Selling an ARC turn flow intercooler for a GTST R33 Series 1 or 2.

Will not need to cut into body work so you won't risk defects to the car. You only need to shave off abit of the air con fan housing. Bolts on directly

I am selling the intercooler used but in great condition. No bent fins.

PRICE: $700

Location: Toowoomba

Payment: COD, Can post but postage to be paid by buyer. Brisbane / Gold Coast buyers, I can deliver...

Throw me an offer.

hey does it come with the bolts n stuff to bolt onto the car

To bolt onto the car, there are 3 points to attach:

1 uses the nut that holds the bonet latch. Undo and attach!!!

2 more at the bottom of the intercooler. Its just a 10 mm nut that will be provided. All the connecting pieces that holds the pipes together are provided.

Buy, plug and play baby

You only need to shave off abit of the air con fan housing

Any more details / pics of this?

I've been looking at fitting a Blitz LM FMIC to my car at the moment, and there's no way it's gonna clear the aircon fan housing and I don't feel real comfortable cutting into it.

I am quite confident that this FMIC will be able to carry that amount of power you are trying to achieve, and even more........

JRM Any more details / pics of this?

JRM: I think no matter how you go, you will need to shave off a bit of the housing. What I did to my car was just shave off part of the 'wing' that is sticking out of the fan housing. It won't throw the fan out of whack or anything. The more important bit is that the reo bar does not need much modification or cutting into.... What sort of pics do you want?

To the both of you, check out the link. I have done this myself too and its dead easy.

PS. check the first pic below item no. 8 and how the bit of air con fan housing needs to be shaved. Thats all in it....

The FMIC I am selling is exactly the same

Wow. Just wow, okay - I just learnt something.

The R33 fan is *totally* different to the R34 fan. The R34 fan the middle part has a plug and sticks *way* out from the housing - like maybe a good inch out. That's what the FMIC I'm trying to fit is hitting on. If ARC needs trimming on this fan, then I reckon any FMIC would.... bugger! Oh well, there goes my thought that maybe I could get rid of the Blitz and try an ARC :D

Like I said mate, throw me an offer. Get it while its hot!!!

It took me 2 days at first because I didn't have all the tools, First time I worked on a car and it took some time to find all the nuts and bolts. But it only took me 3 hours to remove the FMIC.

i got a blitz on my R34. didnt have any problems with it clearing the fan. although it is very close.

edit... when you got the kit there should have been 2 brackets for the top of the cooler one for r33 and one for r34

Did you trim your reo tho?

I've seen a few pics of r33 and r34 now - and their fans seems to be nothing like mine; The motor on my fan sits heaps further out ..

Reply: I am not sure whether the 33s and 34s have the same principles and I don't doubt you if the blitz doesn't require you trimming anything. ARCs usually have thicker cores isn't it??? As for this particular one that I got, all the brackets are welded to the FMIC. So I am not sure whether it is able to fit a 34

Reply: I did trim my reo alittle bit too. Not much, just nip it where the FMIC meets, angle grinder it about 5 mils, and whack the hell out of it to bend that bit of reo. If you ever take the FMIC out like me, just whack that bit back to its original position.

As to your fan, it sounds like an aftermarket type fan?

Again guys, throw me an offer...... I was real happy with it, nothing wrong with this particular one, just want to sell it as I will not be upgrading my car any more.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
