Thats the Blitz LM cooler right? Is the ARC the only other one like this?

Its a Chinese copy that Just Jap sell called 'Cooling Pro'

Blitz make an LM series, ARC also make a series of return flow and HKS also made one a few years back

Blitz all the way!! Fits like a glove

Don't fall for those cheep imitations. Pay peanut get monkey.

Im gonna go ahead and suggest you possibly used the wrong bracket? I think they come with 33 and 34 brackets.

As Nizmo_freek has the same fromt bar and same Blitz LM and his one doesnt show the return bar. Looks hot!

Maybe a monkey installed yours? :P Te he :D

OR, is it the angle of the photo? They are a little different....

Even so, looks MUCH better than the Cooling pro, there must be an easy fix for getting it lower!

Should have saved $350 and bought an R34 SMIC.

i DID have the r34 smic installed but i wanted more power than the smic is rated at.

to be honest with u guys, i would recommend that other people who are thinking of getting one to really save up that little bit extra for a product that fits easy with no fuss. reason i didn't was because i am tight on money and to save up for a decent kit will take me months haha (i blame my girlfriends collection of tiffany jewellery!). as for the height - i COULD make a new hole down the bar a little and it would have sitted alot lower making it look like the blitz kits BUT i am not TOO sure if i should be drilling new holes. plus, i just thought of it, but the pipes may not reach up to the stock pipe work anyways.

haha it is not the angle of the picture, it sits quite high as i have installed many other fmic(s) on other cars and they sit very low and again the kits i have fitted were pricey ones. to lower the core i would have to drill an extra hole down the bar but i am a little worried the pipes may not reach my stock piping if i do so but maybe i will try again over the weekend.

I wasnt talking about yours! Thats what the two photos are for LOL they are both Blitz. :(

We already established that the Stealth one just sits rediculously high on an S2 front.

Agreed tho, lowering it would be pointless as the pipes wouldnt reach. Still. Alot better than the R34 SMIC like mine, and your old one!

Just the photo angle. You sheep f**ker

I just bought a cooling pro type 2 normal cooler kit, and was told 33 and 34 kits are the same. me and my mate are stumped as to where the bracket connects cooler to body :S good luck lowering yours!

Uncalled for?

Just seen some other photos, and its not the angle.

Did you know aussie has more sheep per capita than NZ? :P

Nope its not the angle, that 1st r33 has the cooler in the correct place by the looks of it, i just cut my bumper alot differently to his.

Instead of cutting the bottom part of the bumper (i have circled which part i mean in the pic bellow) to far foward i left alot of it on there, i barely even cut that part down that much, so that bottom part of my front bumper actually slips right in between the bottom of the cooler and the bottom pipe, which is why you cant see it ,unlike the r33 below were they have cut a bit to much off the bumper.

lol crofte is just frustrated he turned his inter cooler return pipe into a bull bar haha

if i am on the right track that you mean the bracket on top of the core, then it actually uses the existing bolt right under your latch to open the hood. also, if your core is a similar design to mine, you will also have two brackets on the bottom of the core which i did not use as they did not reach my body even with the extra brackets they gave. never done an r34 so maybe they have provisions for it or some other model car may. your fmic will not bend under high winds due to the lack of support at the bottom of your core as it should be sitting snuggly behind your intrusion bar which will prevent it from tilting and if you have guessed, ultimately breaking the bracket on top of the core.

just an update!

i finally had the time to lower my front mount and by the end of it i must admit i am quite happy with the result. this must be the most fiddely component i have ever installed. for all those of you with a keen eye, yes it is off centre but it was not possible to make a hole on the bonnet latch bracket due to width constraints. another note: GOD DAMN highway way driving is really damaging my bumper.

lol at the 2 sheep f*kers ahving a crack at eachother, i think these cooler kits are more hassle

than there worth... just save the little bit extra, bg deal if u have to wait maybe a month at least it will be centered an staight with little to no hassles..

  • 2 weeks later...

As far as i heard and seen these kits are fine for the people with series 1 bumpers... Series 2 may require a bit of fiddling.

Anyway ive ordered one for my series 1.5.. lucky i got the series 1 front bumper so it should install with ease.

Ill let you guys know how it goes.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
