R32 bar mods for FMIC

[B0oStEr]

What mods have people done to get more airflow through their FMIC behind the stock r32 GTST bar?

Pics would be great.

Thanks.

if i said nothing would you give me your mirrors?

Yeah, thanks pitchd, my bar is the same type as yours.

I'm trying to avoid that cut up look as it gets too much of the wrong type of attention.

I'm going to at least have to cut out the under side of the bar and reo as the hybrid cooler is hard up against it so almost no air can get to the top half of the cooler.

I've got some N1 ducts coming and I thought I might also cut out the numberplate recess.

While the bar is off I also want to do something to improve the intake to the stock airbox.

K&N pod got defected on friday night. It has only been on the car for a couple of weeks.

They tried to defect the type S BOV too. Coppa didn't believe it was plumb back. He said to rev the motor and back off to see if he could hear it.

I think the stock airbox is not a bad thing but that asthmatic chamber under the headlight is a joke.

What has been done to replace it?

Anyone else got pics of their bar mods?

There is a post in the tutorial section on how to plumb up a nice CAI into the stock airbox for R32, i recomend going to take a look.

And if you dont chop the whole bar like above then yeah, n1 bar slots etc is prolly the best way about. JMS also sell a really long front bar slot, looks like 3 N1's in a row. Unless you pic up a gtr style......GTR's had the FMIC from the factory so chances are nissan dicided to give it decent flow propertys

Thanks geordie. The stock bar with mods will have to do for now.

I saw that CAI thread but was wondering if there was something better to use than a couple of radiator hoses.

Does anyone know if the GTR intake duct or airbox and duct would fit the GTSt?

Maybe I could use the rear AFM position and block off the front one.

Does anyone have pics of GTR airbox and duct on or off the car?

I didn't think it looked that bad,

I've got the same issue, my cooler is half hidden as present, gets no attention from the police though.

I was going to do that cut out on my gtst, however now feel paraniod.

Any nice aftermarket bars that are not too over the top??

Anyone know what a gtr bar is worth?

[B0oStEr]

I got my n1 ducts and cut them in but I'm not sure whether to cut out the numberplate recess or just cut the section below the numberplate to allow air up to the top of the cooler.

If I move plate to the side it might draw attention to the mods.

get a gtr bar

I'd just chop your stock one and see how it looks, after that spend the money on a new front bar that has more room, then again thats probably another $1000 there getting one and getting it painted (can think of better things to spend that money on).

Thing is people go for the largest, fattest intercooler that they can find, which makes mounting it a bitch. Fact is you don't need anything near that large unless going over 400hp or so. Or they get a massive intercooler, and then half of it is covered up by the bar anyhow

Here's my previous car's bumper chop job..

[B0oStEr]

I bought the hybrid 600x300 ic because it was the cheapest I could find that was available at the time and also because it was a perfect fit. It almost mounted itself.

I didn't need cut anything except the bar cover to fit it but I'll cut the bar support for more airflow to the topof the ic.

I think it is better to make sure all the tubes get some air than it is to get maximum possible air to some tubes and none to others.

I mean if your tubes run horizontal it would cool better if say you blocked off air to the right half of the ic rather than if you blocked off airflow to the top half because then only half your tubes would be able to cool the air passing through them.

If your ic is larger than you need then only part of each tube might need airflow to do the job adequately.

GTR90 Your old car looks good.

That numberplate recess cutout was exactly what I had in mind but does say look at my fmic.

Hey I suppose I could get it engineered but once the cops pull you over to check the papers they'll try to do you for something else.
