i wouldnt bother with a side mount

once you turn the boost up and crank up the exhaust i believe the side mount in the side locaiton is a just a big heater panel

i dont believe you get the gains you get from a decent core in the front of the car

Id have to agree, even tho there is dyno proof they work, i know that in mine with the usual bolt ons, the R34 sidemount i had was too hot to touch after a good spirited drive. I dont think there is sufficient airflow on my front bar, could be different on the normal S2 Front end tho.

I just got back from a trackday last night. Dam impressed with the Blitz. The "hot" side of the FMIC was cool to touch, and the "cold" side was ICE cold. Must be doing something right. And the J-Pipe was also cool-warm after coming back in from a good 5 laps of hard driving.

This is mine, Was a second hand custom made FMIC.

The reo had to be cut, but I just marked where I wanted it cut then took it to the local panel beaters. They cut it, primed and painted it for me for a carton.

ok...I never considered a r34 smic. Basically longer term im wanting to running higher boost on the stock turbo (exhaust is already done).

As car is a daily and reliable driver i want to keep it that way, so thought FMIC would be sensible in first step before mucking around.

Finchy33. My front bar is the same as yours. Any chance you have front on pics? I'm liking what your saying about the minor trimming only.

thanks

I ran higher boost with no problems on r34 side mount.

:P

Each to their own i guess. I had no issues with mine even on track days :P And those spirited drives.

But i guess on a long term basic a fmic would be a good upgrade to have!!

Yeah thats what im saying.

I Just think the front bar i have isnt too well designed for airflow. So FMIC i went :(

Well ive gota fmic on my r33 series 2, bolted just under the rio bar. No idea what brand it is but it works well! The piping runs through the factory holes on the pod filter side of the engine bay...none of that cutting through the left hand guard under the washer container.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
