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.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
