I just installed my FMIC on the weekend

The day after the install had had two joiners blow off when under a full load, So that night i reconnected all the pipping tightend all of the clamps really tight then last night the rubber(stock)90 degree bend which runs from the passenger side of the cooler tore straight down the seam when running around about a constant 10 psi for a couple of seconds.

Has anyone had a similar problem when connecting a after market cooler to the stock hoses.

Where abouts can i get a Silicone 3'' silicone bend from and will it be any better than the stock nissan rubber bend?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.

      yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
