I just realize something that’s going to bother me. I'm currently in the process of installing the Greddy TT kit on my G35 as a daily driver car. I do understand the fact that the Greddy FMIC is way too big to mount up with the stock bumper bracket (aluminum bar). It just so happen that I got into a lill fender bender yesterday afternoon which totally destroy my front stock bumper (lucky for the Spear NISMO sitting in the garage) it also cracked my grill and shifted my hood a lill. Not bad as it could be all fixed this Sat when I install the Nismo bumper and new grill.

My question is if I mount up my Greddy FMIC is their anyway I could custom cut the front aluminum car so that I will have enforcement in cause an accident like that could happen again. I want to protect the FMIC at all possible. I know for sure that if my TT kit was on without that support bar at that time. I would have been ordering a new FMIC cause of damages.

Any ideas anyone..

** don't really wanna sell the Greddy FMIC ***

 

I am sure that you can have one fabbed up, I have seen people modify the stock one but honestly the amount of material that was taken out, it probally doesn't really provide that much protection

 

Why not find a new mounting spot for the FMIC?

 

Its so huge "thickness" i wouldn't know anywhere else to plase it..


anyone on here runing a Greddy FMIC with stock bumper mount?

 

No cause it will just not fit and as usual lawdy dosent know what hes talking about as there is no where else it can mount.There was a thread on my350z about someone who makes a protective bar for our cars with large i/c's youll just have to search for it.

 

I notched my brace so I could fit the intercooler, but I think the best way would be to get a new brace fabbed up. I didn't any material away just notched and bent it, so it still has some decent integrity, maybe 75% if not a little more I'd guess.

How? Measure and cut... lol. Oh and I did mount the IC alot closer to the radiator by drilling new mounting holes in the brackets on the IC. This also meant that I had to notch the passenger side brace bracket for the top charge pipe comming from the turbo...

 

I notched both sides of the bumper brace to fit a large IC also . I didnt want to get rid of it all together . A small little fender bender will destroy the front with out it .
