Latest thing has been the radiator. the stock one popped a while back, so i bit the bullet and decided to have an aluminum one built.

Built by Race Radiators in Dandenong.
27mm stock vs 40mm new. Same cores as they use for Skyline GTRs, so it'll be fine for mine. It's a bit of future-proofing for when i eventually get a bigger turbo. Power = heat, after all.





Also working to fit the Mazdaspeed MX5 airbox i bought a while back, as the ARC V6 Lantis airbox doesn't have a chance in hell of fitting in the space available.

Haven't touched it in ages, but it occasionally progresses a bit. And yeah, everything will be colorcoded.

Was thinking about posting pics of the kit up as i don't think i've posted any here...but they're all old ones.

$660 for the radiator, and another $150 for the 2nd fan. Much better than the $880+ that PWR wanted!
