I have just fitted a FMIC kit to my series 2. The kit is the standard cross over type that every one sells for R33 and R34.

I had to remove the windscreen washer bottle to fit the return line thru the chassis on the right hand side of the engine bay.

I assume others have had this problem and wanted to know where and how you re-mounted the bottle

i turned my bottle sideways darrin and had to cut it a little to make it all work i did cut a little deep into the bracket and ended up with a square hole lol but i siliconed it up and has been sweet pm your email addy and ill send pics

Darrin; good to see the Stag moving along now in mod-country :P

Go to your local Super-Cheap and pick up a universal washer bottle kit... a little bit of DIYing and you have yourself a new washer bottle setup. This is a mandatory modification on the R34s due to the size of the stock item (we haven't come across any that haven't had it done)

The "aftermarket" one I got is about 1.5L and sits snugly next to a full size battery (not the pissy little ones) so that should give you an idea ;)

Thanks

Thanks Stan

The Stagea bottle is not in the engine bay like a r34. It sits under the battery, just in front of the wheel, but the aftermarket botttle may still work if I can fit the factory bottle back in. I would prefer to keep the factory bottle with 2 waher motors, one for the front and one for the rear of the car

Ps The mods have really started. . . . more updates later

Darrin; the R34 bottle is in the same location as the Stagea ;) I did think about retro-fitting another motor onto the aftermarket bottle but found it unecessary. I don't have a rear wiper (removed) so figured it'd be pointless anyway :P

got any photos of the setup? also if you dont mind me asking how much did the kit set you back?

Looks like any other skyline install

The kit I used was Justjap's type 2 kit with larger end tanks than the cheaper type 1 kit

I bought it about 12 months ago for $499

I have fmic, and have my washer bottle it it's stock position, just the piping was made to bypass that area. Lucky it was custom made, and lucky I didnt have to pay for it, came with the beast when I bought it :woot:

    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
    • Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
