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

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.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
