hey mate..

i'm in the same position as you..

i've gotten some other quotes though, try unigroup @ girraween.. they quoted me about 50 - 60 per hour.. takes about 5 - 6 hours..

and try sonny and kemp at ultra tune in smithfield..

Theyre on nissansilvia.com - go to the new south wales forum and there should be a sticky thread called INTERCOOLER PIPING or something like that.

check that out and send em a PM

cheers.

I did my own install, and also another persons the other day for $250 and they supplies the pipework, clamps and brackets. Its approx 5hr job, as you have to do alot of angle grinding on the support bar which takes the most time.

You also need to modify the front bar, to fit the bar back on, hence cutting back some of the plastic.

With the right tools and some nice space, not too hard to do :D Today I had to dismantle a FMIC for compliance purposes, and replace it with the stock cooler, that basically felt like more work than an install... hehe

:D

Ahhh i c, its really not that hard to be honest.... If you want, I can do it for the same price as I charged the other guy to install his... You basically just need to supply the pipe kit for ur FMIC...

Do you have an aftermarket front bar????

hey i have just bought a 3.5 inch xforce turbo back system and a fmic for my 33, was wondering if anyone new any places around hills area where could get fmic installed

have been quoted around 500 for install from unique autosports, is that the price ill be looking at?

thanks :D

Hey mate,

I got the same exhaust system.....is it the one with the combined dump and front pipe?

My one is a single dump & front pipe and it seems to keep coming loose from the turbo.....ive had it tighted 2 times already, same thing happens.....

let me know if you get the same problem......hopefully not.....

yeh i have an fm style front bar

I (and other SAUers) strongly recommend MRC.

Very helpful, explains everything and high quality work.

tell em the price son, the price son!

eventually, when i get the FMIC done, i wanna Eff the piping off and move it to the other side so it comes up the OTHER side of the engine, then across the top, so i can relocate my pod in the lil stock cooler box thingo on my front passanger side thingo. ;)

Thing to the thingo thingo.... Hrrrrmmmm Anyhow, you can run CAI when it routes the piping over the engine fan.

seeing as your in the hills area give castle hill exhaust a go.

they did my complete front mount, plumbing and exhaust and total cost ended up being $1600.

they made and fitted the lot in about 3 days and do good quality work, im sure the fact they dont have to make anything up would make it alot quicker and cheaper.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
