Hey mate I worked back late last night so I couldnt get some pics for you but to answer your question when we did mine we had to cut a strip along the bottom of the support bar so the cooler could fit plus we had to trim the front bar quite a bit for it to fit.

Chris

No worries mate, if you can get some pics when yourve got a bit of spare time that would be sweet

Yea i thought the support bar would need a bit of cutting, it looks pretty tight in there, thats not a problem tho, i cut the support bar on my old r32 so should be easy >_<

Got any pics dude?? theres probly no point posting pics of yours as its not a r33, but if u do post some pics that would be kool.

Does any member/trader on this forum sell the Blitz lm fmic for a r33?? im thinking it might be cheaper to import one from aussie rather than getting one from nengun.

I doubt you'll beat nenguns price...

Yea i know,nengun is bloody cheap :D, but i may get charged importing tax and stuff like that if they display how much it is worth, if i buy it from someone in aussie i may be able to get them to write the value a little lower than its actually worth so hopefully i wouldnt get charged importing tax etc etc.

Im looking forward to you and alphanumeric posting up some more pics, hopefully i will make my mind up when i see some decent shots lol :happy:

Nengun never write the real value on items sent, they do that so as not to attract potential thieves to expensive items...they'll also remove all logos etc from the packaging if you want them to, so that its just a random box to anyone handling it...

When I got mine, their price was unbeatable, but there's always a chance that it could take ages for them to send it...I decided to pay roughly an extra $100 and buy it from homerrules on NS.com (he's a trader) as it was guaranteed to be delivered to my door quickly....it took about 5 days once he received the cash and made the order etc.

So what did it cost you all up (aussie dollars) from "homerrules' if you dont mind me asking, if its not much more then nengun i may send him a p.m and see what he can do, its going to cost me $1080 nzd from nengun delivered which is a very good price, but then there is the risk of getting charged importing fees, someone loosing the package (i dont think that would happen), damage etc ,ive heard nothing but good things about nengun so im not really to worried if i do decide to buy from them.

Just received a reply from homerrules on NS.com and have been quoted $1300 AUD delivered, which is $1466 NZD :), i think i will go with nengun instead, if i decide to get one :P lol.

Some info.

I have seen these and other coolers fitted to R33's where the owner said they had to cut the front bar a fair bit and they were almost all mounted incorrectly.

Basically there are 2 main things you can do to get the pipe (and the whole thing) to sit higher. One is to mount the cooler on a slight angle, bottom more to the rear of the car. The other is to use a rubber mallet to bash the bits of the radiator support panel that stick out back a little. I moved mine up about 3 cm just that (was an R34 though).

Also there are two mounting holes for the brackets that go on the top of the cooler. Some people use the lower one when you need to use the higher one. Need to relocate the horn.

This bracket is the only one that is not attached to the pipes. I think I have the R33 one lying around somewhere.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
