Na, Jez just told me I can't run high boost like I wanted to.

Just fitted 570's and E-manage , he reckons the stock intercooler is holding it back.

I want to run over 20 psi but it's tuned at 16 as there's high risk of detonation.

219 rwkw though,on a safe tune , that was actually my goal.

It appears there's a fair bit more there if I want it, ... hmmm tempting :yes:

re: slim a/c fan.

Can I get any universal slim fan ?

Supercheap auto...

Any tricks I need to know about this install ?

cheers

Yes, any universal fan is fine.

No tricks; just make sure it's turning the right way.

219 at 16psi? that's good. your mod list? i will meet Jez again later on this month

So looking at stock front bumper, only has 100mm slot for air to reach the intercooler.

Looking at the height of them they are around 300mm.

I'm thinking the front bumper restricts airflow .

Will the HDI GT2 pro really make a difference with the small air duct ?

Can't seem to find any front spoilers anywhere for M35.

Thinking of cutting a huge area to expose the HDI completely.

Anyone else done this ?

I will soon have a m35 full aero kit for sale. [emoji6]

i don't think there is much difference if you can DIY with stock bumper for the lower grill. but i'd say aero bumper is much beautiful.

what i am worry about is the big FMIC will block air flow to the poor radiator. i saw the highest temp on stock intercool is 101-102C when hot day then it will go down after the small fan working.

after fit HDI FMIC with 2 thin fan running, i saw 104C degree on hot day and i don't know when will it go down if keep stuck in traffic.

also i will put a big square custom number plate on front bumper to block the lower grill more :rofl2::rofl2:

My engine temps did not change from running the stock tiny intercooler to running an HDi kit.

Scotty's cooling mod, and a larger capacity radiator will improve the cooling system's ability to shed heat.

IMO; the OEM (quite noisy I agree) is far superior to thermo fans for heat management.

I've run a number of different setups using high capacity fans, and custom made shrouds to ensure efficiency, and nothing works better than the stock Clutch fan.

Dolphin front bar for NM35 is unmatched for airflow.

I did notice an improvement in cooling system performance when I changed from the stock "smiley face" front bar to the Aero Kit front bar.

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
