With any track oriented car, the idea is to have proper cooling.

I see... how often do you get on the track then? and no, motorkhana days doing one lap wonders don't count. When was the last sprint or enduro race you entered? Cos a radiator that size is only ever gonna be of use when you have massive heat soak to dissipate. You're running a thrmo fan with no shroud on a street driven car, which will result in pisspoor airflow through the fins in stop start low speed driving.

It's true, I hardpark my daily... ever since I got 3 dents in my daily at deca i refuse to track em. That's why I have a perfectly good stripped out, rollcaged race car sitting at driftline for when I got out to winton etc (running a triple core koyo rad and a couple of thermo fans off some ford)... which is for sale btw, as I won't have a shop to maintain it or time to race it.

What I'm getting at is that making a daily driver into a "track ready" car is an expensive, uncomfortable process. You'd be better off just buying a cheap second car and going balls out on making it an all out track car. Your car's emo enough as it is, the more you push it, the more things are gonna break.

fyi I was meant to have a track day this saturday but pulled out due to car problems and no one said that my cooling setup has been finished. Twin thermo setup + shroud (AU falcon) is the next step, depending on the clearance. (else flex-a-lite low profile thermo setup)

I have a hyundai getz as a backup car, but i will continue to drive my car as a daily and not have it looking pretty in the garage. So all im saying is, dont assume what my car will be used for because it makes you look silly.

The r32 has always been aimed at being a track oriented car because in the future I will be buying new cars but this car will always be sticking around as its not worth selling.
