Recommended Posts

Guest | hype^ |

hey guys..

well the time has come to get a FMIC for my 'line.

iv deceided to go with a custom job rather than a HKS etc.

i was wondering where is the best place in Syd to go for this..

i want it all fitted including cutting my front bar for better air flow.

i was considering Mick's Metal Craft..

any one hace any suggestions?:confused:

Unique Autosports

nismo.com.au

R33 Skyline GTST kit retail $1695 (i can better it)

600 x 300 x 75 polished intercooler

Alluminium polished pipework provided with kit as well as heavy duty silicone hose fittings and clamps.

Bolts on, only mods required are a hole under the washer bottle and a slight trim of the front bar.

Great intercoolers, i have fitted one and im more than happy with it

Ricol Automotive at Peakhurst and Mr Enforcer at chipping norton both do excellent coolers, you have the choice of alloy of mild steel plumbing. Ricol will chop and modify front bar if needed.

All parts and installation for around the $1500 mark. but people will often do it cheaper if you can do somethin for them...

my cooler is gettin done now for round $800 only because im tattooing the bloke for free.

so shop around....

Nick,

Are the UAS ones easy to fit yourself ?? I mean - I'm not useless with a shifter and a screwdriver, but I wouldn't want to get myself in the 5hit. I assume all the bits and pieces like hoses and clamps etc come with the kit ??

Any one know indicitive power gains with a cooler like this ??

Brendan: im the same. I like tinkering but im no JUN mechanic :uh-huh: The kit has everything. The only tools u will likely need are a air saw or hacksaw blade, some fine sand paper to smooth bar edges if trimming is required, drill with 3 inch hole saw bit screwdrivers/shifters.

Not hard at all... it does pay to have an extra pair of hands. Myself and cereal jacques fitted my cooler, we used the hoist and tools at UAS

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
