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

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
