Hi,

I have searched the Tutorial and DIY section but cant find anything on FMIC installations for series 2 r33's. Who has done this and do you have a writen up guide to do it properly. I will end up trying to install it anyway but a bit of guidence would be great.

Cheers

do you know the basics of how cooler pipes work? and where they are suppose to go?

or do you want the DIY to get to the pipes and learning how to take them off/on?

lastly is it a return style or hybrid style cooler?

if you were to install it yourself and have no prior mechanical experience like I did

I'd suggest you start 1st thing on Saturday morning as it took me the whole weekend

to put it on without a circular drill to make the hole for the driver side piping. It's hammer time

i'm sure there's a tutorial in the diy section, with pics. S1 and S2 are the same as far as the install. the reo may be slightly different but that has little effect.

here's an install manual for the hybrid style coolers. it shows you the basic steps. its really not that hard.

Hybrid, I will have no issues taking the stock cooler off i will need help though with where the new piping is meant to go from the plenium down past the radiator on the drivers side. Is there fabrication required, such as metal cutting that will require electrical tools? or is it fairly straight forward just need a little persistance when shaping where the piping goes?

    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
    • It just depends if you're like me with a high level of OCD for doing something like hardlines, and highly critical of the little things, and then bugger all patience to get it how my brain pictures it
    • More than happy with the colour match Talking to the painter he recommended to give the top a few weeks for the paint to 100% cure prior to sealing it with the ceramic stuff Also, because why not..... I have a fancy pants Fluidampr harmonic balancer on order, the 2.5 engine uses the OEM 2.0 balancer off the old motor as the 2.5 balancer is a larger unit and doesn't fit clearance wise, which, because the two engines have different harmonics, isn't optimal, the OEM balancer does the job, but as the gear driven balancer in the bottom end is removed to fit a RWD application there is slightly more vibration, the Fluidampr helps with the harmonics that the gear driven balancer once took care of,  basically makes life easier on the oil pump and bearings when thrashing it around Hopefully the weather gets better soon because I'm keen for some cruising around, and currently, with the winds and storms we are getting, the amount of detritus being blown around from trees on the road isn't something I want to be driving around in
