Hey folks, i need some opinions on concerning FMIC's.

My friend owns a Gts-t R32, and is in the market for a FMIC

we did some research into the Blitz LM series intercooler(600x300x76), and read some good reviews, and was going to buy it....

but we recently visited 'Fussys Motorsports' in Sydney to ask if this cooler was any good, and Tan the owner of the joint told us that it was cr*p!!..

he told us that it wasnt as good as the ones he has(australian made ones same size but thicker core)..

so now we're kinda lost, !dont know which FMIC to buy?!?!?

what do you guys recommend to get??

australian ones or japanese delivered??blitz, hks, trust,etc..

Blitz LM Intercooler kit $1800 fitted

Fussys intercoller kit $1800 fitted as well..

open opinionz plz!! thaNks.. :D

bahaha of course hes going to say that... he wants u to spend ur money on his inferior one :D

dude... companies like HKS and BLITZ and TRUST spend megga bucks developing and researching these things... i would go for something like what they have to offer rather than some guy whos hacked a truck intercooler to bits and slapped together some end tanks... yeah they might still be good but whos to say theyre better? can he prove it? has he done major testing to show how uch better his are? i doubt it

even something like a GTR cooler which has pretty much the same dimensions u mentioned if u can get ur hands on one will do the trick quite well.

That's what i was gonna say.:D

For sure anything japanese will have a better/higher overall quality then anything you can buy locally made.

Thats why my HKS type-s i/c is arriving in a few weeks:p

I paid $1595 for my 600x300x70 'cooler made by Mick's Metalcraft. They've done many of the Horsepower Heros cars at Summernats.

Ive been impressed with it so far (i havent wound any boost yet).

Install it yourself - you learn a tonne about ya car while doing it.

Unique Autosports sell them.... www.nismo.com.au

definately agree with doing ur own install and learning from it... i love pulling my car to bits and doing stuff myself even tho i really dont have any clue what im doing :(

btw i was meant to post a link in my second post to a guy selling a GTR cooler for 750ono :D would have made more sense that way.

plus i mean... its desinged for a GTR so its made by nissan... it must be good ;)

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
