As stated, you really can't.. you simply need the extra size to do it's job correctly

If you want a side mount your options are really limited to the R34 stock side mount but even then it's not that much of an upgrade, or the ARC sidemount which is said to be okay as an upgrade, and is able to handle a little extra boost but you'll find things getting hot if you push it too much, and with the cost of those you might as well purchase a front mount

Have you considered a turnflow style front mount cooler?

All the other side mounts have the inlet and outlet wrong for an R32 so you would have to take them off and re-weld them. The 2m of piping won't be doing your performance any harm but for tidiness a return flow would do the job. And yes water to air coolers work fine but a lot of money for no real gain.

What's your definition of max out?

I have both the ARC and Trust/Greddy SMIC units (the larger ones...they also made smaller ones but they're a similar size to the R34 GT-T unit and therefore are a waste of time these days). The ARC unit is slightly larger than the Trust one.

However, the ARC unit re-uses the stock plastic duct thing whereas the Trust one comes with its own metal air guide. Whether or not this has any difference on performance is hard to say. I would guess that the best setup would be the ARC unit with some custom ducting instead.

R32 GTS-t

Length: 205mm Height: 190mm Width: 60mm Volume: 2337cm^3
R34 GT-T
Length: 205mm Height: 220mm Width: 80mm Volume: 3608cm^3

Trust/Greddy:

Length 240mm Height: 193mm Width: 103mm Volume: 4771cm^3

ARC

Length: 240mm Height: 200mm Width: 108mm Volume: 5184cm^3

Anyway...as to how they perform...well it really depends on what gas you are using. A lot of the people on here get bad results with them because they are using 98RON pump gas. These things were made for the Japanese market and on the assumption that you would be putting in 100RON or better gas. I know people in Japan who have used the ARC SMIC with a HKS 2530, made 200~220rwkw, and had zero problems with detonation/pinging or heat. In fact, HKS' own demo cars for the 2530 (HCR32) and 2535 (ECR33) back in the day used SMICs.

YMMV. But if you want to try it, here is an ARC one on YAJ:

http://page18.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w122908114

If you don't have access to 100+ RON gas but still want to make 200~220rwkw...then it would be better/easier to use a FMIC so you have more efficient cooling (and therefore detonation prevention) to make up for the lack of fuel quality.

If you do have 100+ RON fuel and you only want to make 200~220rwkw...then there is no reason why you couldn't use one of these. My friends in Japan were able to do this without a water spray kit, but I imagine in hot climates especially it wouldn't hurt to put one on. Cusco/Pivot used to sell one, but it's discontinued. You can make your own and buy the controller someone posted above. The Cusco/Pivot one is nice though because it comes with a perfect spray nozzle that really gives you a fine atomized spray over the IC. If anything I would see if you can find the nozzle and ignore the controller since it isn't as smart as the one posted above.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
