anyone with a aftermarket FMIC on their m35 ...what was the dimensions you used without having to butcher the front bar to buggery?

and was that a relatively easy fit?

Doesnt need to be huge. infact id rather it quite thin but long. Anything has to be better than the standard one on there.

any feedback on dimensions would be great so i know what to buy before tearing the front bar off.

cheers

Mine has a 600 x 220 core now I modified it, bolts under the bar, just.

Most of the guys run a standard 600 x 300 but you have to remove the thermo fan and replace it with a thinner one, core sits behind the bar.

I used to run a 450 x 300 which fit beside the thermo fan motor but it wasnt ideal.

There is enough width to run maybe 800mm if you really wanted but you are stuck with standard core sizing usually.

Best cooler will be a 600 x 300 x 76 and a thinner fan, The HDI kit would be the go if you have the coin. All the piping is plastic and will need to be changed so factor that in.

Do you have a power goal? Mine keeps raising... ;)

I've got the HDI FMIC kit....no complaint's and easy to install yourself....big improvement over the standard one especially in summer.

If you want one that will fit nicely under the reo, maybe look at this Trust unit?

Is looking more and more like the way I go and get some 1-piece mandrel bent inlet and outlet piping done locally.... will have to make up your own brackets though

But then again, I am not going for 300awkw

Hey mate,

For a little variety I went the Blitz CS FMIC kit for the M35 from Just Jap. Cheaper than the HDi unit also (last time I checked). It was $999 + around $50 postage to the Gold Coast. If you would like to see it/drive it, come on down.

Blitz FMIC

Core Size - 620 x 266 x 76mm. Only the reo bar had to be cut back a tiny bit. Could not be happier though.

Cheers

PS: Glad theres more M35s in Qld now.

You cut back the alloy reo? How is the air going to flow to that part of the cooler? Maybe you should have put a thinner fan on instead.

I had just replaced the fan with a new OEM one so I was not going to do that again. Plus, it was my Mechanic who did it without telling me prior to him installing it. Sucks to be me.

hmm... Hdi's kit should set you back around the $800 mark. Can't remember if that included shipping or not though.

Also, the HD' GT2 core is significantly more efficient than the Blitz unit

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
