Hi,

Ive finally decided FMIC is the only way.. Much to my disappointment.

Is it true the above can be installed without hacking reinforcement? ill sacrifice the front bumper is necessary (ie replace if need be)...

Reason is, it is imperative the car can be returned to factory spec without evidence of a hack job.

Any others to speak of ? What about the stealth kits from JustJap?

Anyone who genuinely knows its much appreciated, id hate to go buy one and be informed its necessary to perform the above. As it simply wont happen...

Cheers in advance.

Matt

Search with "return flow" or similar

There are dozens of topics, some of which even have pics/diagrams of installs and the success and/or issues encountered.

There is almost one every fortnight

I searched it didnt answer the question (perhaps i didnt search specifically as you have recommended, sorry mate my bad the crystal ball is out of order, return flow? means shit to me i wouldnt even know to attempt it) thus i wouldnt bother asking. Make sense?

Regardless is it some major hardship to ignore the thread if its uninteresting. Whose balls am i breaking exactly?

Some arent here to out do each other with technical prowess. How much hasnt been covered already on maybe half a dozen cars? ....

no one is focring you to change, but its certainly a good idea

many have fitted the blitz return pipe style cooler kit without hacking etc

as r31nismoid has posted, do a search on the blitz kit

from memory dezz in victoria fitted one, he might be able to offer advice if you can't find any info

i have the justjap return flow and as the others, had to cut the reo.

i dont really see you being able to get away with a front mount without having to cut the reo.

if you want to make sure you can return it to standard, buy a spare reo from a wrecking line and save it for when its needed.

You don't have to cut the whole cross member of the reo! although it will allow for much better airflow to your cooler.

You do how ever have to notch out a section at each end of your reo (basically where the end tanks are) the curvature of the reo is to harsh and will hit your end tanks before reaching the mount points. (Speaking from a Series 1 r33 point of view)

If you really don't want to touch a thing on your reo then the blitz is not going to work.. As already mentioned the ARC will but i don't think its actually made anymore?!?! and justjap sell a cheapy which im sure is perfectly fine unless your chasing mega power.

Cheers

This is mine. The MINIMUM amount that needs to be cut to fit a Blitz LM to a S2 R33.

Reason i emphasize Minimum, is this:

P9110129Medium.jpg

It took hours to get it to fit that tight. Makes it less obvious. Painted black, 99% of people wouldnt even notice/know.

R31 knows what hes talking about and gives great advice. No need to speak like that. He is right, i have posted these pics at least 4 times now.

"return flow" just means that the air returns back to the stock SMIC piping more or less.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
