Any front mount will require a fair bit of front bar modification..

I got the just jap kit 1/2 installed. It is a bit of friggin round but I think they all are.

Good thing is the jusjap kit comes with all piping.

If you are staying with stock turbo I highly recommend just the R34 SMIC.

FMIC is a lot of stuffing around!!

Otherwise I've heard people on here doing the install for $250 which is a bargain.

So if you want FMIC:

DIY - $350

JustJap + Install ~ $600-$700

Performance gain on stock turbo <10rwkw over R34GTT cooler

Unless you want the wank factor..

exactly what benl1981 said, except for one thing. there's no KW gain over the 34smic unless ur stock turbo is nearing 220rwkw.

wank factor plays a major role in the amount of front mounts you see around.

Unless you're planning to go for over 200kw I recommend a R34 GT-t side mount intercooler. Better, bigger intercooler and it's a direct bolt on fit.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
