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

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. :(

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
