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

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.

i dunno about other cars but there was no clearence what so ever for the piping to pass the washer bottle without getting removed.

so i dont know any other way we could of done it

but ill birng it to another shop see wat i can do.....any recommended places?

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.

u moved the washer bottle into the boot?????

lol i think thats a lil extreme. i think ill just visit supercheap auto and get a small washer bottle and fit it somewhere in the engine bay.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
