Hello guys..... And gals..... Could you recommend a Skyline friendly garage for me in the north west area please? I have a fmic which I would like fitting preferably by someone who knows what they're doing....... Many thanks

What type of FMIC is it ?
If it is the D1 (600BHP) which retains the existing plenum and pipework it is an easy DIY job that takes half a day maximum with a small cut to the front crash bar strut and some trimming of the bumper required.
For the larger FMIC where the pipework exits in the passenger side and comes back through the drivers side arch area it will need a hole cutting in the drivers wing and may need viscous fan blades trimming etc. I fitted my own D1 and am happy to assist if you have the same setup. I can recommend a very reasonable garage in central manchester (who really like Skylines). I trust them with my car for things like race suspension setup / and standard mechanicking tasks - but not sure if they would cut fan blades and wheel arches. If nobody comes back with a recommendation + Central Manchester (Ardwick) is good for you - PM me and I will pass on the details so you can enquire.

looks relatively straight forward

Hi Dazza...... By 'relatively straightforward' are you suggesting that any competent motor mechanic should be able to do this for me? As a completely hands OFF member I was thinking this sort of modification was best left to a Skyline experienced garage....

yes mate easily but tbh im thinking more like you doing it....nothing like doing your own mods just bare in mind if you do fit it you will need a remap so just make sure you have an ecu fitted that can be mapped quite soon after installation so as not to cause damage

 

[Dexan]

That's the very subject I was going to raise next..... Having only limited knowledge but being a keen reader of the club forums, my next question is: Bearing in mind my car is an automatic and I am not looking for a massive increase in bhp should I consider a custom mapping of my oe ecu with Bells Autos?
Not least because it seems to be the most economical option and my car is for road use only averaging less than 6000 miles a year.....
And I WILL take your advice and have a go at fitting the fmic myself.....
