Hey guys,

I've just had a Hybrid GT-spec FMIC installed on my r34 gt-t & now my washer bottle doesn't fit ;)

Has anybody with a GT-T have the same dilemma when installing a hybrid cooler?

Any tips? Are there aftermarket bottles I can buy?

If worse comes to worse I'll just get a custom alloy one made up, but I'm interested to know if anybody out there knows of a cheaper, easier alternative

Thanks in advance guys :(

They did this to mellow yellow in hot 4's

They got a bladder (i think could have just been another bottle) from supercheap... 5 minute install

Quite simple, mate who help fit my FMIC rotated the washer bottle so it sorta sticks out almost thru one of the lower front bar vents, ive got the Nismo bar btw with black grill(factory std), we then spray painted part of the bottle black so it doesn't look so obvious sitting just behind the vent. No replacement bottles req'd.

No ones even noticed my bottles there so far.

man I love this forum :), a big thanks to everyone who replied :whistling:

G Force: thanks for the tip mate, I'll have to give it a go although I'm pretty sure the piping might still get in the way it's worth a shot.

Have you got a hybrid/just jap intercooler? They both use a similar type of piping system.

I have the same bumper, I had my intercooler & piping sprayed black & used black silicon joiners. you can't even see it unless you really get up close :)

well just get rid of the washer system all together who needs all that extra weight. keep some sorbent toilet wipes in the car and you will be fine. lol

to be honest i wash my car every week so never needed to use the washer anyways..

Yea im running a Hybrid FMIC as well with the chrome piping so if i can do it im sure u can. I kept mine chrome tho, like the bling look :(

Or alternatively, do like Forged says, get rid of it and just wash ur car regularly.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
