R34 Owners With Fmic!

[so_tred]

Ok, so I'm thinking ahead about what FMIC I'm going to get. I was originally thinking a Trust (Greddy) V-SPL because I didn't want to go cutting a hole in the battery tray as I'm pretty sure with this kit the piping from the left passes underneath the cooler and up into the bay.

Now I'm thinking that might not be such a good option because the piping will hang below my front bar (Nismo) and I just get up my driveway as it is with only a few mm to spare. Or will it not hang below?

I just want to know what FMIC people have got, and their opinions of it (pics if possible of piping passing below the cooler before going into the bay would be much appreciated )

If I decide to go the other route and cut a hole, will I have to relocate my battery into the boot?

Out of all that crap I only found a few useful posts specifically about 34's

I only want info on the R34 because obviously 33's have different standard front bars etc..and I can't really judge anything on a 33? Gah! I dunno..I just wanted different options

So far the ARC seems good, loops behind not underneath like the Trust?

why dont u just cut a hole? and why is that the r33 battery is in the boot and the r34 isnt?

[shnaped_second]

Yeah this topic has been covered several times, but as you can see in one of those posts is my 34 with the ARC cooler which im pretty happy with it, bolts up to the stock piping just need to attack a bit off the front bar

also the blitz kit works in the same fashion as the arc, but piping goes under the cooler it self and for memorey the core is a bit larger than the arc.

both great options tho.

good luck

im 99% sure the trust cooler you mention you have to cut where the battery tray is i reckon your thinkin blitz, i have blitz on my 32 there really good and in my case and i cant see your case being any different the bottom pipe sits higher than the bottom on the front bar.

also i have bottomed out to the shit house and cracked my front bar and havnt touched the cooler pipe.

havent got one scuff mark on it.

Don't really want to cut a hole because I don't want to have to relocate my battery & I do like the standard look of the pipes coming up the same way..

However one benefit which I'm thinking of doing the batter tray cutting is I'll have a spare cut where I could put some piping for a cold air induction..

The piping goes behind & not under? Just trying to figure out cause I've seen pictures with the tank end curling under.

I just put a ARC kit on my 34 and the fit is perfect the pipe loops behind not under so it doesn't hang any lower as for the core size its bigger than the hole in my bar anyway. Go buy a arc kit you wont regret it.

[gt-t_r34]

blitz goes under the cooler arc goes behind some how i can find the pictures of it thou.

but heres what the blitz on looks like.

dont r34s have a factory air snorkle? whats wrong with that?

[gt-t_r34]

heres a pic i found on here of the r34 with arc fmic

[so_tred]

I'm definitely liking all the good feedback for the ARC coolers & like the design alot.. Also like the fact that the core is a bit bigger than the Trust one..

Where did people source theirs from? I'm thinking Nengun..but I don't want it to get here not be the exact type I want..

They have a couple listed so I'm not sure which it is..

People that have the ARC kit, did the transmission cooler have to be remounted anywhere else or did it still fit behind?

[shnaped_second]

I got mine of a dealer called bt revolutions, transmission cooler? who has a slush box? lol no need for that sh*t 4 me

[Howie]

oo.. how muchie if you don't mind me asking shnaped_second?

[Abo Bob]

I moved my trans cooler but I have seen several installs where this was not done.

[so_tred]

Guess I'll just have to see when I go to fit the FMIC if the transmission cooler can stay where it is..if not, ah well..

Would also like to know how much you paid for the ARC shnaped_second..

[nsm034]

I got a blitz. Fitted perfect. No cutting except front bar.

[Howie]

Got pics of your blitz cooler bud?

[666DAN]

My one is setup like the blitz, I bought a generic 230x550x75mm core, then ran the pipe back under and to the factory location. Total cost $400 and the pipe is within the confines of the under-body plastic liner. I can only get 1/8th of it warm on a hot day, so definately not undersized either.

I've got blitz ones, you just have to mount the intercooler slightly higher to avoid hitting the pipe underneath, my bodykit is actually lower than the piping, so it'll scrape the bodykit long before it can hit the piping..

note that the blitz cooler have aluminium piping not as flashy as astainless, but light and does the work...
