I'm looking for a FMIC for my stagea rs4, I 've come across a couple of r33 FMIC's on sale ....both the r33 and stagea run the same rb25det ...so my question is will the piping for the FMIC be a direct bolt on affair on the stagea?

Sorry guys. ..im sure there must be a thread on this somewhere but I need a quick anwser so I can place a bid on the IC.

if it is one of these link then it will fit well, I think R33 kits do fit but all are different and fitting a front mount ususally means some small modifications to make it fit... The kit above has been designed for the Stagea so it would no doubt fit better than an R33 kit.

Hope that helps.

Hi EGA4it ...did you have to cut any holes or move any bits to get the piping in place? looks like you got a custom front bar there....dunno if the cooler will fit snugly with the standard bar in place ...399 is cheap tho...well worth considering.

I bought an R33 ARC crossflow cooler kit for mine and i did not have to cut any holes or chop any of the reinforcement bar at all the only thing that needed s little bit of modification was the front bar, but what i did cut out of it you cant see anyway except for the part where the number plate was but that was my decision it didnt need to be chopped for it to fit

Hey Andy, you did an awesome job at installing the kit.

Definately one of the neatest installs I've seen.

P.S do you mind if I use some of your pictures?

P.P.S the kits are now $349 + freight for SAU and NS.com users :(

I run gktech from a small office (aka my bedroom), I purchase by the container load and employ 0 (zero) people.

My expense aren't that great and I work on quite low margins, but work on quantity.

I think the main difference between myself and alot of these eBay sellers that can't speak english is that I concentrate on quality as I use alot of this stuff on my own cars.

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
