CONAN Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 Hey folks, i need some opinions on concerning FMIC's. My friend owns a Gts-t R32, and is in the market for a FMIC we did some research into the Blitz LM series intercooler(600x300x76), and read some good reviews, and was going to buy it.... but we recently visited 'Fussys Motorsports' in Sydney to ask if this cooler was any good, and Tan the owner of the joint told us that it was cr*p!!.. he told us that it wasnt as good as the ones he has(australian made ones same size but thicker core).. so now we're kinda lost, !dont know which FMIC to buy?!?!? what do you guys recommend to get?? australian ones or japanese delivered??blitz, hks, trust,etc.. Blitz LM Intercooler kit $1800 fitted Fussys intercoller kit $1800 fitted as well.. open opinionz plz!! thaNks..

inark Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 bahaha of course hes going to say that... he wants u to spend ur money on his inferior one dude... companies like HKS and BLITZ and TRUST spend megga bucks developing and researching these things... i would go for something like what they have to offer rather than some guy whos hacked a truck intercooler to bits and slapped together some end tanks... yeah they might still be good but whos to say theyre better? can he prove it? has he done major testing to show how uch better his are? i doubt it even something like a GTR cooler which has pretty much the same dimensions u mentioned if u can get ur hands on one will do the trick quite well.

inark Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 offer this guy 650... probably about all theyre worth and probably about 60 for shipping. aluminium piping and hosing should cost u around 550... any more and ur being ripped Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17427-which-fmic-to-buy/#findComment-360893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interloper Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 dude... companies like HKS and BLITZ and TRUST spend megga bucks developing and researching these things... i would go for something like what they have to offer rather than some guy whos hacked a truck intercooler to bits and slapped together some end tanks... yeah they might still be good but whos to say theyre better? can he prove it? has he done major testing to show how uch better his are? i doubt it That's what i was gonna say. For sure anything japanese will have a better/higher overall quality then anything you can buy locally made. Thats why my HKS type-s i/c is arriving in a few weeks:p Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17427-which-fmic-to-buy/#findComment-361556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSVKLR Posted June 4, 2003 Share Posted June 4, 2003 I paid $1595 for my 600x300x70 'cooler made by Mick's Metalcraft. They've done many of the Horsepower Heros cars at Summernats. Ive been impressed with it so far (i havent wound any boost yet). Install it yourself - you learn a tonne about ya car while doing it. Unique Autosports sell them.... www.nismo.com.au Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17427-which-fmic-to-buy/#findComment-362100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unique Autosports sell them.... www.nismo.com.au definately agree with doing ur own install and learning from it... i love pulling my car to bits and doing stuff myself even tho i really dont have any clue what im doing btw i was meant to post a link in my second post to a guy selling a GTR cooler for 750ono would have made more sense that way. plus i mean... its desinged for a GTR so its made by nissan... it must be good Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/17427-which-fmic-to-buy/#findComment-362478 Share on other sites More sharing options...
