hi all,

ok looking at gettin a FMIC not sure on the exact size and all but wont be to huge but wont be tiny...

basically can i use the stock S2 R33 front bar i have on my car and put the INTERCOOLER behind it....jus have to chop out the few 'fins' that sit on the plastic part of the bar or whatever they are called....?

or should i and is it best to change the front bar for an after market one...

i like the fact of having the fog/driving lights and indicators at the front.....cos i really like the stock front bar,....

any advice or experiences would be welcome...

Cheers

Matt

they would have trimmed it a tiny bit. unless maybe you dont have the aircon thermo fan anymore. i did mine, and trimmed the smallest amount off the bottom of the reo (s1). still looks stock.

$200 install is really cheap. if i had that choice, i might have taken it :) but i'm glad i did it myself.

lol dont trim to much reo bar off, if you get defected you will need to have it re-enforced or replaced! i have a s2 and put a cooling pro kit in it and had to trim a lot of the front bumper off to fit it. pm me if you or anyone wants pics as i have the whole process photographed

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
