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.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
