Operation "Cool Running" is in effect
Car was getting a little warm on the Cruise a few weeks ago so I decided it is time to cool her down a little more.
Car is getting a few new cooling modifications done to it as we speak.
-Up Graded Koyo Radiator
-Nismo Low Temp thermo Stat
-Samco Hoses
-pure water instead of a coolant mix.
Next up (next month)
-Oil Cooler
Think that should do the trick or are there a few more thing you all might recommend?
Thanks,
John

the coolant will just let you know if you ever have a small leak, you wont smell it if its just water.

You might consider some upgraded coolant fans (Spal or Flex-a-Lite) and an HKS Fan Controller to lower the turn on temps:

Instead of distilled water, use 100% Evans NPG+. http://www.evanscooling.com/html/npgPls.htm
From my experience, distilled water and water wetter type products cause too much corrosion. I know some people have had good experiences with Water Wetter and Purple Ice, but I wont touch the stuff.
I would put the Oil Cooler in right away, instead of next month.
