RB20LagWagon,

Thats effectively what my cooler (currently being stored in my wardrobe) does. My drivers (inlet) side tank has been modified so that I can run a pipe behind the core back to the stock piping on the passenger side. This requires minimal bends, next to no custom work because its basically a straight bit of pipe with one bend on the end.

GTST. you dont use that end of the core as the EXIT point, you use it as the ENTRY point so that the air has the shortest distance and least amount of time to be heated up on its way into the engine. If you had the end tank modified properly the effect can be minimised. ALOT of japanese kits do this for the RB20/25 motors, so it cant be that bad.

having the pipes come back like that is shit for flow and u end up using alot more lenght of total pipe.

As for the gibson car, just coz they did that in the 90's doesent mean there isent a better method of doing it these days.

I am very interested in this kit for an R34

My car is available in Melbourne for a trial fitting if required.

In fact my car is available for anybody to test any fitting on in Melbourne.

Call my car a fitting whore.

FORCE, I have seen a WRX with that exact setup (if the car is in melb, then it was probably that one with the big K&N).

I noticed that the pipe from the compressor to the cooler (or to the front of the car) appeared to be made of either mild steel, or something painted. It was corroded and / or flaking. I asked the shop that installed the kit, and they said that it comes like that in the kit.

Why only make all the visible pipes a nice shiny colour? I certainly wouldn't be happy with all the visible pipes made from quality materials, only to find inferior product where the piping is hidden.

You may have changed the kit since, and replaced that tubing with stainless / aluminium, but if this is what the kits are like I think forum goers have the right to complete disclosure.

Please don't take this the wrong way, I have seen your products and they are generally of good quality. I would in this case like to be proven wrong.

In this case you are wrong. I don't know who made the kit you saw but I assure you all of our FMIC kits have all pipes thin wall aluminium mandrel bent in one piece. The anodized finish in the picture in this forum carries to all pipes fitted.

We would never compromise a fittment to save a couple of bucks. As you said yourself the quality of our products are (in our opinion) second to none. We have many, very happy customers who can attest to that.

Hope this clears up any doubts you had in us.

Good enough for me mate, just raising the question - good to see you have not take it personally. The titanium-look anodizing does look very nice.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Ah yes, fair enough! I was purely thinking about cleaning the spokes and front of the wheel with the mitt. For the barrel the rag on a stick makes more sense. I've tried cleaning the barrels on mine and gave up in frustration. Between brakes being in the way or spokes being in the way and limited space to constantly move the car front and back it was just too annoying. The barrel being as shiny as the rest of the wheel sounds amazing though. At this point I'm not even sure if they have the same surface finish on mine. But I feel inspired now to find out.

      I have a wheel cleaner pokie thing which is a glorified microfibre rag on a stick, and there is not sufficient clearance between the caliper and the barrel to clean that section. I just roll the car forward 500mm and have another shot at each wheel.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      The "rag on a stick" is a easy way to fit in between the wheel spokes into all of the barrel Albeit I do have 10 spokes on the MX5 which limits the access to actually jam my hand in to clean the barrel, but it was also makes much easier to clean the 5 spokes on the Dunnydoore with it as well, as you don't have to worry the  caliper getting in the way if you have at least about 15mm space between the caliper and barrel This of course depends if you actually have the clearance between the barrel and caliper, and the amount of OCD you have to get the barrels as clean and shiny as the face of the wheel The thing is bendy as well so you can actually shape it to conform to the inner lip of the barrel

      Alarm/immobiliser recomendations for an R33

      By Duncan · Posted

      FWIW, as well as a basic immobiliser/remote unlock (all basic units give you those 2 things), I would also install a 4g tracker in any car I cared about. Just hide it anywhere that won't be found in a rushed look and preferably get something with a built in battery backup so it stays online for a while when the battery is removed or flat While its not a car, when our car trailer was stolen in that den of crime Sydney about a decade ago, the cops were watching from the bloke's neighbour's lawn within about 2 hours until he started swapping the plates and putting up the gumtree ad.   Obviously it is still not undefeatable (eg parking it up for a few days somewhere without sky sight) but it greatly improves your chances of getting it back quickly and with less damage

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Instead of magic keyphrases I wonder if something can be done with auto complete. Similar to how user names are handled already. When you type '@' and follow with letters, it'll search across all usernames. It might work to have the same for forum topics. Some key to trigger it and then text search across all thread names and it'll insert the name and URL when pressing enter.
