Hi everyone,

bit of a question here. I was looking to get a FMIC installed and have been shopping around. I was looking for something around the $700-800 mark. I thought the Greddy SpecM's would fit in an R34 GT-T but have been informed by a shop keeper I'll need a Spec-V. Is this the case or have some of you guys got the Spec M in there?

Cheers!

Greddy spec M is out of production. and when they were in production they were very cheap as they use a cheaper core to all the other greddy coolers (still nice piping). $800 for one is pretty cheap. brand new in japan they were around the $400 mark.

I believe they have been replaced now by Greddy LS. but personally I would get something a little nicer. something higher up in the greddy range.

M-Spec fits. I Put one on mine. No cutting of fan req'd. Clearance with the bonnet is a bit of a b!tch, hits a tiny bit but no damage done. Probably the way I fitted it tbh.

Whoever is quoting you 700-800 is ripping you off. Can get them for 600 and possibly 580 or so with a bit of haggle.

Yeah i got mine for $600

Magic, you're lucky...i had to trim the fan down a little...

you're right about the clearance. bit of a bitch, but got it to fit.

pretty good fit eventually though...

I'll take a pick of my install tomorrow of how to stop it from hitting the fan since I'm pulling crap out while im changing my corroded radiator hose fitting to a stainless one. Bit late in your case, but for guys doing it in the future it's a good idea. Instead of using one of the parts used to mount the fmic up. I screwed a spare onto the left side of the engine so it holds the piping in place solid as a rock. Also, need to remove the Neo engine cover. :thumbsup:

I have a Spec M installed on mine. works a treat, no complaints just yet.

Had to trim only like 2cm off the fan which isnt too much. Clears the bonnet, but a pretty big job altogether.

As Beer Baron said, the Spec M has been replaced with the new Spec LS which has a tube and fin core instead of the bar and plate which the Spec M has

Are you sure the LS is tube and fin? From the Greddy advertising I've seen they are still bar and plate, just lighter then the Spec M.

Mmmm, seems like the LS is the way to go indeed. I guess the next question that I beg to ask is, where can I shop for one of these in Victoria? I was looking around a few joints but most say they want 680 (my best quote so far).

Ideas gentlemen?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
