I own a 93 240sx coupe and i was looking at my front bumper and it looks like the bumper is right up at the radiator. Will i be able to put a FMIC on this car and keep the bumper on without making modifications to it?

I had to trim my bumper a little...but my intercooler is not aligned at all.Just the inside fins might need to be cut.Nothing major took me all but 30seconds to do and can't tell a difference.

S13's are different than S14's in terms of supports and bumper fitments.

You will need to trim here and there because the OEM S13 bumper extends inward, whereas the S14 one does not.

Basically install the intercooler, cover the core with the supplied cardboard and check bumper fitment. Trim as necessary.

All the kits fit differently.

This is just one of those things you have to trial and error yourself, not everyones car has the exact same fitment (wrecks, etc.) and all the body panels will be off here and there if they've been removed.

You can fit the Greddy VSPL intercooler on the S13 or S14 if you trim your bumper a little...

If you want to keep the reinforcement on, you will have to trim about an inch off.
