markimak Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 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 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 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 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.. wher as the hybrid took me 2-3?? some happy shots taken by chris thanks chris and thanks sau mark.

markimak Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 that took u 4 hours 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158803-demoniaks-new-fmic-basically-custom/#findComment-2949241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

markimak Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158803-demoniaks-new-fmic-basically-custom/#findComment-2949309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoniak Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 What did you charge to install the FMIC Mark, I need my kit installed 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) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158803-demoniaks-new-fmic-basically-custom/#findComment-2949891 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennedy Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Are you gonna relocate the your t piece connection to a tapped nipple in the cooler piping? Isnt it better to have it before the TB so the wastegate does not see vacuum?

bubba Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 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 I have since unbolted the bracket in an attempt to slowdown the cracking O_o Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/158803-demoniaks-new-fmic-basically-custom/#findComment-2972636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
