hello, I recently purchased a new blitz se intercooler with return flow from just jap, it is a very trick kit.

all instructions are in Japanese with guiding pictures.

I had a previous no brand intercooler fitted with similar style piping which retained the stock engine bay piping, but much less diameter.

the reo had already been trimmed for previous install so I had a rough guide and knew previously that I needed to trim the reo bar.

upon installing I found out that the reo needed to be trimmed another inch roundabouts on both sides as the cooler itself was a little longer, this was no worries but once done and lifted into position it seems its hitting on another bracket that sort of sits near the side of the headlight both sides and is just touching the bolt where the new bracket has been installed my question is do I need to do some more trimming or is my bracket up to high?

it looks like if I trim this section the bar will just fail to hold.

p.s this is on the r34.

can someone that has been through this give me some answers and help?

can I see some pictures of someones install and what problems they had and how you overcome that.

thanks.

Just fit one on a few weeks ago myself. Was way easier than the Kkr install

I made sure everything including piping and brackets were loose. Started from left to right and made sure someone was pushing the cooler back towards engine as I tightened.

I bent the the bar slightly to fit.

Was very straight forward imo

yeah it's the shorter one of the 2 for the install.

i eneded up using the r33 piece and mounting the bracket to a different hole on the chassie gaurd part in the photo as there are 3 to choose from.

it was a perfect fit and the reason i got a new kit was to prevent bumper trimming as it was an aftermarket gtr look alike bumper. it fits perfect.

i replaced a similar size intercooler with the blitz kit and didn't notice much difference but why i changed it, it deffiantly did and that was to make more room for the bumper and a cleaner look.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
