JSTA33 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 cheers for the quik reply mate.. im not 100 percent sure, the FMIC is infront of the radiator, about 20 centermeters or so infront of the radiator.. it doesnt look like a massive cut job, how would i go about getting a new reo bar if needed? thanks.

JSTA33 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 cheers.. the current intercooler i got on in greddy, a kit, not made specially for r33 skyline.. if i was to sell that and buy a intercooler made for r33, then somehow figure how to cover up the chassis.. good idea? im kinda trippin cos i dont want to get defected. want to keep my mind at peace.

SkyHi_33 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) if you read through a few pages back i mentioned what was legal which came straight out of the inspectors mouth. front mounts will pass if the reo hasn't been cut, they're not fussed about sheet metal bit as long as its neatly cut and rust proofed. (and even most of the time trimmed reo bars will pas as long as they aren't cut straight down the middle sorta thing) sheet metal bit is the part of your car that has been cut. However, if the cut was made too low and in to the actual chassis (aka. backyard ghetto job) then your car will be blacklisted, never to be registered again until you get an engineers certificate stating it has been fixed properly. just take a look in to the engine bay under the washer bottle and see if the pipe is coming through the hole above the flat part of the chassis rail.

JSTA33 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 cheers mate.. i had a look, and the pipe is coming from the side of the washer bottle.. just a small whole to fit that in.. and also that cross bar that holds the radiator up.. it has been cut in front of the radiator where it goes towards the front bumperbar. it looks like i can just bolt on another cross bar thats holding up the radiator. it doesnt look like a shonky job. but you can get certificates if you get defectd?

Damo_R34 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 engineering certificates are rather costly, be much much cheaper to replace the radiator support Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/40/#findComment-4561780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTA33 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 ill look into that.. and maybe sell my greddy intercooler and get one put on thats made for a r33.. i dont like the thought of defects.. even though any car is defectable.

Damo_R34 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 what makes you say it isn't made for an r33? the 33 and 34 kits are the same. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/40/#findComment-4562282 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSTA33 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 because if it was made for a 33 im guessing they wouldnt have cut that radiator support. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/40/#findComment-4563305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd-runr Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Will the stock r33 series 1 reo bar fit over a greddy fmic without modification? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/40/#findComment-4565262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo_R34 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 yes, i believe so. Another option is to buy an FMIC core, mounted to your specified location, and take it to an exhaust shop to have the piping plumbed to suit the location of the core.

SkyHi_33 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Will the stock r33 series 1 reo bar fit over a greddy fmic without modification? What are the dimensions? If its 600x300x76 or bigger then no, you will have to slightly trim the reo bar. Not sire for r34 but i haven't seen a single r33 with a big intercooler that didn't need it trimmed.

heslo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm running a 100mm intercooler on my GTR with no modifications to the reo... not sure if the spacing differs between GTS-t and GTR but I think not Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/246921-the-defected-thread/page/40/#findComment-4565812 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSTA33 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 my intercooler is a decent size, like its abit bigger then my radiator.. and they didnt cut the reo bar.. just abit of the radiator support.. only thing they cut on reo bar was a hole for the pipes.
