hahahah i know my front bar is held on by by two screws and two zip ties takes me about 2 min's to pull it off :) but i doubt the front bar of this car has been taken off before.

have a compressor would have helped heaps benno. did you find some coilovers??? if you are looking at spending around the grand mark on them have a look at this first

do hks make bar and plate coolers..??

end tanks dont look like something hks would put out. but still looks good.. got a pic of the cooler cross over pipping. i like how greg made the crossovr return 2 pieces so u can lower it more and miss the bonnet and bring it closer to the battery to miss the fan blades...

nah its one piece :) fan had to be... "modified" for now.... although i am going to get 2 x thermal fans to replace it anyways.

i never had to cut an blades on none of the kits apart from 1 hybrid kit.. :)

yeah 2x thermos will be fine. autobarn had a sale for ice cool 14-18inch thermos

Hey matey, id personally stay away from thermo fans, they will never match the standard fan for cooling performance.

i personally prefer them. used 1x 14 or 16inch "ice cool" thermo on the RB20 sil due to space.. sits around 80degrees quite nicely.has no a/c condensor or anything obstructing the way as i made it as efficient as possible.

well the car sounds a bit like a truck at the moment from the fan trim, and i am worried about mis-alignment, and water pump issues down the track, so i would much rather have the thermals than have to purchase a new water pump.

also.

heres a pic with the bumper (which needs paint bad!)

  • 2 weeks later...
the stock shroud & clutch fan works heaps better than 2 thermos without shroud.

on my 33 i was having heating issues when i put the 2 thermo's on, and they were 2x14" ones too!

humm =\ my shroud doesnt fit my new radiator, so ive been running stock fan with no shroud. I dont have a digital temp readout, but needle has never moved from the dummy guage on the dash... i was planning on putting a couple of thermos in but now you've got me worried =\=\=\

I put a 16inch s-blade SPAL fan on my cefiro and it runs cool as. Put one of those on with a fan controller and it would be sweet as.

    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
