Hey Guys,

seeing as my cars in peice's and waiting for parts anyways im dropping my radiator off to get a fan shroud made up so suit 14" spal thermofans on the mishimoto radiator and wondered if anyone else is keen for 1.

i'll get prices tomorrow and see if they're keen to make a few of them aswell if need be.

(it'll get measured up tomorrow but they're pretty busy atm so might not have pic's to show for a while)

cheers, Theo.

spal's are nice and thin so should be right............ what did you use ?

Davies Craig; they're about 80mm deep +15mm for the shroud.

My set up literally cannot be any thicker; otherwise it will not fit down the back of the rad. I actually had to remove one of the 5mm spacers in the back of the fan, as it wouldn't go in.

You should have another 15mm to work with, as my rad is thicker, and sit slightly further back.

I'm interested Theo.

Depends on price of course.

GTM do one, but no chance considering price + shipping

Why?

You have twin thermos....? And they work very well.

I'm interested depending on price Theo.

If it's too expensive I'll just use the twin 12s, or mod the shroud I've got to fit 14s.

What is the issue with your 2x12" fan setup, Ryan?

I thought you were saying it held 88deg in 44deg ambient the other day?

Would have thought you'd be pretty pleased with that.

Yes, but larger fans (thus larger holes) mean it is easier for the air to flow through the radiator and out of the shroud when the fans are not on (I have not uprev'd yet remember) and also, larger fans with more efficiently designed (and numerous) blades with draw much more air through in less time than the stockies.

I haven't got them in yet - those temps were with the clutch fan.

Just keeping my options open in case I need to go to 14"s

Ahh, well that makes sense.

here is a teaser pic of the radiator fan shroud......... ballpark price is under $200 but i'll see what it costs me in the end and then work out how many people would like one and if he'll do us a deal.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
