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:

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
