how's the ride ? is it back jarring ?

Not even mate, extremely pleasant. You do feel feel everything, but only very slightly. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being ouch, 10 being butter, I'd say these coilovers are about a 7.

Well I'm sure I could get it a fair bit lower, but that could cause an uncomfortable ride. And of course, 4WD =)

And TJ they're going for 1800 brand new on ebay!

Just bought a HDI r33 FMIC kit, from MTQ in Brisbane for $500. Was a little suss on the monsta kits and wanted to get something half decent.

Will be installing it tommorow with my mate, never done one before. Hopefully with the aid of this thread it won't be too much trouble.

Will also be installing Greddy profec B at the same time, looking forward to the outcome.

Will post pics hopefully tommorow or the next day (depending on how long it takes us ;-)

Cheers,

Dave-

howdy . notice your car has a hose coming out of the intake plumbing (the pipe before the j pipe) does your one go to the power steering pump like mine does? what did you connect it to after you put the fmic piping kit on?

Just wondering if most of you guys just blocked of this hose, like mike40sydney did in the pick below?

Or if you plumbed it back in somewhere else?

I'm guess thats the Actuator Hose.. on my setup it goes to my boost controller then another hose goes to my intercooler pipeing...

It's the hose that was on the original intercooler piping, on a nipple from the top piece coming out of the plenum. But my FMIC piping doesn't have that nipple. Should I be thinking about drilling a hole in the piping to attacth it??

Or just block it off?

FMIC install went well, I'm about to start the EBC install now so I will check the other threads on that.

CHeers, guys.

Pics will be up shortly

Ahh yes I see now, cheers. However your intercooler piping has a nipple drilled into it, and the pipe goes to the actuator. Where as the pipe that was atatched to my original cooler piping goes down to the powersteering pump or something down the front?

IMPORTD has a pic up of a feed from somwhere else further up the plenum, without a nipple from the cooler piping. Think I might try that.

Still not sure about this other line though?

HDI cooler kit

Ts203IVJ.jpg

had to cut about 25mm of the reo, and mounted on an angle it clears the oil cooler by about 4-5mm

Ts206azA.jpg

blocked off the vac hose that was from the nipple to the pwsteering pump, stilll not sure where to plumb it back in?

Ts2084ir.jpg

had to cut the standard front bar on both sides where the pipes entered the cooler, but nowhere else.

Ts208vK0.jpg

made a dodgy cold box out of the stock intercooler shroud, should work alright tho. (sorry to anyone that might have wanted it)

Ts20aQUr.jpg

Job done! Haven't yet decided wether I should cut the number plate section out to get more airflow or not?

Has anyone had any luck fitting a front mount to a S2 Stagea with a Dayz front bar, without cutting the reo bar??

Any help would be appreciated,

Model, Size, etc, would be great.

Thankyou in advance

I picked up an intercooler off a member from here in SA. I'm going to be buying a justjap piping kit and i was wondering if anyone knows what one it is that i use for a series 2 stag. Is it the 33 or the 34 kit.

Cheers

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
