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!!

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
