anyone with a aftermarket FMIC on their m35 ...what was the dimensions you used without having to butcher the front bar to buggery?

and was that a relatively easy fit?

Doesnt need to be huge. infact id rather it quite thin but long. Anything has to be better than the standard one on there.

any feedback on dimensions would be great so i know what to buy before tearing the front bar off.

cheers

Mine has a 600 x 220 core now I modified it, bolts under the bar, just.

Most of the guys run a standard 600 x 300 but you have to remove the thermo fan and replace it with a thinner one, core sits behind the bar.

I used to run a 450 x 300 which fit beside the thermo fan motor but it wasnt ideal.

There is enough width to run maybe 800mm if you really wanted but you are stuck with standard core sizing usually.

Best cooler will be a 600 x 300 x 76 and a thinner fan, The HDI kit would be the go if you have the coin. All the piping is plastic and will need to be changed so factor that in.

Do you have a power goal? Mine keeps raising... ;)

I've got the HDI FMIC kit....no complaint's and easy to install yourself....big improvement over the standard one especially in summer.

If you want one that will fit nicely under the reo, maybe look at this Trust unit?

Is looking more and more like the way I go and get some 1-piece mandrel bent inlet and outlet piping done locally.... will have to make up your own brackets though

But then again, I am not going for 300awkw

Hey mate,

For a little variety I went the Blitz CS FMIC kit for the M35 from Just Jap. Cheaper than the HDi unit also (last time I checked). It was $999 + around $50 postage to the Gold Coast. If you would like to see it/drive it, come on down.

Blitz FMIC

Core Size - 620 x 266 x 76mm. Only the reo bar had to be cut back a tiny bit. Could not be happier though.

Cheers

PS: Glad theres more M35s in Qld now.

You cut back the alloy reo? How is the air going to flow to that part of the cooler? Maybe you should have put a thinner fan on instead.

I had just replaced the fan with a new OEM one so I was not going to do that again. Plus, it was my Mechanic who did it without telling me prior to him installing it. Sucks to be me.

hmm... Hdi's kit should set you back around the $800 mark. Can't remember if that included shipping or not though.

Also, the HD' GT2 core is significantly more efficient than the Blitz unit

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
