Let me guess, you tried to install your intercooler kit yourself?

carry a rag around :D Did you buy one of those cheap arse FMICs like you said you weren't going to??? :)

yeh who would of known eh? half of the bloody forum said jsut jap are good.....so i went along thinkin 345 i cant go wrong...well i did lol

any ideas on wat i can do.....i was told by the shop a GTR washer would be something to fix the prob

The only reason you would need to touch the washer bottle is if the kit was not fitted correctly.

The piping that crosses over the front of the engine goes through the inner guard underneath the washer bottle, you dont need to relocate or remove it.

Clearly, your intercooler and/or piping hasnt been installed properly, or was not correctly dummied up/trial fitted, so dont be a muppet and blame the product when is the fitting thats most likely at fault :)

I beg to differ. People are always complaining about the shit fit of those kits, piping not lining up and needing mods.

345 can't go wrong? You get what you pay for

In answer to your question, you can either get it installed properly, or go to supercheap auto and buy a small sized washer bottle and have that fitted.

With all due respect to everyone who has posted here... it doesn't matter HOW you install a FMIC on a R34GTT, the stock washer bottle WILL NOT fit in it's original spot.

All those saying the installation was wrong / bad... you can spend all day trying to line it up without getting in the way of the bottle, you just can't.

Andru, you're only solution is to replace the bottle with one from Repco/Supercheap... I had to do the same and got one that actually fits between the guard and the battery.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      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.
