Just Jap Stealth Intercooler Problems... R34 Gtt

[Daz305]

hi guys i recently got a just jap stealth intercooler for my r34 gtt with the nismo aero body kit, i got the intercooler on ok but am having a real hard time getn the front bit of the chassis back on infront of it.... it seems no matter wat i try it is about a cm or 2 from fitting back neatly wether i try mounting the intercooler higher like on the same bolt as the release lever for the bonnet or lower with a bracket and to the side like jase-r34 did... (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Jj...lth+intercooler)

in the picture wat the red arrow is pointing to the front of the fan stops me fron having the fmic back any further and the yellow line is the part of teh chassis that i cant get back on only just because the intercooler doesnt seem to fit in that gap... so i cant get the holes lined up to put all the bolts back in...

any1 got suggestions or have this happen to them?

thanx

the bar your talking about is called a reo bar. i had to trim a bit off mine to get it back on. just mark on the reo how much you have to cut and get out the grinder. lol.

i had to trim about an inch off my reo bar to clear my cooler (saber)

yeah, i had to cut a little, i rang and asked if i had to cut anything when purchasing, and they said no

only way to not cut would to be to remove the thermo or put a rather thin one on

Theres no such thing as bolt on!

[Daz305]

bolt on kits that come with everything u need should also include an angle grinder haha

or say on them

"Bolt on Intercooler...

Caution: by no means necessary will this part will not bolt on!)

FYI: Trimming the reo-bar is un-roadworthy as far as I know too...

i got the same intercooler and got the guys at eas performance to fit it for me and the only cutting that was done was the plastic bits on the front of the standard r34 front bar and that was it. i can see mine sits up against the reo bar but no cutting or trimming on it at all.

i fit mine myself and I didn't have to cut anything. Just had to modify the bracket a bit as it doesn't line up 100%

I got a different FMIC kit but I still had to cut a bit of the reo bar. For those who didn't cut it I guess you got lucky and found a way around it.
