Selling an ARC turn flow intercooler for a GTST R33 Series 1 or 2.

Will not need to cut into body work so you won't risk defects to the car. You only need to shave off abit of the air con fan housing. Bolts on directly

I am selling the intercooler used but in great condition. No bent fins.

PRICE: $700

Location: Toowoomba

Payment: COD, Can post but postage to be paid by buyer. Brisbane / Gold Coast buyers, I can deliver...

Throw me an offer.

hey does it come with the bolts n stuff to bolt onto the car

To bolt onto the car, there are 3 points to attach:

1 uses the nut that holds the bonet latch. Undo and attach!!!

2 more at the bottom of the intercooler. Its just a 10 mm nut that will be provided. All the connecting pieces that holds the pipes together are provided.

Buy, plug and play baby

Any more details / pics of this?

I've been looking at fitting a Blitz LM FMIC to my car at the moment, and there's no way it's gonna clear the aircon fan housing and I don't feel real comfortable cutting into it.

I am quite confident that this FMIC will be able to carry that amount of power you are trying to achieve, and even more........

JRM Any more details / pics of this?

JRM: I think no matter how you go, you will need to shave off a bit of the housing. What I did to my car was just shave off part of the 'wing' that is sticking out of the fan housing. It won't throw the fan out of whack or anything. The more important bit is that the reo bar does not need much modification or cutting into.... What sort of pics do you want?

To the both of you, check out the link. I have done this myself too and its dead easy.

PS. check the first pic below item no. 8 and how the bit of air con fan housing needs to be shaved. Thats all in it....

The FMIC I am selling is exactly the same

Wow. Just wow, okay - I just learnt something.

The R33 fan is *totally* different to the R34 fan. The R34 fan the middle part has a plug and sticks *way* out from the housing - like maybe a good inch out. That's what the FMIC I'm trying to fit is hitting on. If ARC needs trimming on this fan, then I reckon any FMIC would.... bugger! Oh well, there goes my thought that maybe I could get rid of the Blitz and try an ARC :D

Like I said mate, throw me an offer. Get it while its hot!!!

It took me 2 days at first because I didn't have all the tools, First time I worked on a car and it took some time to find all the nuts and bolts. But it only took me 3 hours to remove the FMIC.

i got a blitz on my R34. didnt have any problems with it clearing the fan. although it is very close.

edit... when you got the kit there should have been 2 brackets for the top of the cooler one for r33 and one for r34

Did you trim your reo tho?

I've seen a few pics of r33 and r34 now - and their fans seems to be nothing like mine; The motor on my fan sits heaps further out ..

Reply: I am not sure whether the 33s and 34s have the same principles and I don't doubt you if the blitz doesn't require you trimming anything. ARCs usually have thicker cores isn't it??? As for this particular one that I got, all the brackets are welded to the FMIC. So I am not sure whether it is able to fit a 34

Reply: I did trim my reo alittle bit too. Not much, just nip it where the FMIC meets, angle grinder it about 5 mils, and whack the hell out of it to bend that bit of reo. If you ever take the FMIC out like me, just whack that bit back to its original position.

As to your fan, it sounds like an aftermarket type fan?

Again guys, throw me an offer...... I was real happy with it, nothing wrong with this particular one, just want to sell it as I will not be upgrading my car any more.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
