Rough indication on how much you WILL need to cut on a S2 to fit a Blitz LM/CS.

As you can see i cut it fairly tight so its less obvious. Absolute minimum required.

Is the reo the only part that needs trimming? Did you have to trim anything off of the chassis rails?

Anyone fitted one of the blitz coolers to a s1 or s1.5 R33?

Tried mine today and unless I mounted it incorrectly (I have no instructions) I will need to take a 50mm deep section out of the reo, which I wouldn't exactly call a trim or sweet FA :P

Hey guys,

Another relevant question to this thread;

I just installed my JJR Stealth cooler to my S1 R33, the reo needs the most minor of trims which is great.

My issue is that the parkers in my M spec bar foul the end tank of the cooler on the drivers side. I have the cooler mounted as far back as i possibly can.. The pipping all lined up perfect this way also. The top of the cooler is where it fouls, I have considered mounting it lower also yet this honestly wont help..

Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks,

Yup i had that issue big time.

My front bar is slightly different than the run of the mill R33 so i had to take drastic measures with mine.

This is what the Drivers side looks like, unmolested.

And heres my molestation of the passengers side to clear the piping.

As you can see i had to remove nearly all of the black plastic, and pull the brass pins from the plug itself and cut it down flush so i could bend them out of the way for my spade terminals to push on..

There was no other way to make it work for me haha.

Doesnt look that shit hot, but it works, and i havnt had a problem with it in over a year :)

The good thing is, i believe most of the R33's share the same round orange indicator. So the housing shouldnt be hard to locate if you return to stock for selling etc.

Good luck!

Wait i just re read your post and realized you were talking about an S1, and the end tanks rather than pipework. Lol Sorry dude, not enough sleep...

Either way.. thats an option :) grind grind grind! Cut cut cut!

You just need to take your time and think things through :blink:

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
