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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
