Just got two of the 16" spal high performance fans that flow over 3000 cfm air each... so a potential 6000 cfm air flow. overkill much? probably but thats the idea... this cooling system would be right at home in a burnout car soon :)

mounting them on the radiator in this sort of shroud, excuse my MS paint skills..

I do agree with mungy.

Pull air from the quarter panels.

I read a build up thread on a GTR that had done the same thing as you. They cam to the conclusion that using the quarter glass as the air inlet was the bes.

They made up full carbon fibre ducting from each side into a main funnel of the rad. Fan was mounted underneath the rad in a pull config.

Not sure about the above design there simmo, I think for a rear setup pushing air through the rad won't be as effective as pulling it through as you will create some turbulence before the air goes through the radiator slowing it down, you should mount the fans underneath the rad and have the rad COMPLETLEY sealed between the fans and the ducting to get the best flow through the rad.

the fans are pulling through the rad.. that pic is just inverted thats all.. and yes its completely sealed.

kitto, i know about that red GTR in the uk that your referring to.. its brilliant stuff. at same time theres no reason why air being fed from the roof wouldnt work as its a constant high pressure zone when straight or sideways.

Don't mind the caps lol, I phone seems to think it knows best, yes you are right it is a high pressure zone but doing it that way will make your fans work harder than if we took the air from the quarter panels, think of it this way if air is basically a much thinner lighter version of water and if you were drifting under water which way would help the water flow to the radiator easier?

to be honest i may end up doing both side vents and top roof vent to supplement it cause i need all the air flow i can get. I need some ducts or vents made for my rear 1/4 windows.. anyone able to assist with that?

not sure about your theory on high air pressure making the fans work harder.. if the air pressure is higher due to ram air effect then fans will most likely be off due to the large amounts of cooling air flowing in. and besides think of all the factory themo fan cars with their rads in the front getting ram air from high pressure air

Simon, can you give us a quick review of your front susp set up?

Cheers

Justin

parts are GKtech knuckles which Garage7 modified the steering arm to my spec, we then drilled out the bolt holes and fitted longer bolts (these were prototype knuckles, the production ones have this already done) we also ran a weld on the join to secure it. i wont be changing the steering arm every 5 mins so i'd prefer it to be solid.

coilovers are BC ER with 8kg fronts

LCA are OEM s14 lengthened 30 mm with a recessed area to allow the steering arm to travel more

Tie rods are off the shelf OEM replacement parts, Tie rod ends are my own design

Bolt on rack spacers are my own design. allows 20mm extra rack travel

Castor rods are offset GKtech items

Swaybar is stock.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
