Hey guys, just bought my first skyline a couple of days ago ... VERY happy with it :)

Starting to mod it now, i'm aiming for 220-250 rwkw at the end ... which FMIC do you think I should get? there's a couple of kits on justjap.com ... any recommendations/warnings/suggestions etc? I've heard you pretty much have to cut the battery tray with whichever kit you get?

Better yet, anyone in VIC selling one?

Thanks fellas!

You can get FMICs with piping kits to go through the place where GTRs do, underneath to the side of the battery tray.

That way u dont have to cut through the tray and then weld it up when u get dicked :)

Hypergears kits do this. Check their site.

yea Rekin it is more then standard i guess but tons of people have it. Agreed some of them would have a few internal changes to the engine but still ... even with bolton mods, i'm sure people have taken the rb20 over 250. I'll aim for 220 then anyway :spank:~

at this stage im more then happy with just having a bit more boost and exhaust, but i'm sure that'll pass in a few weeks haha so im preparing.

is that the one you guys are talking about? its been out of stock for a bit. And i would prefer not cutting anything because the car is in real neat condition and some people have said its unroadworthy if that tray is cut?

Cheers

yes its illegal to cut the chassis to pass the intercooler piping on the majority of intercooler kits.

The one you linked uses the same holes as the standard sidemount intercooler, thus making it legal (thats if you do not have a pod-filter; one intake mod law; either pod or fmic)

Only if you have airbags.

Thats the key point to note that everyone gets wrong.

Cutting is no problem without airbags, engineer signed off on mine without an issue

If you don't to cut anything ARC coolers are one of the best, they are also probably the BEST japanese coolers I've seen. I run one and many many good JDM cars run them. Check out Nengun for them of PM me for pics/questions.

Edit - just loked at Justjap, looks like an ARC knock off so should be ok too.

It'll be no problem saying that to an officer.

They try pin you and you go to court any engineer will sign off, hell, i think its probably listed in a ADR somewhere that it would be quoted and wouldnt even need someone to come along.

Take them on i say. Any piece of info that can achieve this go for it.

What sets a Blitz/ARC/Apex-i cooler kit apart from the rest isn't so much the piping style, as anyone can copy that as we're now seeing, but the core itself. You get what you pay for. Everyone says it, but everyone seems to forget it when buying a cooler :)

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
