hey guys,

just wondering if anyone has had success fitting a GReddy intercooler kit with a type m front bar (r33),

ive been looking at the bar and it looks like a fair piece of the center section will need to be removed for the intercooler to receive enough air. (i can't recall the excact specs of the coolers size as im picking it up in a couple of days, but i know it's pretty big lol)

cheers.

Yep I've installed the Greddy FMIC into a S2 R33, you will need to cut the end of the chassis rail a little and the fins from the middle of the front bar...

Check out images, I am going to take my front bar off again and cut the bar a bit more so I can fit in some black mesh to protect and hide the IC.

oh yeah you also need to cut into the wall of the engine bay for piping. A metal hole saw does it easy I finished it off with some u channel rubber to cover the edge of the metal. And you can probably still use the stock washer bottle instead of the smaller greddy one...

hey 75coupe, thanks for the info, looks like a nice, snug fit.Nice rims too.

What are the dimensions of the GReddy fmic?

I have fitted a fmic, measuring 600x300x76, but did not need to tough the chasis rails; i am a little concerned that you are willing to cut into the rails :yes:

Anyway, on a S1 you will need to remove the centre part of the reo, but keep everything else (ie: top support and the actual supports that slide onto the rails). I cut out the middle part of the bar, to allow more airflow to the fmic. I then got the cut-out holes plastic welded, to make it look neat and factory, this also requires you to paint the bar.

"i am a little concerned that you are willing to cut into the rails"

you are only cutting a small bit off the end definitely nothing structural...

it even shows you in the greddy instructions to do it...

if ur in vic and get defected...u will wish u didn't.

I have fitted the same size cooler and had to do the same as Al...he is on the money.

hmmm, well I sorta thought no one would notice the rear tyre width, i kinda digitally edited them a little larger oops maybe alittle too much but it looks cool. I only run 265s on back

All the the graphics are real though...

The piece I cut of the end of the chassis rail was like 1/2 an inch if that, tiny.... no one would even notice it... definitely not affe3ct strength as it didn't even complete the square tube if ya know what I mean

265 is still wide enough man. dont be shy, ur still big enough.

What about ya front blinkers, are they edited?? If not, did you do that yourself?

I have seen clear indicators around for the S2 indicators but this image has been doctored...

If you can get the fog light lens's and just replace the orange lens and use an orange globe instead.... it's just hard to locate the lens by itself... if anyone knows where to get em that would be cool...

you can always just use some tint in a can to make them different to the fogs...

Al, your rims are mint, what are they? how much they set you back? if you dont mind me askin :D

Thanks buddy!

They are cheapy rims :w00t: Lenso Muse 19 x 8, custom powder coated to the charcol colour.

Bought rims about 4+yrs ago, at that time the costed me $3600 with tyres (Hankook K104). Got a pretty good deal, considering 19's weren't as popular then as they are now.

These rims can be found for about $1200 second hand, i've seen them for sale here (sau) numerous times, so keep an eye out.

75coupe: Sorry to inadvertantly catch you out :), just looked soooo tough.

Here is a pic of my car with 335 tyres fitted, and it is not a photo chop :)

I like to call it: Tonka Spec

Those rims belong to my mate's car:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
