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..

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
