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.

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! :P

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!

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.... :P

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.

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.

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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
