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.. :D

bahaha of course hes going to say that... he wants u to spend ur money on his inferior one :D

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.

That's what i was gonna say.:D

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

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

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 :D would have made more sense that way.

plus i mean... its desinged for a GTR so its made by nissan... it must be good ;)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
