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

Pics Done. sorry for quality, will put better ones up tommorrow when i have some light:)

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

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
