Mention that it was totally stock as a rock when we bought it, since have added, cooling pro fmic, rims, pod filter, gauges and sound sys.

Next mods are exhaust, injectors, bigger turbo an tune bring on the power

Just using a Blitz pod filter, i have an engine bay photo around but not on my work computer

Cool, how much did that set you back?

I'm looking at buying a pod but are unsure which one I should get... I'm guessing they all do the same thing...

How much trouble was the cooling pro fmic to fit? Did it fit up to the stock SMIC pipes ok? Need to move horns/cut bumper etc?

Nice stag...Btw did you paint your grill black?looks cool ,I was thinking to do that...

The grill was black when i bought it and i dont think it was painted black either.

The FMIC was an absolute prick to install turned into a 2 night session, the pipes fit, but we had to make new brackets to mount the cooler on so it didnt sit at an angle, we got it so that we didnt have to end up cutting anything. we took off the air conditioning fan because the motor was too big and got in the way of the cooler and the horns were easily moved. Fits like a glove now but it was tedious to say the least.

ooh 'eck. not an easy fit to a series 2 then. think I might not go for the cooling pro fmic right away - i'd like to keep my a/c fan.

FMIC = good now i know how to put one on it, was a totally F***EN mission to begin so much for a easy session haha. but AC is working fine without the fan we will be putting on a thin davey craig or somthing soon when we get a chance for summer. I figure the the radiator one is drawing a fair bit through anyway

Cooler looks tops and is indeed very stealth even though it is polished silver.

Glad it turned out in the end. Matter of interest: have you got a series 2? and did you relocate your transmission cooler? if you didn't move your transmission cooler, do you think it would've made things easier if it had've been out of the way?

I can spot an S badge on rear, so no trans-cooler.

My R33 Greddy kit fitted fine, pipes perfect! horns relocated, reo skimmed, hole-sawed, heaps of room for A/c fan when i get one!

Love the grill!

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
