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:

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
