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.

    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
    • For future reference, if you need to use Deutsch connectors but don't have the proper crimper for the round style pins, you can get regular style crimp pins too
    • No. The castings are all the same. As you have the inlet off, simply measure the diameter of the inlet ports and compare with the freely available on the net sizes of turbo and NA. The NA ones are small.
