Tried to ring some place for a quote of FMIC installation.

However I discover some place (somewhere in North west) even charge up to $500 for a Trust FMIC installation, :eek: , don't know how they justify the cost? Or it's because roll on thing?

I just wondering how much people paid for their cooler installation, specially for the "kit" like trust or HKS..and all pipinf come with package..and how they feel the workmanship?

I have think about doing myself, but just don't have tools need...:D

Doc,

How do u go bout doin the measurements (any special tool, etc) and is the piping for a R32 same as a R33, otherwise I could maybe just take ur measurements if u dont mind?

sidewaymambo: Get a few mates together with a case of cold beer and do it yourself.

Cereal Jacques and I fitted the cooler on my car, good fun considering i would normally take on such a project. Its really quite straight forward. the only annoying part is the trimming of the bar etc required, this depends on the bar you have and size of the cooler.

As least mount the cooler. If worst somes to worst do what you can and get someone to finish it off.

My cooler was a micks metalcraft package which including all alloy piping. Having the kit include all the seals and clamps makes life alot easier.

Nick

try and find a mate with a welder and do it all yourself its soooo easy, all u need is the bends and straight pipe, if u use steel just goto the local exaust place and buy a "snake" a snake is about 8ft long (depending on what size pipe u want ie 2" 2 1/2" 3",)

and has about 8-9 mandrell bends on it,and u can cut the bends off as u need them,then buy maybe 2 mtrs of the same diameter straight pipe then measure and cut the pipe to whatever u want,also u can stickytape the pipeing together so u can work it all out be4 hand ready for welding, this way if u dont have a welder u can take it to a local welding place and it will cost u a slab of bear to weld it up :D

anymore help needed?

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
