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

yeah i hate it when things like this happens ... just makes u wanna forget that u ever bought it ... but theres nothing u can do .. they got ur money and so they can do whatever they like ... its like anything .. until they have your money they will kiss your balls ..

  • 3 weeks later...

Update : Just received my intercooler kit todat. :D yay christmas.

Anyone else got one of these kits could help me out? Which pipe goes on which side? There is a u shaped one and an s shaped one. Also what does the small outlet on the top pipe attatch to?

Cheers.

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!!

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
