I am looking into getting a front mount I/C for my r33 m spec and I want to know do I have to cut any of my front bar to make one fit,

Also suggestions on what type to get and if front the front bar needs to be cut for the type.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

i had mine just trimmed at the back side to give enough clearance for the fmic. from a far that'll make my car look 100% stock. air flow wise won't be a majro issue for a low boost application.

I like the look of the front bar as it is and yeah I am wanting to keep it looking as stock as posiable,

not going to be running huge boost so I dont need to get heeps of air flow,

so what is going to be the better brand to go with?

and around what size?

as was said the back side of the bar needs to be trimmed a little for the thing to fit, but the front should be fine. it should show you what needs to be done in the instruction booklet for and r33 i/c kit such as taking off the stock cooler and trimming what needs to be trimmed and so on and so forth. i have a greedy v-spl and that kit is only for midly modded cars so it (or a similar kit) would be ideal for you i suppose. dimensions are 600x276x76

Also, with a gtr style front bar such as the ones from UAS, it wouldnt need to be trimmed on the backside for the above cooler to fit would it?? i thought the std gtr coolers were about the same size so it should be ok right?

    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
    • Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
    • I installed it all myself,  It was really easy to install.  I got a professional to do the degas/gas.
