Just a question regarding the fitment of the FMIC, is it possible to fit it so that there is no need to cut the Reo bar with the parts provided? i have been having troubles getting the core of the intercooler to be as far right as possible utilising the brackets provided.

if you have any experience with this would appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

It can fit without cutting your reo, BUT, I had to trim my chassis rails that hung about 25-40mm past the radiator support. Basically made the rails sit flush with the radiator support and allowed enough room for the core to sit in a position that I didnt need to cut the reo.

I ended up trimming it anyway as I bought some s1.5 foggies and then became a head ache.

Lol what? You trimmed the chassis rail ends? Thats about a billion times worse then trimming the reo.

Anyways on most from mounts you have to trim the support and the bar a little.

Yeah go ahead and trim the chassis rails like someone suggested. Who cares about the structural integrity of the car....

Chances are you will have to trim the reo a bit mate. Dont be discouraged, it doesnt make much of a differene as you will only have to take off a few mm. I had to do it on mine. You'll be fine.

thanks all for the replies, will be cutting today, spent ages fiddling with the brackets seeing if there anyway to get it back enough. no way! hahah.

appreciate it, so in a nutshell you pay more for the return flow as it minimises the amount you have to cut.

cheers all!

Bahaha tell me how 30mm of overhanging metal is effecting the structural integrity of the car? :no:

OP here is a pic of mine where I trimmed the ends to allow the core and brackets to sit closer and not require trimming of the reo..

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
