bash" the section of the pipe in at the bottom, to allow clearance so you dont have to trim the fans? or will that disrupt the air flow of the cooler? which is the better option?

advice would be great guys

cheers in advanced

I have seen this covered before...cut even amounts off each blade if u have to. I didnt have to at all. Might be an issue with generic brands to suit as many models as possible..dunno.

The nipple required is for the actuator so that it opens once boost pressure rises... you can T-piece a vacumme hose from the BOV to the actuator with the same result... been covered many times... try searching..

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
