Hey Guys,

seeing as my cars in peice's and waiting for parts anyways im dropping my radiator off to get a fan shroud made up so suit 14" spal thermofans on the mishimoto radiator and wondered if anyone else is keen for 1.

i'll get prices tomorrow and see if they're keen to make a few of them aswell if need be.

(it'll get measured up tomorrow but they're pretty busy atm so might not have pic's to show for a while)

cheers, Theo.

spal's are nice and thin so should be right............ what did you use ?

Davies Craig; they're about 80mm deep +15mm for the shroud.

My set up literally cannot be any thicker; otherwise it will not fit down the back of the rad. I actually had to remove one of the 5mm spacers in the back of the fan, as it wouldn't go in.

You should have another 15mm to work with, as my rad is thicker, and sit slightly further back.

I'm interested Theo.

Depends on price of course.

GTM do one, but no chance considering price + shipping

Why?

You have twin thermos....? And they work very well.

I'm interested depending on price Theo.

If it's too expensive I'll just use the twin 12s, or mod the shroud I've got to fit 14s.

What is the issue with your 2x12" fan setup, Ryan?

I thought you were saying it held 88deg in 44deg ambient the other day?

Would have thought you'd be pretty pleased with that.

Yes, but larger fans (thus larger holes) mean it is easier for the air to flow through the radiator and out of the shroud when the fans are not on (I have not uprev'd yet remember) and also, larger fans with more efficiently designed (and numerous) blades with draw much more air through in less time than the stockies.

I haven't got them in yet - those temps were with the clutch fan.

Just keeping my options open in case I need to go to 14"s

Ahh, well that makes sense.

here is a teaser pic of the radiator fan shroud......... ballpark price is under $200 but i'll see what it costs me in the end and then work out how many people would like one and if he'll do us a deal.

    • Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers
    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
