Hi guys, I really need to know whether my FMIC is standard or not (and if standard, whether it is in the standard location, instead of having been relocated). I thought I'd try one of the general forums because no one has replied on a Victorian forum (maybe because all the GTRs have aftermarket FMICs here lol). I'm pretty sure it is stock, but someone (the cop who defected me for it) disagrees. There are no aftermarket logos, etc on it and all the cooler pipes appear stock. The car came with it when I bought it and the previous owner thought it was stock too.

On google the pics are all of the FMIC already removed, and some of them appear to be black and some shiny metal-coloured. It kind of looks like a stock one. Please take a look. I would really appreciate it. If it is standard, how do I go about proving it is to Vicroads? Is there a Nissan OEM parts list? I couldn't find any model numbers on the FMIC. Thank you!

Most Victorian GTR's run stock coolers, given they are well proven to be fine for 400rwkw.

Just measure it, easiest way to tell and the OEM size is easy shown. I don't believe there is a part number on it.

cool thanks guys! hope the guy who does my RWC knows this.

what reference can I give that has the OEM intercooler size written down? tried looking in my translated manual and googling but no luck. thanks.

i was done for my cooler, its nismo but std looking, and the cop said nope, its supposed to be side mount intercooler on these car

i just printed the exploded diagram out of the nissan workshop manual showing the front mount and showed it to the inspection guy

I used to keep a copy of the book in my car, just for this reason. :-)

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
