Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...

[WAGON_BOY]

here are 2 options......... my drawing skill are rather ordinary but u get the idea, preportions will depend on the reo behind the bar etc

either its a GTR style grill or a Stagea style grill........ for the top section, the lower will be GTR spec and the sides will be RS6 spec

[PN-Mad]

Wagzilla!

Icwatyoudidthere. Drawing skills much better than mine. I think the lower one is better, but I'm far from a style expert! I think it would look less gape-y. Maybe some little vents in the bottom sides to vent things like tranny coolers?

[iamhe77]

Haha, I think I like the top one.

The angle of those lines in the lower one make me think HSV (VY specifically) plus the gently lines work with the rounded disposition of headlights and might flow a little better with the rest of the car.

Nice drawings though

[Commsman]

I think the drawing is the least of your worries. Nice job on those btw.

Actually blending it together in the flesh (plastic?) is going to be the real challenge. I'd like to see that! Should be an original though, if it gets done.

[WAGON_BOY]

yeah the side vents will definately be utilised for coolers,

the finished product will definately look nothing like a HSV!!!

as far as trying to get the plastic to blend in isnt a problem as it will all be fibreglass and just painted black.

but yes i like a good challenge i have big idea's but achieving them is the hard parts LOL, still havent completed my guage cluster HAHA

[WAGON_BOY]

This is what it would look like with thr GTR centre (exact replica, to scale) with the axis chrome chopped out of the lower sides.

[iamhe77]

That look nice mate, just need the double unicorn in there instead of the GTR emblem

Looks good but I can't help but think of the mitsubishi 380 when I look at it. Obviously it should look much better actually done

your dreaming Aaron............ how does it

Don't worry about him Theo.

Like we take notice of someone driving a bright orange turd!

my radiator is farked, looks like the top end tank is leaking and the crimp has failed............ time to order a new one!!!

[WAGON_BOY]

seeing as the car's off the road for about 2 weeks i got bored and this happened........

FYP Mate.

Blue... suppose it matches the calipers now

Oh, didn't see that you pulled all the shiny stuff out too. Going to put Leb mesh in?

[WAGON_BOY]

installed my Mishimoto radiator today and i gotta say for the price $560 delivered i gotta say im not all that happy with it as far as mounting and clearance (the a/c condencer mounts to it also) even though i understand its for a G35 not a M35, also the trans section cannot be used because of the f**ked up size and thread thats on there, so i might have to look at the american market for fittings to suit.

as far as build quality and cooling capacity it is great.

so unfortunately im a bit dissiapointed but it should do a good job, and now i have to custom mount 2x 14" thermo fans to it. (you can keep the stock clutch fan though)

[PN-Mad]

Did you try Pirtek for those barbs I told you about for the trans?

They seem to be working OK on Craigs car. Might be worth a shot- only $6 or something each, before you go to the states.

[scotty nm35]

They are just BSPT air line fittings, that's what I used...

[WAGON_BOY]

Na Alex i didnt try Pirtek cos Craig said they were sh*t fittings anyway.

oks cheers Scotty.

was running without the shroud around the clutch fan for a day and now i know that the thermo fan on the front works LOL cos everytime i stopped it would kick in so now i've put the shroud back on and it should run properly again but atleast i know that fan works.......... also thinking of putting a fan on the transcooler just in case, i've got it sitting infront of the passengers side wheel now...... not to sure how good the ventilation off the back of it is.

[PN-Mad]

Yeah, they weren't crash hot, but was the first thing I could put my hand on that would work.

When you find something that works let me know, cause I need some too!

If your worried about the cooler flow, you could always cut a hole in the back of that plastic wheel arch and mesh it. That would flow ok I guess but not pretty. Otherwise maybe move it up above the intercooler where the other guys run it. Do you have something there already?

I'm sort of luck with my poor mans 1/2 size intercooler. There was plenty of space.

[bigkevracer]

Saw this and thought of your front end plans...

Might be easier to buy and cut up?
