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.

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.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
