Well i said i would post up some pics when i received the blitz lm fmic and got it all fitted so here they are, im very happy with it, was very easy to fit, everything bolted up perfect, had to cut the bottom of the reo bar a tiny bit but didnt even have to relocate the horns, the hardest part was cutting the front bumper, i wanted to get the bumper sitting flush with the cooler so it would get maxium airflow (if it had gaps around the cooler some of the air would obviously escape around that area instead of going through the cooler) this took lots and lots of cutting and trial fitting but in the end i think it looks great, and the best part is you cant see the pipe running underneath the cooler which i was concernd about.

Thanks to eveyone that took the time to read my thread and give me some advice,tips and post up pics, your help was awsome :)

Heres the pics:

thats nice!!!! how much boost u running?? is it still running off the stock ecu?? hows the car feel now???

Cheers :stupid:, its still running the standard boost so around 9psi thanks to the exhaust (still need to get a dump/front pipe) ,and yes still running the stock ecu, the car seems to feel a little quicker in the midrange and up high but not by much,i can feel more lag when i hit the next gear but its nothing to complain about, it does seem alot better on hot days ,the car used to feel very sluggish when it was hot so i am very pleased with it :happy:

That's heaps nice mate.. mind if I ask how much it set you back?

It cost me $1135 nzd deleivered from nengun, that will probally sound very expensive comapred to the cheaper chinese made kits but in my opinion it was worth it!

Thanks for the comments :stupid:

i want to stick one of these on my stagea,(anyone got one on there stagea)not real keen on cutting anything & i'm lead to believe you can use existing piping holes & with a dayz bar hopefully no chopping there either.

Just get a Hybrid off EBay for $600-700 and put this mess behind you... Or you could get a trust kit off the trader section. I hear they are quite fantastic

hardly im a dealer for both and the BLITZ is a better kit than the trust and hybrid, both those kit reheat the piping as it crosses the radiator and they also have noticeably more throttle lag than the blitz. We also see lower intake temps with the blitz for those reasons.

Sorry to bring up a thread from so long ago but im about to install one of these kits real soon on my series 1 r33

I've found plenty of peoples pics of there intercoolers mounted but i would love to see how much or preferably how little people have had to chop up there series 1 reo bars.

and what also seems very odd is i would asume most of you have used the supplied brackets yet many of the coolers are sitting much higher / lower on certain peoples cars. (how obvious the return pipe underneither is)

you cant see the return pipe if fitted correctley. full rrp is $1499 @ autobarn but shop around. Auto-concepts is the new AUSTRALIAN distributor and will match prices.

Buying ones not a prob i've already scored a new kit for $950 but im just trying to get myself sorted for the install whilst i wait for its arrival from japan.... was a really silly time of year to expect something to internationally frieghted... but the exchange rate was good at the time.

like I posted before im real keen on seeing how people have gone about moding the reo bar. for instance has it just been the lower section removed or has the very top needed to have a section notched out etc etc. Im certainlly sure that there are a hell of a lot of ppl on here who have just removed there reo all together which really doesnt flick my switch. I still want to have some crash protection and kind of like my front bar sitting flush with the lights :thumbsup:

I did mine in a day. You need to cut away about 20 mm from the underside of the reo bar. You cut both sides of the bar, making a strait edge instead of a concave. You need a grinder. As for the front bar, use a Dremel multi pro to cut out all other platic away. Measure once cut twice. :thumbsup:. You may need help to make it easier. Good cooler overall.

i used to have the blitz lm kit on my 33 gtst s2 :thumbsup: ive got a reo bar pre-chopped and ready to go if u want :) ??

im in melb 2

obviously there were differences in front bar design between series 1 and 2 but considering we are talking about a reo that has been chopped up a bit would a s2 reo work on my s1 ppl? i guess as long as the bolt on points didnt change on the chassis rails and the front bar curve wasnt to far difference this might work out?

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
