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!

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.

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.

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.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      They also make them with the motor mounted on the side

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just be warned that that turbo will not be a direct re-fit to the car. The exhaust housing is, of course, in the same place. It has to be - it's bolted to the exhaust manifold. So the dump will fit up. But the centre housing is not as long, so the comp housing will move backwards. This will affect both the turbo inlet and the outlet. There is fab work that needs to be done. Yes. it has one, it should have one. Paper gasket.

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      I only recently purchased the vehicle, it came with the flex setup but the current tune is e85 only, which is why im wanting to get the tune redone to enable a mixture.  First i need to get the exhaust redone tho. I was thinking of getting a varex muffler but it sems they dont fit well in the 33 (hang low because of the valve mechanism which sticks out on top) and generally dont sound good. So that leaves me with redoing the entire exhaust (more resonators and mufflers) so its not a menace when i come and go from home, and then have the aes dump valve somewhere along the line to really open it up. I was thinking of having it before the cat but after seeing how insanely loud it will be (on a vl turbo) im thinking of putting it more towards the rear of the car, after one of the resonators.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      At this point I'm just 'hoping' it's the turbo seals. I did speak to someone who said it's normal for these turbos to have a bit of axial play? Not gonna lie I've never checked a turbo for axial play before but you could hear it tapping a bit as I moved it back and forth. Surely that's too much? My theory is (could be completely wrong), bad axial play, worn bearings, bad seals, oil into dump/compressor side, burns in exhaust = blue smoke. On a timing belt related note, my crank pulley was missing that front plate that sits in front of the timing belt. It's that metal round plate. It did have the rear one, and the woodruff keys are in the crank which was nice. Can anyone confirm if the NEO det engine has a front plate, im sure it would to protect the front of the timing belt or something. Water pumps...the pump I got was an NPW (yes grill me if I should've got a genuine one lol). It has a smooth mating surface, kit came with a pretty pathetic looking paper gasket. Do I need to use any RTV or just trust the gasket will work because its a smooth mating surface? Cheers legends have a good Easter break!
