Mounting Front Mount Intercooler

[lukits01]

Hey Im about to buy a FMIC kit (TRUST V-SPL)

Im just wondering what kind of problems would there be when mounting it?

beside the usual front bumper modification

my car is an auto I was told that this kit wont fit an auto skyline?

wat does the intercooler have to do with my transmission?

My car is a R33 GTS-T series 2 Auto

(damn that sludge box)

[strutto]

Don't know if this is the particular problem but auto 33 skylines have a transmission cooler on the drivers side in front of the radiator...

whoever told u it wont fit bullshitted you.

I've got pics from when I installed my VSPL a few months ago.

PM me if you want to see the pics of whats involved?

[lukits01]

thanks for the pics shane

should be really helpful

My front bumper is series 2

so there's only 4 bolts to undo?

Do you have to take off the grille to get to the bolts?

lukits have you ordered it yet?

if you're getting a trust v-spl intercooler kit you'll have to cut a hole for the piping to pass through into the engine bay on drivers side. ask SeriesIIGTST he has a S2 and installed his himself. I'm thinking about doing the same...

Like bOO5t said lukits, if you have any questions about the install into a series2 skyline, feel free to ask me any questions. Mine is a manual so i have no idea about the transmission cooler for the auto. I unfortunely was without my digicam when i did the install so can't show you exactly what i did.

Basically, you will need to grind away little bits of the inside of the bumper support to make the cooler fit at the top. You will also have to drill the hole in your inside front driver's guard to get the piping through to the engine bay from the outlet of the cooler. Everything else should bolt in. You don't HAVE to remove your grill but for the simple manner of a few bolts, it will make getting to the bolt to "hang" your cooler off considerably easier.

If you have the stock S2 front bar then you will need to get a spoiler place to grind it away around the middle section and the two lower intakes to fit the cooler and pipework respectively. If you want, there's a pic of my car in the galleries and you can see where i cut the front bar to fit the pipework.

Other than that, it's a great kit/cooler. Good luck!!

As bOO5t said, feel free to ask me any questions about what bar modification needs to be done. My car is a manual though so I couldn't tell you anything about whether an auto transmission cooler will get in the way. Good luck with the purchase.

I think lukits01 has pretty much got it done.

Its an easy job with the right tools and a mate to help.

You can see some pics of whats involved with the VSPL here
