The Sa Wasteland

I fitted an ISC kit to one of my mates R33 and it was a pain in the ass. None of the bracket fitted and the drivers side piping was no where near close to fitting. the passangers side was close to fitting but did need to be modded.

In the end i made up my own brackets, cut the pipes and bought two extra silicone fittings it it fit then. I think it was sold as an R32/33 kit and it definatley didn't fit an r33.

yeh i had same issue with mine that dale did.. ended up doing the same as you did to fit it!

When i rang Ryan to find out what was going on he pulled out the old line, "i've sold heaps of these and i have never had anyone have a problem with fitting them". i even sent him pictures but never got a reply.

If the brackets had fit then the piping would have fit, but the R33 have a thermo fan infront of the air-con' heat exchanger which ment that the bracket were to short. I then had to cut the shroud around that fan and make up longer brackets that sat the inter-cooler further forward which then ment that the piping was too short.

The drivers side piping was also on the wrong angle where it went through the guard below the washer bottle.

With my 180 i made up my own piping which although it took a bit longer and was more expensive (it was $505 for everything as opposed to $300 + the extras which i think was $150 for the ISC kit) it fit better and being stainless it looks better and will always be the way i will go with my own cars. Although i might try and make my next piping up out of aluminium.

Why didn't you buy the same then silly boy? aha

not my car mate!

Yeah mine came from Just Jap too, but front bar modification was the biggest pain in the ass.

i dont mind the front bar and reo mods, but trimming fans and modifying brackets shouldn't be necessary!!! being a mass produced product and/or rip off of a Japanese kit, you'd think they'd make these things right and to fit without too much stuffing around!

I too see your lock there Mitch, and raise you another.

Ah this is why I love having a standard front mount

My 100mm Trust FMIC fits with no issue. No cutting what-so-ever. It all depends on what you pay

and i trump your rock with my rock

[Weezy]

every part of my body wants to really make my wheels fit, but at this point in time its looking 100% un-acheivable without making the car a TOTAL cop to drive. by this I mean, heaps and heaps of camber, stiff as fark coilovers etc

I use the GT-R daily, I am by no means looking for a silk smooth ride, after all its a GT-R but with stupid amounts of camber the road chews thru tires... ehhhh. When i bought these wheels I didn't think it would be this hard lol....

[rad100]

coz your weak... dude i had 18x10 =18 on mine with rolled guards and sitting on its ass..

just get some stretch and play around with your driveway!

[Madaz]

this will fix your driveway issues

[J - Rad]

Wayne, go take a photo of your driveway for all to see.

[DamageInc]

it is pretty steep , i got beached on it in my car but my car is/was slammed

[Weezy]

Yeah oath, my driveway is on like a 30degree incline probably more.

I've got 245's on a 10" wheel, jacked up 3.5cm just to get in and out of my driveway... what more what you like faaark lol.

[J - Rad]

I can barely get up. Go 3 wheel motion and ATTESSA pulls me up lol

[rad100]

roll the gurads man, but go to somewhwere good like all type..

make them fit man, you will regret it sooo much!

[Weezy]

bro its not just the guards that are the problem I think.

I think because my coilover spring rates are mallala spec they're on 5krear 6k front it allows the coilover to travel a bit more as the weight transfers going over things and up my driveway to then force the wheel to touch the guard while reversing out on an angle.

[rad100]

lol... u will regret selling them!

oh well!

i would make them fit..

[Weezy]

1. its not your daily

2. you have more moneyz then me

[DSTROY]

My stagea is a daily with 19x8 +30 on the front with 30mm bolt on spacers = 19x8 0 offset with none stretched tyres, rubs like crazy on big bumps and in the hills etc etc, really not that big a deal, rather have my car look like WIN and scrape than look like fail and aids and not scrape. Luke had 18x10s on his 4 door. If you want your car to look average then sell the rims but if you want it to be a stand out/look tuff as all fuc then make them fit.

My 2 cents.
