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.

i just did an install on my R33.Ihad to trim the blades on mine.but i wasnt exactly accurate in the trimming of thr blades,i just cut them as they needed to clear the pipe.So far no probs.

dont mean to hijack. i got my kit from just jap and the bloke who i spoke to said i need to get a nipple added to one of the hoses. can someone please explain what that is for? and where can i get it done?

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..

Cheers

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
