300zx intercooler piping

[300zx tt]

Hey guys i need some help, im fixing a 1995 300zx, im installing a vg30dett, the car is almost ready, all i need is the piping for the FMIC, my question is does a universal kit will fit in it?

Welcome to NICO! I'm going to move your post into the 300ZX section to get some more acquainted eyes on your post.

You are better off going with a stock twin sidemount setup. A front mount can restrict airflow to the radiator and most have only a single inlet and a single outlet, whereas the Z32 uses 2 turbo's a 2 throttle bodies. There are kits for fitting a front mount onto a Z32 but most use at least some of the stock piping.

well the thing is that i have the front mount, a friend of mine give it to me thats what i was going to use, since i have it i dont have to spend on the side one's.

But every time i look for the z32 it show all kind of bends, so i was thinking that a universal could work on it?

Did you friend give you a vertical flow? or crosslow? Single inlet or dual? single outlast or dual? If your friend gave you a generic cross flow single setup it's useless. if your friend gave you a z32 fmic with the duals that will dictate the plumbing you need, there are multiple variations.

You should ditch the fmic unless as indicated it's set up correctly for the Z32 and a dual intake pattern.
I would stay with the sidemount IC route- get some used smics to get you going. I have two used OEM sidemounts (smics) listed in the classifieds for a very reasonable price that would get you moving in the right direction, and only needing to source used OEM intake piping available at Z1 and probably cl or ebay...the far and away recommended route. You can then upgrade the smics at your leisure and avoid the other potential problems a fmic will give you.
