hey guys,

just wondering if anyone has had success fitting a GReddy intercooler kit with a type m front bar (r33),

ive been looking at the bar and it looks like a fair piece of the center section will need to be removed for the intercooler to receive enough air. (i can't recall the excact specs of the coolers size as im picking it up in a couple of days, but i know it's pretty big lol)

cheers.

Yep I've installed the Greddy FMIC into a S2 R33, you will need to cut the end of the chassis rail a little and the fins from the middle of the front bar...

Check out images, I am going to take my front bar off again and cut the bar a bit more so I can fit in some black mesh to protect and hide the IC.

oh yeah you also need to cut into the wall of the engine bay for piping. A metal hole saw does it easy I finished it off with some u channel rubber to cover the edge of the metal. And you can probably still use the stock washer bottle instead of the smaller greddy one...

hey 75coupe, thanks for the info, looks like a nice, snug fit.Nice rims too.

What are the dimensions of the GReddy fmic?

I have fitted a fmic, measuring 600x300x76, but did not need to tough the chasis rails; i am a little concerned that you are willing to cut into the rails :yes:

Anyway, on a S1 you will need to remove the centre part of the reo, but keep everything else (ie: top support and the actual supports that slide onto the rails). I cut out the middle part of the bar, to allow more airflow to the fmic. I then got the cut-out holes plastic welded, to make it look neat and factory, this also requires you to paint the bar.

"i am a little concerned that you are willing to cut into the rails"

you are only cutting a small bit off the end definitely nothing structural...

it even shows you in the greddy instructions to do it...

if ur in vic and get defected...u will wish u didn't.

I have fitted the same size cooler and had to do the same as Al...he is on the money.

hmmm, well I sorta thought no one would notice the rear tyre width, i kinda digitally edited them a little larger oops maybe alittle too much but it looks cool. I only run 265s on back

All the the graphics are real though...

The piece I cut of the end of the chassis rail was like 1/2 an inch if that, tiny.... no one would even notice it... definitely not affe3ct strength as it didn't even complete the square tube if ya know what I mean

265 is still wide enough man. dont be shy, ur still big enough.

What about ya front blinkers, are they edited?? If not, did you do that yourself?

I have seen clear indicators around for the S2 indicators but this image has been doctored...

If you can get the fog light lens's and just replace the orange lens and use an orange globe instead.... it's just hard to locate the lens by itself... if anyone knows where to get em that would be cool...

you can always just use some tint in a can to make them different to the fogs...

Al, your rims are mint, what are they? how much they set you back? if you dont mind me askin :D

Thanks buddy!

They are cheapy rims :w00t: Lenso Muse 19 x 8, custom powder coated to the charcol colour.

Bought rims about 4+yrs ago, at that time the costed me $3600 with tyres (Hankook K104). Got a pretty good deal, considering 19's weren't as popular then as they are now.

These rims can be found for about $1200 second hand, i've seen them for sale here (sau) numerous times, so keep an eye out.

75coupe: Sorry to inadvertantly catch you out :), just looked soooo tough.

Here is a pic of my car with 335 tyres fitted, and it is not a photo chop :)

I like to call it: Tonka Spec

Those rims belong to my mate's car:

    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
    • Shit. Starting to look like a car again.
