So I am going to be fitting a blitz return flow front mount to my ER34 which has a nismo front bar. I am not worried about the actual fitment of the cooler but rather how it will look and am wondering what other people with the same bar have done. Did the number plate need to be moved? Where and how did you mount the number plate? Can anyone post some pics of 34's with the nismo bar and a fmic.

I'm going to go ahead and say that the number plate probably wont need relocating at all, it'll be simply a matter of trimming off some of the back sections of the front bar to fit the cooler and piping. But how much is going to be up to you to figure out when test fitting the front bar,
There is a great tutorial on how to fit return flow FMIC's in the Tutorial section, have a look, i'd say it'll answer all of your questions.

Hey RusH, yer have read the DIY and it is great. I'm not worried about trimming behind the bar, doesn't look too hard to do. I'm more worried about how it will look and making sure the cooler actually gets plenty of fresh air. I was thinking of making a Nismo template and spraying a logo on the cooler as well. So if anyone has done this any tips or advice would be great. The only reason I was thinking of moving the number plate is for more airflow to the cooler but tbh I think it would look quite ugly but when you look at a nismo front bar there doesn't look like a lot of surface area for air to flow through. I just wanna make sure fitting a cooler will not just look better but actually perform, otherwise it is just an expensive piece of bling.

Fair enough,
One thing you could consider doing which i've done is redrilling the holes in your number plates and moving the plate upward, still positioned in the centre but just sitting higher up, this frees up the front end significantly depending on how high you take it.

That's a great tip, dunno why I didn't think of that. Will move my number plate up a bit higher, problem solved I reckon. Would still like to hear from anyone that has spray painted a logo onto their cooler and how they went

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
