Hey wolverine, how much was the FMIC, and did you put it in yourself or get them to install it? Looks like a nice, neat job, too.
the guys at plazmaman installed it and they used this as a test mule for a kit they will offer.

the price i paid may not relate to the retail cost for the kit since i was the first one.

i have a plazmaman FMIC on my R33 and i found the service and "care factor" very high with plazmaman after i ran into some difficulties installing the kit (not due to any fault of the kit). the patience of oyay & alex and their desire to ensure i was completely happy should be used as a model by every other workshop.

in addition, i asked them to look at making a replacement pipe from the afm to the turbo although if looks to be a complex pipe that might have too high a cost to go into any production unless there is enough demand from skyline/stagea owners.

i imagine the kit is available if anyone is looking for an alternative to the other kits on the market.

Found the kit HERE.

Sorry to say dude, but for

Price: $2,095.00

I say move on.

For me to custom fit, supply a GTR cooler, supply stainless pipes, custom get the pipes made and fitted was only $1250, and thats with a core that i KNOW flows 300rwkw.

As above, Greddy/TRUST kits are ~1200 delivered too. I think he replaced that upper pipe for no reason either, why replace something that is stock when its working perfectly.

I dont deny the quality of the kits though, they look really marvelous.

thanks AMS, their workmanship is excellent. their cores are extremely efficient. they spent a long time with the R&D getting the internal fin design spot on to provide high rates of cooling up to the point of pressure drop. at the HP levels i hope to be getting it is overkill but i know it will work and that leaves squeezing the maximum performance out of the other parts the next thing to worry about.

    • Por qué no los dos? Body colour red with black stripes down centre, onto bonnet and bootlid.
    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
