i'm a p plater driving a R33 GTS-T and i wanna get abit more air in the turbo and wanna keep it sleeper looking cause i have been pulled over before but the cops just looked for a big FMIC and then they let me go (hehe dumb asses) and cause of this i wanna know if i can perhaps get another smic on the other side of my car and somehow get it working...i'm not expecting it to be as good as a FMIC but i just wanna know if it can be done.

you're so bad...

HKS among others used to direct replacement coolers for the stock side mount.. keep your eyes open in the for sale thread and you might get lucky, they come up from time to time..

r34 GT-T coolers also have a thicker core and are a significant upgrade over the stock 33 item, with this cooler 12psi of boost through the stock turbo would be feasable & with a tune you'd be cracking the 200rwkw mark :)

Indeed possible.

The question is though will it cool as much as a FMIC?

Hard to say.

But this is the situation a larger, aftermarket FMIC should flow/cool better than two factory I/C's linked up

Also the piping would be shorter than using two FMIC's, one on either side of the car as you suggest.

So overall while you might possibly get some benefit, it might be offset by the fact you'll be adding even more piping to what is already long.

(if you went the FMIC route)

It’s a good idea, but I think cost vs gain vs stealth… its still not worth it.

I'd just upgrade to a R34 SMIC if your after something with the stock turbo, that’s probably the best and easiest option

one SMIC is more than enough, no need for two.

The r34 GTT smic is a direct bolt-on for the r33 and is about 50% larger than the r33 i think.

I currently have a ARC SMIC which is 50% larger than r34 smic and have no issues pushing 200kw atw. Going to push it to 230kw atw and see how the ol' smic will handle :happy:

i am taking my 34SMIC off on saturday to make way for further mods(including FMIC)... I also have the 34 Shroud to go with it, with it fitted, I found i got less heat soak, and the engine revved alot more smoothly/freely. The bonus is it is undetectable.

Let me know if you would like it via PM!

I was getting some maccas the other day and seen a old mate who is a cop, i was asking why the cops pull over imports and his mate who was a SGT said that they pick anything that has a stupid big radiator thing hanging out the front of the car, unlike your which doesn't, i didn't tell him Ive got mine painted matte black.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
