the new just jap kit is bolt on.. my ass it is..

on the other hand the hybrid kit is easier.

Today Chris and i set to work on fitting a just jap FMIC to his 1993 R33 S1 which i can safely say is one of the best S1 ive seen!.

Just Jap $345 FMIC kit

HKS T piece

76mm hole saw

angle grinder

first off

removing the Front bar. due to having a few extra hidden clips took a bit longer than expected..

removing the SMIC and pipping.

removing the front support.

then getting stuck as he had no instructions.. so i went searching on sau and found nothing.. thanks..

decided to wing it :laugh: and dummy fitted the cooler core. mounted on the bottom brackets.

dummy fit the front support. cut to fit.. fit then removed to cut for top brackets.

fit. then removed to drill new bracket holes.. would be nice if they told us..

then refit. used spacers..

fit LHS pipping.

drilled 76mm hole with tools supplied by TAFE QLD :no:

drilled one more. i did use R33S2 diagram thanks mate.. helpful seeing i had no instructions.

fit pipping. tightened.

start up.. the top pipe touched the fan. so re adjusted properly..

start perfect :down:

sprayed cut body with antirust.

attempted to fit front bar.

hacked rear of bar.

indicators wer in the way so hacked that.then resealed it with duck tape properly not dodgy like shane would.

fitted to front bar.

splash guards on. inner guards on.

retensioned all bolts, clamps and brackets. fitted all clamps to face the same way. to look pro..

went for a test drive..

saw 14PSI.. then had to plumb in the intercooler line.. ther is no nipple so i cut the vac line from TB and inserted a HKS T piece (HKS POWAH AND SPORTS). hooked up to solenoid and boost is at 9ish PSI.

had to rebend the top pipe to suit, rethread a clamp.

chris is happy with his FMIC i got paid and the world is at piece.. and he scored a HKS part..

your more than welcome chris and i hope u enjoy your stay on this forum. if u need anymore work im happy to do some more. but no more custom cutting.. and ill charge by the hour.. due to extra cutting it took around 4 hours.. :ninja: wher as the hybrid took me 2-3??

some happy shots taken by chris

thanks chris and thanks sau

mark.

that took u 4 hours :huh:

i woulda looked at it, opened a beer, and said go elsewhere :)

as if im dodgy, says the man who uses bleed valves as a boost 'controller' :(

i still like manually controlling boost over electric.. something bout not having electronics that run on copper wires keeping ur car from hitting 45psi..

in addition to that, did u put rubber around the hole u cut for the cooler pipe?

ahaha NO shane i didnt.. want to knw why...? i cut a hole big enough to accomodate the cooler pipe with room to spare.. and left nothing touching anything..

i left 2mm gap from thermo to core, 3mm from rad fan without cutting it.. skills yo..

quite a fun day..

if u want ill build ur GTR for u.. ;) ...(the garden ornament)

Yep, I fitted my Hybrid FMIC Kit a couple weeks ago and was a piece of piss sept shaping the fan, i didnt expect that.

hey ryan

yeah i found the hybrid easier than the just jap.. the just jap which we used had too much bracket bending and no instructions.. but didnt need to shape and cut the fan as she clears it nicely.. 2-3mm.. only cause i did bend the top pipe mounting bracket to fit nicely. all in all looks professionaly done and keeps chris happy.. and looks stock too :)

put pics up of ur car chris.. how how its hidden nicely :(

What did you charge to install the FMIC Mark, I need my kit installed :D

he charged a very fair price.. i bought some of the tools and i was the lacky for the day ( did the easy side of the FMIC and helped where needed)

and yeah scored a fully sick HKS part...

Ill post some pics up of the baby once i have washed her.. shes pretty damn dirty atm.

But yeah id say it would be a solid 3-4 hour job ( take time off from us having a bit of a break and figuring out what to do etc)

It will hit.... I give you one week...

dont be like that..im sure it will be fine ;)

im keen to see how much extra powa i got now.. all i need is an exhuast system and the thing is breathing aftermarket style :D

It will hit.... I give you one week...

i doubt that. i fastened it with 10mm bracket and lock nut. and the clamps are super tight.

ok col if it doesnt touch within a week u shout me dinner one tuesday night lol.. :D

yeah i didnt charge much as thought it was similar to hybrid but wasnt. but not one to go back on my word so all good. PM me if u want to get one fitted.. ;)

im off to drags now in the R34.. ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

Gotta be careful bending those brackets that are welded to ally, I hope you held the bracket in a vice or something and bent after that.. whoever installed the fmic kit in my car didn't brace the bracket before bending and now the weld is starting to crack :wave: I have since unbolted the bracket in an attempt to slowdown the cracking O_o

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
