hi, im thinking of getting a FMIC..but i dont like the idea of having a pipe hanging over the motor and hitting the bonnet. Dont want a new custom intake plenum either. What other options do i have? I have seen a ARC FMIC being sold here once that said it follows the original route. What other brands are there in aus that sells similar FMICs. are there any drawbacks of this arrangement of piping? And whats the price range.Websites would be helpful. Cheers.

Just jap kit using stock pipes is about $550 if I remember from another thread.

AVO also make fmic's using stock pipes.

and here comes the usual question.

do you have the stock turbo?

if so, why not just replace your SMIC with an R34 SMIC for $150.

it is more than capable to flow and cool what the stock turbo can throw at it before it throws it's exhaust wheel.

      R-chassis INNER tie rod torque spec?

      Not sure if you're being serious? I, and all the car people i know, ALWAYS use a torque wrench for wheel nuts. I assumed any car person, apart from tyre centre monkeys with rattle gun in hand, would do it properly.  Anyway, no further reply from me on this unless legit discussion from OP or his query so, over to you, knock yerself out.

      I was wondering about this. I'll do some research.

      Why not? Since mines been built, I've used low boost maybe 5 times.

      gauge needle removal

      Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.

      Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
