which FMIC to buy???

[CONAN]

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..

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.

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

[ZERO]

anymore opinionz?

[DREMEN]

I went through the same decision, ended up getting a huge TRUST fmic

I decided to go for the Jap R&D Its worth it dude

It costs $2200 fitted

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

cOOL

how much are you getting your HKS cooler for interloper?

inc. shipping tax etc..

[Interloper]

all up it will cost me $1575 from nengun.

[CONAN]

Hey thats quite cheap, as they retail for around 2000????

are you getting it fitted professionally?

or a homejob?

whats the dimensions of the cooler?

[Interloper]

i'll get it fitted at the shop so they can tune the car staight after.

size: 600x301x65

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

everything just fits like a glove and you have resale value.

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
