So I've spent the last day and a half trying to install an FMIC into my GTt r34 Skyline.

I've ran into a few problems, and ended up just putting the stocky back in so I can drive it.

Mounted the cooler no problem, had to get a new smaller thermal fan and move the horn, but all good.

Taking out the old side-mount was a bit of a hassle, but got it, and the piping on that side fits perfectly.

My problem is with the piping on the drivers side.

First, we managed to find a gap small enough to JUST fit the piping through. But coming up into the engine bay, and running across above the radiator fan, it sticks up too much and the bonnet cant close (aswell as having to remove the engine cover).

Can anyone who has installed an r34 fmic give me any ideas? I'm getting quite frustrated!

Cheers.

PS Will post pics if needed...

What brand of FMIC is it?

It's just a crappy brand one (chinese I think :-S)...Monsta Performance.

Piping kit is nothing like what it needs to be, but I have some extra piping to work with.

Just need to know where to put it and how it should go in :)

Most of the FMIC apart from the turnflow units require you to cut a neat hole under the battery box in the same place as the GTR has one.

If it is the following item then from the pics it will need a hole cut.

Cheers mate.

Any chance of pics of where the piping comes up from the cooler into the engine bay? And how it goes over the engine bay to connect it?

Much appreciated :(

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
