Good day everyone!

I am having some issues and about to give up. I just bought an r33 GTR FMIC and was hoping to put in on my R33 GTST. After removing the bumper and looking how it would mount, it doesn't look possible. I've thought about just turning around and selling it and just buying a cheaper intercooler kit specific to the GTST. Any thoughts? I need help please!!!!!!!!!!!! I've attached a pic of what I am working with.

Thanks,

Zach

Is it just because it's not made for it? I have been checking out some FMIC's for the GTST and most don't seem to have much holding it up......Would you mount the GTR intercooler or buy one just for the GTST? Just curious cause I have never put up a front mount before.

Find someone who can weld. Improvise! Locate the core where the pipes have somewhere to go and then you just need to weld on a couple of tabs top and bottom and bolt them to something solid.Get a thinner aircond fan if necessary and cut away any non -structural bits that get in the way.

Nothing a afew zip ties can't solve... although you will need to cut a hole in the chassis on the cold side of the intercooler which might cause issues down the track if the car is defected and a full inspection required, GTRs have this hole done at the factory

Cheaper to buy a whole kit than get piping made up...

That's just been my experience though, $1000 for custom piping hot and cold side in stainless with a few things welded into the piping...

Sorry, didn't notice you'd said passenger side. I think on GTRs the two turbo outlet pipes just go down through the same two holes that are in front of the airbox that GTSts use for the intercooler, then join under the guard before going around to the cooler inlet.

So you have custom made piping to suit a gtr cooler on a gtst? If so your set, if your trying to use gtr piping then it's more of a headache cause of the front facing plenum and the holes are in different locations meaning you will have to cut holes etc etc

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
