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 ;)

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
