  1. Well I've done some limited stuffing around but couldn't be botehred with what seems like a temporary solution which is why I'm gonna pick up some SplitFires.

    There's a group by in my sig, $640 which might not be as cheap as Nengun (only if you manage to dodge GST and customs), but that's a guaranteed price to my door. I don't mind paying $40 for the piece of mind.

  2. The best way to remove the radiator is undo the 4 x 10mm nuts holding the fan on....remove the fan. Undo the 2 x 10mm bolts holding the brackets that hold the top of the radiator. Undo the top and bottom radiator hose clamps and remove hose from radiator. Disconnect green plug from drivers side of fan shroud. Slide radiator out from the top. Should take no longer than 10 minutes.
    Shit that's right, i forgot you need to unbolt the fan, that's what i was thinking of whne blathering about shroud and rad in one piece, need the fan in there too! :rolleyes:
  3. I feel like a CD on replay........

    Put the rear springs in the front and buy new rear springs, around 200 to 250 lbs per inch.  Sell the rediculously hard front spings to some poor unsuspecting fool.  Cost = almost zero,l if you do the fitting yourself.

    :thumbsup:

    Very interesting, I'm glad this particular record is broken because I hadn't come across a previous playing, something to think about after I get my fronts rebuilt.

    I have a feeling i wont want to go back to the bone-jarrers after cruising around on stock susp. for a couple of weeks.

  4. The temp guage reads center from roughly 75degree's right up to 102degree's.

     

    If its going over half then its over 102degree's and dangerously close to boiling temp.

     

    IF the FMIC has caused the car to start running hotter on the stock guage then it means you previously had a problem with either the clutch fan being stuffed or the radiator is blocked. I tend to lean towards the clutch fan being buggered.

     

    With my FMIC fitted I find bugger all air gets through the radiator as cruising on 60km/h or even 100km/h I can hear the clutch fan cycle in and out.

     

    EL Ford Falcon twin thermo fans draw a hell of a lot of air (more than a clutch fan would under 2000rpm) so thats my next step as in peak hour traffic I find the temps creep up over 90degree's. Once I get moving the temps drop really quick so its a simple fact of the clutch fan not spinning quick enough on idle. :P

    They are $190 bran spankin new and are the perfect size for the R32's radiator.

    Mine's NEVER gone higher than about 90 odd degrees on a hot day, admittedly it wasn't uber- stop/start but it wasn't all cruising either, except when i left some hose to do with the heater disconnected so when i switched it on i lost half my water and got things a little toasty but nothing drastic before i sorted it out.
