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:

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
