Hi guys received my hybrid fmic kit today and going to install it with a mate. Read all the threads to do with the install but got 2 questions even after reading them all.

What do you use to cut the fan blades if needed?

Everyone mentions that you need to screw in a nipple for the boost. I am running factory boost...do i still need to do this or is that only for aftermarket boost controller?

any help asap would be great

cheers

i used the same kit on my 32, to trim the blades i used a stanley knife/box cutter whatever you want to call it to trim just the corner of the blades that come in contact with the pipe, assuming its for a 33 should still only be a couple of centimteres at most. as for the nipple thing, i didnt do it on mine but then again i am under the impression that only 33's have to do it... hope that helps

Small version of a hack saw works, but before you start hacking into it make template out of paper and apply the template to each blade with a nikko. Once these are cut neaten it up emery paper.

You will see on the stock return piping (the side with the BOV on it) there is a nipple that goes to the boost solenoid, if your FMIC kit has an identical nipple here you won't have to put one in. How ever if there isn't go down to Repco and get a nipple the same diameter as the stock and tap it into the new intercooler piping about where the stock one was.

Yes, you need the nipple, even for stock boost.

You're running stock boost now and your using the nipple.

FMIC makes no difference, it's still needed.

The pressure feed from the nipple to the wastegate makes the wategate open to let out excess exhaust gasses keeping the boost low at 7psi.

If you don't have that feed (ie, no nipple) your boost WILL keep going up in excess of 1bar (14psi) and eventually loose blades out the back and into the Cat.

** Get the nipple **

May as well do it while it's not installed, should be pretty easy.

There's a discussion about that too somewhere

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
