Looking at that picture on the item, you will have a lot of cutting and welding or samco to make it fit.
Best speak to one of the vendors above and see what they have.

How can you possibily develope a kit for a particular car without any sort of trial fit ?
Am I missing something here? :xconfused
i dont think that kit will fit straight on.
You may find you inlet temps are high because of the ducting. Did it come with a proper duct to ensure air flow. I have seen a SMIC and it has a complete fiberglass ducting system to ensure air flow gets to it.
That pic they have is the same pic for their 200sx kit, Skyline kit, pulsar kit etc.
I have bought a FMIC kit for mine off a company in the States. It is well made and I can deffinatly tell the difference when the second turbo kicks. This did not require relocation of rad or battery, but I did have my own piping made as I got rid of my air pump and was fitting a Greddy elbow. It looks like this:

They said they\'d do me a group buy if anyones interested, I can dig out the prices if you like? The stock pipes look like this:

And they also do versions for single turbo, and flanges for BOV\'s
