Pictures Of Fmic With Stock Front Bar R33 S1.

[r33canada]

i was just wondering how many of you have thrown a front mount on there r33 but still using the series 1 front bar.

not series 1.5 im looking for s1.

id love to see some pictures and details on how difficult it was with the stock bar.

thanks!

reference is my car,,, ugly s1 bumper

I like s1 bumper, its so..............plain....

Not too difficult,you will have to trim some of the bar, the side scoops mostly to clear pipes and a little out of the middle but not much..biggest problem i reckon is the aircon fan gets in the way so you need to cut the reobar...maybe a smaller fan or something could solve this, i just disposed of the aircon instead...

But yeah if you can be rid of that fan somehow its an easy fit...

But if your careful you can squeeze it in so neatly you can hardly notice it

if you want it noticed however,best to get another bar...

you might have to angle the intercooler a bit to miss some stuff

Mine had to be angled a bit to clear the driving light/indicator assembly and the A/C fan.

best thing to do is just to take the front bar off, mount the intercooler then trial fit the front bar till you get the intercooler at the right angle and trim the front bar enough for everything to fit nice

basically trial and error, best way

Mines one of the big fmic's and quite thick.

I didnt do it, a workshop that does not exist anymore did, but they barely shaved anything off it. didnt look so hard to do, mind you I didnt know much about my car at that stage.

you can barely notice it, cops have to stick their heads under the license plate to see it. I rekon it looks good.

I think yours is the factory front bar and mine is the factory body kit? not 100% sure...

You have M-Spec and the OP just has the normal front bar

My S1 Front bar had working driving lights (which from what I've heard is pretty rare) so they were in the way thats why my cooler was angled lol but anyway

Series 2 front bar is much nicer to put a FMIC behind, Requires a fair bit of trimming but only of parts that you cant see

[r33canada]

yea,,, id much rather have the type m kit,, mine looks so dull in the front

there are also plenty of return flow front mount intercooler kits that you can use which sit very well as they use the stock intercooler pipes in the engine bay.

I have a BLITZ LM Return flow one, but i have a series 2 front bar, sits perfectly flush and its black too so does not grab any un-necessary attention.....

Just a thought. Oh yeah and you dont need to cutt any holes in the engine bay, just a slight few cms off the back of my front plastic bar and thats it.

this was with my old stock front bar, have modified m spec on there now

not series 1.5 im looking for s1.

Dont believe there is such a thing as a S1.5 front bar, the S1.5's were just a mix of S1 and S2 parts.

yeh the only difference is beteween standard bar and m spec bar. Between series 1 and 1.5 there is no difference in either bar
