They are extremely rare. I tried to buy an ARC smic for my Stagea many years ago with no luck. Cracked and  got a front mount. Other makers include Trust and Nismo but be aware that any R33 or R34 models will not fit without major modification .

Thanks. 
Yea I’ve done my research n aware of all the in n outs.  Stock rb20 daily driver, I’ll only go fmic when I put rb25 neo in with forward facing plenum (I like shortest cooler piping for max response). 
Its worth trying my luck on rare arc smic, n if no luck after ages I might think about custom side mount, or just wait til I do neo/ffp/fmic..

Has far less effect than you could possibly believe.

I put hand made return flow front mount on my R32 when it was still a 20 and experienced exactly zero decrease in response. The length of pipe myth is just that - a myth.

Use an s15/r34  side mount for a cheap upgrade and make ducting from front around it. I've known of an s13 making almost 200kw with smic & water sprayer.

thanks guys, 

yea this wanted ad is mainly to see if I can find a rare BOLT ON SMIC (ARC, or TRUST or NISMO..).  Thanks anyway but not really asking for advice or opinion, I already know what I want to do.  I'm particular n always do my own research.?  Not real keen to cut my type M front bar/reo(spesh holesaw in body) for fmic.  MAY get gtr front bar in future..

GTSboy yea longer piping could b a bit of a myth I guess, b only very minimal if any improvement in response.  I'm no pro but it takes at least a tiny bit of time for the turbo to fill/pressurise all of the cooler n piping from idle/after bov release (n also time it takes to get some decent intake air speed/velocity at throttle body from idle..  especially if loaded with my heavy tools in 4th or 5th gear very low revs up hill, normal daily driving..).  Lots of variables.  As u may already know, main things for response r turbo size/design(eg EFR with light titanium turbine wheel, ball bearing etc), turbine housing size/design(twin scroll etc), inlet/exhaust runner length n inside diameter/design,  turbo back exhaust size, cooler piping size, big heavy rims, lightened flywheel  etc etc… (maybe even internal intercooler core design a tiny bit?..)..      We prob should all keep this as a wanted ad tho, I'm not a big fan of lots of typing, this is way too much already haha..?

cheers

tiny bit of time

I've quoted the important words. Calculate the volume of the pipework. Now calculate the flowrates involved. Divide one by the other and then double the time for paranoia's sake. Undetectably small amounts of time.

You don't have to cut anything to fit a return flow cooler to an R32 if you plan it out and do it right. The smart ones amongst us set it up so that the return pipe runs behind the reo bar (not under the cooler, like most kits). That keeps the whole core out in the breeze, not hiding behind the reo.

My whole point is that there is no point wasting money and effort putting in a halfway right SMIC when you're planning to go 25 later anyway. Spending money twice is shitty.

If I find an ARC SMIC I might leave it in if I do neo n kept it stock(12psi max).  If I want a decent setup it’ll b forward facing plenum on a track car, not this car that my wife drives with kids sometimes.  My uncut plastic type M bar will need cutting for return flow..

Anyways,

let me know guys if u know of a bolt on r32 gtst SMIC 4 sale(ARC, or Trust or Nismo). 
thanks

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
