Hey,

The fan shroud had a disagreement with the fan, and guess who won (fan shroud was already damaged, now its in 2 pieces)? :)

Anyway, I had a bit of trouble finding an R33 fan shroud last time, I think most of the RB fan shrouds are actually the same, does anyone know where I might get one in Vic?

I might have to try the wreckers but its hard to find shrouds there, let alone skylines....

Also, has anyone bothered with the aftermarket fan shrouds? They look a bit expensive.

This is for an aftermarket (Trust/Greddy) radiator so the shroud will likely need some minor modifications to be re-attached correctly.

I've checked the for sale section and found nothing in Vic so far.

EDIT: Does anyone know any other Nissan or other car model that has a fan shroud the same size? The clutch fan itself is compatible with a Nissan Pathfinder (from memory) so I wonder if the shroud is the same....

Regards,

Gareth

Sent JapTech an sms as it was a busy day, but will call them tomorrow.

If anyone else knows where to get them at a reasonable price please tell me, I keep seeing them for $75 in another state so it's going to be waaay overpriced.

Otherwise I could try and get a custom one....(but that's more $$$ and I don't know where from).

EDIT: Found the wreckers list, will try making some calls tomorrow, hopefully it won't be too expensive, might tell them its for a GTST lol.

Just FYI, I called about 6 wreckers, and got one from Oakleigh, they just pulled it off a car on Thursday, it was $50, and $55 at another wrecker, which isn't too bad.

Not cheap, but just be warned about the private sellers trying to sell them to you for $75, they're rare but its just plastic in the end.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
