Edit: Seems like you got a 4 door.. Could be a totally different story then.. hmmm

Yes that seemed to be the problem. After looking at a 33 S2 Coupe the washer bottle on them is where the battery is on my 4 Door, and my washer bottle is under the battery. Anybody else put a FMIC kit on an S2 sedan? if so what did you do about the washer bottle.

ok finally finished the install today.

for the hole under the battery i didnt really care about the holes being flush so i just made a big hole to suit... although its still touching a tiny bit.

that same pipe also touches my powersteering lines (not A/C). i also had to trim my fan blades aswell as the end of the pipe that connects to the BOV pipe as that was too far forward. the other cut was also the big oval in the original hole.

i was able to onli hack away at my front bar only a little.

i didnt follow the instructions coz i didnt want to cut my reo bar, in the end i mounted it onto the reo at the top and the side tanks seem to rest on it a little, but it is rock solid does not move an mm. i think this is part of my reason why the other pipe hits the P/S pipe. as its too far back.

all in all i could feel the difference today and for the price u pay for this kit it is quite good.

Thinking of buying one of these. I see that you have to cut the reinforcement bar.

On a series 1 R33 with a stock bar can you just mount it behind there without any visual trimming of the plastic on the front bar. I realise the air flow might not be the best but should still be better than the smaller SMIC's.

It would be good if it came with black silicon joiners..I'm thinking of spraying the whole kit black so it isn't visible.

So the consensus is that these kits are quite good?

If anyone is interested, I have a qualified mechanic friend looking for work at the moment. He has just moved back from QLD to Sydney just this week. Mentioned that if I can get a few people together, he would fit for $250 per kit.

PM me if you are interested and I will forward details onto him. I'm hoping to get mine done too. He previously worked for Nissan in addition to other performance work, Turbo's and V8's.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
