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

You only need to shave off abit of the air con fan housing

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.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
