Lf Good R33 Front Mount

Rough indication on how much you WILL need to cut on a S2 to fit a Blitz LM/CS.

As you can see i cut it fairly tight so its less obvious. Absolute minimum required.

Is the reo the only part that needs trimming? Did you have to trim anything off of the chassis rails?

I am also interested in this and what people generally use to do the trimming?

Ideally, a wafer cutter.

No you dont need to touch the chassy rails. You do need to trim the bumper though.

I used an angle grinder.

Guy WHY CUT IT OFF , i fitted one to my Stagea,I just FOLD IT UP ,so you still keep all metal there + if you do sell you can fold back & weld up with out messing REO BAR ,

Cheer`s Chuckie,

It will still fail.

And its alot easier to spot a giant fold covered in tape than it is to see one thats been neatly trimmed flat and painted to match.

Thanks guys, will give it a go hopefully next weekend

Anyone fitted one of the blitz coolers to a s1 or s1.5 R33?

Tried mine today and unless I mounted it incorrectly (I have no instructions) I will need to take a 50mm deep section out of the reo, which I wouldn't exactly call a trim or sweet FA

Sorry to dig up an oldish thread... just wondering are the blitz intercoolers made in japan? and does anybody with a blitz intercooler have a pic of the engine bay, just curious to see the piping.

[HEKT1K]

Yes they are.

I have a Blitz CS which retains the factory piping, so the engine bay looks IDENTICAL

[Luke_GTS-T]

awesome.. so no chrome sh!t in the engine bay?

Hey guys,

Another relevant question to this thread;

I just installed my JJR Stealth cooler to my S1 R33, the reo needs the most minor of trims which is great.

My issue is that the parkers in my M spec bar foul the end tank of the cooler on the drivers side. I have the cooler mounted as far back as i possibly can.. The pipping all lined up perfect this way also. The top of the cooler is where it fouls, I have considered mounting it lower also yet this honestly wont help..

Has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks,

Yup i had that issue big time.

My front bar is slightly different than the run of the mill R33 so i had to take drastic measures with mine.

This is what the Drivers side looks like, unmolested.

And heres my molestation of the passengers side to clear the piping.

As you can see i had to remove nearly all of the black plastic, and pull the brass pins from the plug itself and cut it down flush so i could bend them out of the way for my spade terminals to push on..

There was no other way to make it work for me haha.

Doesnt look that shit hot, but it works, and i havnt had a problem with it in over a year

The good thing is, i believe most of the R33's share the same round orange indicator. So the housing shouldnt be hard to locate if you return to stock for selling etc.

Good luck!

[gotRICE?]

Wait i just re read your post and realized you were talking about an S1, and the end tanks rather than pipework. Lol Sorry dude, not enough sleep...

Either way.. thats an option grind grind grind! Cut cut cut!

You just need to take your time and think things through
