the new just jap kit is bolt on.. my ass it is..

on the other hand the hybrid kit is easier.

Today Chris and i set to work on fitting a just jap FMIC to his 1993 R33 S1 which i can safely say is one of the best S1 ive seen!.

Just Jap $345 FMIC kit

HKS T piece

76mm hole saw

angle grinder

first off

removing the Front bar. due to having a few extra hidden clips took a bit longer than expected..

removing the SMIC and pipping.

removing the front support.

then getting stuck as he had no instructions.. so i went searching on sau and found nothing.. thanks..

decided to wing it :laugh: and dummy fitted the cooler core. mounted on the bottom brackets.

dummy fit the front support. cut to fit.. fit then removed to cut for top brackets.

fit. then removed to drill new bracket holes.. would be nice if they told us..

then refit. used spacers..

fit LHS pipping.

drilled 76mm hole with tools supplied by TAFE QLD :no:

drilled one more. i did use R33S2 diagram thanks mate.. helpful seeing i had no instructions.

fit pipping. tightened.

start up.. the top pipe touched the fan. so re adjusted properly..

start perfect :down:

sprayed cut body with antirust.

attempted to fit front bar.

hacked rear of bar.

indicators wer in the way so hacked that.then resealed it with duck tape properly not dodgy like shane would.

fitted to front bar.

splash guards on. inner guards on.

retensioned all bolts, clamps and brackets. fitted all clamps to face the same way. to look pro..

went for a test drive..

saw 14PSI.. then had to plumb in the intercooler line.. ther is no nipple so i cut the vac line from TB and inserted a HKS T piece (HKS POWAH AND SPORTS). hooked up to solenoid and boost is at 9ish PSI.

had to rebend the top pipe to suit, rethread a clamp.

chris is happy with his FMIC i got paid and the world is at piece.. and he scored a HKS part..

your more than welcome chris and i hope u enjoy your stay on this forum. if u need anymore work im happy to do some more. but no more custom cutting.. and ill charge by the hour.. due to extra cutting it took around 4 hours.. :ninja: wher as the hybrid took me 2-3??

some happy shots taken by chris

thanks chris and thanks sau

mark.

that took u 4 hours :huh:

i woulda looked at it, opened a beer, and said go elsewhere :)

as if im dodgy, says the man who uses bleed valves as a boost 'controller' :(

i still like manually controlling boost over electric.. something bout not having electronics that run on copper wires keeping ur car from hitting 45psi..

in addition to that, did u put rubber around the hole u cut for the cooler pipe?

ahaha NO shane i didnt.. want to knw why...? i cut a hole big enough to accomodate the cooler pipe with room to spare.. and left nothing touching anything..

i left 2mm gap from thermo to core, 3mm from rad fan without cutting it.. skills yo..

quite a fun day..

if u want ill build ur GTR for u.. ;) ...(the garden ornament)

Yep, I fitted my Hybrid FMIC Kit a couple weeks ago and was a piece of piss sept shaping the fan, i didnt expect that.

hey ryan

yeah i found the hybrid easier than the just jap.. the just jap which we used had too much bracket bending and no instructions.. but didnt need to shape and cut the fan as she clears it nicely.. 2-3mm.. only cause i did bend the top pipe mounting bracket to fit nicely. all in all looks professionaly done and keeps chris happy.. and looks stock too :)

put pics up of ur car chris.. how how its hidden nicely :(

What did you charge to install the FMIC Mark, I need my kit installed :D

he charged a very fair price.. i bought some of the tools and i was the lacky for the day ( did the easy side of the FMIC and helped where needed)

and yeah scored a fully sick HKS part...

Ill post some pics up of the baby once i have washed her.. shes pretty damn dirty atm.

But yeah id say it would be a solid 3-4 hour job ( take time off from us having a bit of a break and figuring out what to do etc)

It will hit.... I give you one week...

dont be like that..im sure it will be fine ;)

im keen to see how much extra powa i got now.. all i need is an exhuast system and the thing is breathing aftermarket style :D

It will hit.... I give you one week...

i doubt that. i fastened it with 10mm bracket and lock nut. and the clamps are super tight.

ok col if it doesnt touch within a week u shout me dinner one tuesday night lol.. :D

yeah i didnt charge much as thought it was similar to hybrid but wasnt. but not one to go back on my word so all good. PM me if u want to get one fitted.. ;)

im off to drags now in the R34.. ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

Gotta be careful bending those brackets that are welded to ally, I hope you held the bracket in a vice or something and bent after that.. whoever installed the fmic kit in my car didn't brace the bracket before bending and now the weld is starting to crack :wave: I have since unbolted the bracket in an attempt to slowdown the cracking O_o

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
