Hey everyone

I was trying to install the FMIC I bought from eBay, the one with 3" hoses on both sides.

Well I took off the grill and front bar, made some mods to the intrusion bar to accomodate the intercooler.

I was half way thru taking off the stock cooler when I ran into the problem.

There are hose clamps on the other side of the metal chassis that I can't get to.

Because of the big air filter box that is in the way and who's bolts I can not budge.

So that is my 1st problem, I was also looking at the new pipes and realised that there is no room

to accommodate them for the connection closer to driver's side of the car.

If any has any suggestions or experience in DIY please help me out here thanks

At a guess, I'd say that black 'air filter box' on the drivers side is your charcoal canister (there isn't one in the stock position, so I'd say that is where the compliance shop decided to put it).

You are going to have to remove it or relocate it if you want to use the piping kit you have, as you have to cut a hole roughly where it is positioned to feed the piping through.

yeah I figures it all out, the canister fits nicely sideways on top of the piping. I hope there is no ill effect in doing that.

didn't have a big enough hole saw, so I hammered a hole and bent the metal to make it big enough for the piping to get through.

I also had to cut off a bit off each blade on the edge of the radiator fan because it was touching the piping.

Man took me a whole bloody day.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
