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.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
