Front Mount Installation With No Cutting Holes


Recommended Posts

hi guys, ive had a FMIC sitting round for a while and i think its time to have it put on. i want the piping to go back around the cooler, rather than have a hole cut so it will be road worthy.

can anyone recommend a good place that will do this and if possible tell me how much it will cost? it can be anywhere in melbourne i dont mind. as long as the place is reliable.

so ive spoken to several places in s.e suburbs, a few who said its not possible to do it without cutting a hole, for which i said thanks for your time aka get f**ked u noobs. prices seem to vary from $350 to $1000

get a blitz return flow kit, or the just jap one,,needs no cutting, just need the reo trimmed to fit the top of the cooler.

but if u do wanna use your core(assuming it's just a normal core), you'll probably need to get someone to make a U-joint to connect up with the rest of the piping..

But i'd jus go with a full blitz kit,,then just sell your core

i think the jusjap ones cost about $400 for the r33 one, not sure about r34

Yeh if you wana go that option its not bad, im doing 230+ kw's with my just jap & blitz return flow cooler. I broke my blitz return flow core so now using the just jap and they are just identictal! fits up nice

you can purchase them here:

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
