This item is a brand new GENUINE ARC FMIC kit from japan. It arrived today and is still in all of its packaging as i only opened the box to make sure it was all there, in good condition and to take photos for this sale thread. I sold my R33 2 weeks ago so i no longer need it.

The kit uses ARC's MO73 intercooler core with a turnflow exit endtank. The advantage of using this setup is that all the piping can be run through the original holes on the passenger side of the car keeping this a very stealth and neat looking kit from inside the engine bay. It also negates the need to cut a hole in the driverside wheel well and run the "cold" pipe over the fan and radiator. On alot of the cheaper kits out there the "cold" pipe over the radiator setup can sometimes either sit too low and touch the fan which then requires trimming, or to high and fouls on the bonnet when shut. This kit has been engineered by ARC japan to be a 100% bolt on unit. Workmanship on the intercooler core looks to be 1st class.

All parts are included in this sale and if shipped, will all be packaged neatly and safely inside a plain box to reduce the risk of theft or curious eyes taking a peek inside and possibly damaging anything which insures you get the kit in 100% perfect condition.

Parts Included:

- ARC MO73 Intercooler core with turnflow endtank (470 x 260x 70)

- ARC Piping kit to suit S1 & S2 r33 GTS-t (3 pipes total)

- ARC Green High Quality Hose joiners x3

- Cyclone hose clamps x6

- Mounting Bolts

- Instruction Booklet which i havn't opened but it looks like it's in japanese :)

Installation of this kit is very straight forward. First step will be to take the front bar off and if you have enough skill to do that you will have enough skill to install the intercooler kit :yes: its that easy.

please contact me with any questions you may have,

thanks alot ELI

P.S. pics of the kit will be up tonight once i find my camera usb cable :P

Pics Done. sorry for quality, will put better ones up tommorrow when i have some light:)

these things are awesome....

personally dont have one (cos i'm not plannin on upgrading my turbo on my r33) but i can tell ya on my old r32 gtst i had an ARC sidemount. Just the design of them makes the world of difference.

I'm not too sure but i think the inlet is the left side and you'll notice that the air tubes are like flared out where they meet the tank... optimises flowability.

can't understand why this hasn't sold yet.

good luck with the sale anyway.

hey mate, when you mean the kits installation is straight forward, what do you mean? is it that easy? no cutting involved? no welding no nothing? i'm interested in it cuz every other kit seems to need work done, and its gonna cost to get someone to do it for me. how does it kit hang? do i have to drill bits into the chassis? or bar? does it matter what bar is used..every commen bout this kit seems to be good..but just dont know if its all true.

I got a Blitz LM which is almost the same. You may have to cut a little off your reo and move your horns. And if you may want to cut out the middle bit of your front bar which looks like a type-m style to get more air to the cooler. DIY, about 3-4hrs.

the kit uses holes that are on your car from the factory so definately no drilling is required, all bolts and mounts are also included. it comes with a booklet of instructions, i think they're in japanese but you should be able to go by illustrations to figure out what holes to use. as Far Tony said you may have to cut a little off your reo but im not 100% sure its neccessary as the core is a little smaller than your average cooler. as i said in the first post my car has been sold but it was to a friend so i might be able to get him over so i can take some photos of where to mount the cooler. can't promise anything though.

any other questions or need more pics just let me know

cheers, eli

    • Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.
    • Has anyone used > https://performancecoating.com.au/  
    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
