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.

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.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
