I have just fitted a FMIC kit to my series 2. The kit is the standard cross over type that every one sells for R33 and R34.

I had to remove the windscreen washer bottle to fit the return line thru the chassis on the right hand side of the engine bay.

I assume others have had this problem and wanted to know where and how you re-mounted the bottle

i turned my bottle sideways darrin and had to cut it a little to make it all work i did cut a little deep into the bracket and ended up with a square hole lol but i siliconed it up and has been sweet pm your email addy and ill send pics

Darrin; good to see the Stag moving along now in mod-country :P

Go to your local Super-Cheap and pick up a universal washer bottle kit... a little bit of DIYing and you have yourself a new washer bottle setup. This is a mandatory modification on the R34s due to the size of the stock item (we haven't come across any that haven't had it done)

The "aftermarket" one I got is about 1.5L and sits snugly next to a full size battery (not the pissy little ones) so that should give you an idea ;)

Thanks

Thanks Stan

The Stagea bottle is not in the engine bay like a r34. It sits under the battery, just in front of the wheel, but the aftermarket botttle may still work if I can fit the factory bottle back in. I would prefer to keep the factory bottle with 2 waher motors, one for the front and one for the rear of the car

Ps The mods have really started. . . . more updates later

Darrin; the R34 bottle is in the same location as the Stagea ;) I did think about retro-fitting another motor onto the aftermarket bottle but found it unecessary. I don't have a rear wiper (removed) so figured it'd be pointless anyway :P

got any photos of the setup? also if you dont mind me asking how much did the kit set you back?

Looks like any other skyline install

The kit I used was Justjap's type 2 kit with larger end tanks than the cheaper type 1 kit

I bought it about 12 months ago for $499

I have fmic, and have my washer bottle it it's stock position, just the piping was made to bypass that area. Lucky it was custom made, and lucky I didnt have to pay for it, came with the beast when I bought it :woot:

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
