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

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
