We were going to do the fmic ourselves as well to save some money, but we ran out of time with the car being booked into gav's for tuning and the cooler only arriving the day we were meant to drop it down. So I just wanted it on and stuff, I did have a choice, but I'm stubbern and wanted the cooler on asap. I've waited 2 damn years for the thing!!

They only left the numberplate bar in because I said I was going to get the car resprayed and the panel beater would do it. But, I don't know if that is going to happen now. Plus I don't want the cooler there for poser value. It's actually doing something. Not just sticking out the front of the car screaming "HI, I'M A FMIC, PLEASE COME STEAL ME!"

I kinda like the hidden look, and it's kinda protecting it against rocks and the like. But, I know it's "KINDA" restricting flow. Not that much, but anything's a help.

hey

i was just reading your posts and wondering whats the best way to cut your bar cause i have a cooler arriving sometime this week and i want to cut the bar a little but not to much, cause i agree with what you said erin i dont want to be a posser but i do like a little show(but not to much)

i hope ive got the time to put it in too. i think im going to finish at lunch time on a friday and hit it hard friday arvo/nite. then i can get what i need on saturday and finish off on sunday. i did watch my next door neighbour put one in his 32 and it took him 4 hours from start to finish.

With a HKS cooler it should be easy like mine. Because they are actually made specifically for that type of car by a company that's reputable (is that the word?) by nissan.

I was worried it would take ages, but the only thing they had to do was cut a hole in the front drivers side to let the pipe through (that's if you aren't using the standing piping).

Wade, I'm really not sure about 32's, but in the R33's they've got a support bar behind the plastic numberplate holder which has to be cut (which is another reason mine wasn't cut out). Because I got a thicker than normal cooler (apexi coolers are thicker but not as tall) 88mm thick, they had to cut a bit of the lower lip away to fit the cooler properly. But that is the ONLY thing that was cut. Perfect fit otherwise.

Not like the hybrid kits for R33's where I've been told that the first instruction is to cut your fan blades so the pipes fit properly without hitting the pipe..

wade - do you have a gtst or gtr? my neighbour got a greddy kit i think and he didnt cut anything at all, but it was one of those kits where the pipe bends back under the cooler and fits upto the stock turbo piping. i'll be using a 70mm holesaw to drill the chassis rail.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
