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 ;)

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
