Is anyone else still waiting for their kit to arrive? I ordered mine 6 weeks ago, and when I ask them whats happening, I get "we spoke to the supplier, he's slow....etc"

I understand people who ordered thier kit for the r33's got theirs almost straight away. How come I'm being given the run around from a "reputabe" comany???

Originally delivery was to be in 1 to 2 weeks. Not 6+. I understand that they have to wait for Micks Metalcraft to build them, but 6 weeks for some 2 for others??

sorry for my bit*h, I'm getting fed up with the run around from companys like this all the time.

I'm still waiting to get mine too. I PM'd 321GO the 18th and he wrote back on the 19th saying that "Eta is today but........ Gotta be real soon dude"

Fingers crossed it will arrive soon. Even though I won't be able to install it for a little while it would be nice to have $1300 worth of FMIC kit in my hot little hands so I can look at it with a big grin in anticipation of all the future mods ;)

I suppose the wait is the problem with buying something that isn't pre-built straight off the shelf. I have bought from Unique Autosports before and had no problems. I think the wait is because the FMIC's are being built by another company.

Good things come to those who wait.........not tooooooo long though hopefully!!!! :P

sent by toll. Came in a faqking huge box. The only thing i dont like with it, is with the two smaller side pipes that go into/out of the cooler. He could have ground the joins of the piping smooth on the inside. Im a welder myself, so i could pick it to pieces, but overall a good job.

Could you tell me when u get yours if it has a small plate to secure it to the head, welded to the top pipe? The original photos show one on the r33 version, but its not on mine. Also the top pipe shown was section welded, the top piece i got is a 1 piece mandrel bent tube

Cheers :D

Bl4cK32: UAS experienced some major delays with the people who actually manufactured the kits. That unfortunately meant delays as they tried to chase the supplier - frustrating I know but I can assure you they were chasing up the kits daily to find out what was going on.

In my email and in my last phone conversation with UAS they said that the top pipe would be one piece and not section welded. They said it would be better and I reckon it would look better too.

I could tell that UAS were getting frustrated with the delay but they were always happy to talk when I phoned them. I will still buy from them if they have some good deals in the future.

Might go home early so I can get mine!!

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yep, this bit another local owner. I caught it before putting the transmission back into the car, what I noticed was the pressure plate fingers weren't flat and even. It's more obvious with the pull style clutch because the throwout bearing ring was visibly not flat once everything is put together. Nismo should really update their instructions to call out this specific detail. I'm not even sure the clutch as-shipped orients everything properly.
