I like s1 bumper, its so..............plain....

Not too difficult,you will have to trim some of the bar, the side scoops mostly to clear pipes and a little out of the middle but not much..biggest problem i reckon is the aircon fan gets in the way so you need to cut the reobar...maybe a smaller fan or something could solve this, i just disposed of the aircon instead... :)

But yeah if you can be rid of that fan somehow its an easy fit...

But if your careful you can squeeze it in so neatly you can hardly notice it

if you want it noticed however,best to get another bar...

you might have to angle the intercooler a bit to miss some stuff

Mine had to be angled a bit to clear the driving light/indicator assembly and the A/C fan.

best thing to do is just to take the front bar off, mount the intercooler then trial fit the front bar till you get the intercooler at the right angle and trim the front bar enough for everything to fit nice

basically trial and error, best way

Mines one of the big fmic's and quite thick.

I didnt do it, a workshop that does not exist anymore did, but they barely shaved anything off it. didnt look so hard to do, mind you I didnt know much about my car at that stage.

you can barely notice it, cops have to stick their heads under the license plate to see it. I rekon it looks good. :)

I think yours is the factory front bar and mine is the factory body kit? not 100% sure...

You have M-Spec and the OP just has the normal front bar :)

My S1 Front bar had working driving lights (which from what I've heard is pretty rare) so they were in the way thats why my cooler was angled lol but anyway

Series 2 front bar is much nicer to put a FMIC behind, Requires a fair bit of trimming but only of parts that you cant see

there are also plenty of return flow front mount intercooler kits that you can use which sit very well as they use the stock intercooler pipes in the engine bay.

I have a BLITZ LM Return flow one, but i have a series 2 front bar, sits perfectly flush and its black too so does not grab any un-necessary attention.....

Just a thought. Oh yeah and you dont need to cutt any holes in the engine bay, just a slight few cms off the back of my front plastic bar and thats it.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
