R34 Factory Aero Kit, Intercooler Install Question

[neopowered34]

Hey Guys

I have a 1998 R34 GT-T that is fitted with the factory Aero kit. I want to install a FMIC as mine is stock but do not want to cut or modify my front bumper. Does anyone know what is required to install one with this kit and point me in the direction of what I should be buying? I would prefer a black one as I don't want it to stand out, planning on building a sleeper as its my daily. Thanks in advance for your help.

A mate of mine had a gtt with the same front bar and we didn't need to trim anything at all on the bar

Thanks for the info, besides the battery plate were there any other fabrications you needed to do for it to fit in neatly?

Trimmed the fan blades to stop it from hitting on the crossover pipe

Get a return flow style kit, won't have to chop the fan blades as for the front bar when I was looking for a bar, a few people seemed to have chopped out a little bit around the number plate for the front mount, only going on what they said tho.

Yeah I don't want to chop the part behind the numberplate as I think it looks untidy without it, Might look at the return flow kit, I wana run about 10psi so don't need anything special, just a bit bigger than my standard one. As for the fan blades thanks for the heads up

Double check when you get a return flow and confirm with manufacturer if you need to cut or not. I have the Blitz Return Flow intercooler the instructions didn't explicitly state you had to chop the bumper, but in my case on my S1 R33 bumper I had to trim a bit where the indicators sit.

If you get the Blitz return flow for the R34 the minimum you'll have to do is trim the Reo-bar, but depending on how you mount it you might not need to trim anything, maybe bend bits of the chassis at most. You could probably also run 10psi with your current intercooler as the R34 is the biggest of the SMIC, just watch those Air Fuel ratios.

yeah r34 i think the reo must be trimmed, mine sits directly on the reo its a tight fit and (seems) to be cut. blitz return flow that is. but its a very basic cut so no big deal. make sure they supply 3 ply silicone because mine was fitted with 1 ply and it was thin and shit. seemed to be part of the kit

Return flow is the way to go make... Saves you cutting a hole in your chassis which is defectable. Plus, Installing a return flow is much easier, comes with all the pipings and brackets you'll need.

As for cutting... I too have a Blitz return flow installed on my car, and I needed to trim the reinforcement bar. Although I have a stock front bar, I needed to trim the whole centre bit and the right hand side vents (on the bar), because that's where the piping will sit.
