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.

This is the same kit in-case your wondering: http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/x408/DrHaxZaw/frontbar_zps01271872.jpg

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?

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.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
