Very busy weekend, just installed an r33 sytle FMIC in my er34. All i can say is that after alot of cutting and grinding it fits. I didn't take any shots during the mod, since i was busy all weekend and didn't even think about taking any. However i will get some shots next weekend since the front bumper has to come off so i can remount and fit the wiper watertank (thats one thing r34s have to modify).

Some of the biggest time consuming things of the weekend. (r34 specific)

* The r34 bonnet had to be cut in order to close - the overcam pipe needs to be high and more to the front to clear the radiator fan; by cutting out some of the bonnet support structure i was able to get a 0.1cm clearence :P (atleast it closes, however there will still be rubbing from the soft bonnet padding.

* The wiper water tank needs to be moved; haven't figured that out yet so im currently driving without one. Either it needs to be repoistioned else where or, what i think might work, rotate it 90 degrees so its facing forward and construt support brackets.

* For autos, that sensor in front of the trans cooler needs to be flipped inward or your IC will hit it.

Anyone attempting to do this, allow a full weekend since it took me 9-5 sat and sun of full time work (no lunch breaks) to get this done, so allow plently of time if you need to drive the car monday. This morning the car drove well, no noticable turbo lag; fitted a greddy pod filter at the same so all i can hear now in the cabin is the turbo whine - totally cancealling out the BOV, sounds awesome though.

the blitz kit must be different, does the blitz kit run a pipe behind the IC to other side?; by r33 style i mean that the intake pipe went up and over the cam cover and radiator fan not down into the stock holes. Therefore in order to get clearance some of the supports needed to be 'removed' and a hole cut down in the subframe to bring it around into the area where the wiper tank is.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
