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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
