This item is a brand new GENUINE ARC FMIC kit from japan. It arrived today and is still in all of its packaging as i only opened the box to make sure it was all there, in good condition and to take photos for this sale thread. I sold my R33 2 weeks ago so i no longer need it.

The kit uses ARC's MO73 intercooler core with a turnflow exit endtank. The advantage of using this setup is that all the piping can be run through the original holes on the passenger side of the car keeping this a very stealth and neat looking kit from inside the engine bay. It also negates the need to cut a hole in the driverside wheel well and run the "cold" pipe over the fan and radiator. On alot of the cheaper kits out there the "cold" pipe over the radiator setup can sometimes either sit too low and touch the fan which then requires trimming, or to high and fouls on the bonnet when shut. This kit has been engineered by ARC japan to be a 100% bolt on unit. Workmanship on the intercooler core looks to be 1st class.

All parts are included in this sale and if shipped, will all be packaged neatly and safely inside a plain box to reduce the risk of theft or curious eyes taking a peek inside and possibly damaging anything which insures you get the kit in 100% perfect condition.

Parts Included:

- ARC MO73 Intercooler core with turnflow endtank (470 x 260x 70)

- ARC Piping kit to suit S1 & S2 r33 GTS-t (3 pipes total)

- ARC Green High Quality Hose joiners x3

- Cyclone hose clamps x6

- Mounting Bolts

- Instruction Booklet which i havn't opened but it looks like it's in japanese :)

Installation of this kit is very straight forward. First step will be to take the front bar off and if you have enough skill to do that you will have enough skill to install the intercooler kit :yes: its that easy.

please contact me with any questions you may have,

thanks alot ELI

P.S. pics of the kit will be up tonight once i find my camera usb cable :P

these things are awesome....

personally dont have one (cos i'm not plannin on upgrading my turbo on my r33) but i can tell ya on my old r32 gtst i had an ARC sidemount. Just the design of them makes the world of difference.

I'm not too sure but i think the inlet is the left side and you'll notice that the air tubes are like flared out where they meet the tank... optimises flowability.

can't understand why this hasn't sold yet.

good luck with the sale anyway.

hey mate, when you mean the kits installation is straight forward, what do you mean? is it that easy? no cutting involved? no welding no nothing? i'm interested in it cuz every other kit seems to need work done, and its gonna cost to get someone to do it for me. how does it kit hang? do i have to drill bits into the chassis? or bar? does it matter what bar is used..every commen bout this kit seems to be good..but just dont know if its all true.

I got a Blitz LM which is almost the same. You may have to cut a little off your reo and move your horns. And if you may want to cut out the middle bit of your front bar which looks like a type-m style to get more air to the cooler. DIY, about 3-4hrs.

the kit uses holes that are on your car from the factory so definately no drilling is required, all bolts and mounts are also included. it comes with a booklet of instructions, i think they're in japanese but you should be able to go by illustrations to figure out what holes to use. as Far Tony said you may have to cut a little off your reo but im not 100% sure its neccessary as the core is a little smaller than your average cooler. as i said in the first post my car has been sold but it was to a friend so i might be able to get him over so i can take some photos of where to mount the cooler. can't promise anything though.

any other questions or need more pics just let me know

cheers, eli

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
