yeah - thanks for the heads up on this pathfinder mod f1 - i never heard of it

- would be cool to see stats with a lower temp thermostat installed as a comparison - but i don't guess it helps cooling temps as much - i guess it helps distribute the cooling better - but maybe it adds some capacity - which will i guess, help with cooling temps some

is this a valid idea for moving the front mounted condensor coil for the a/c? haha

I have a lower temp tstat, oversized koyo radiator and gtm fan shroud with spal fans. My car doesn't run hot on the road in boost but was
Running a tad higher on the dyno. The pathfinder mod is a bit more
Insurance not to blow a head gasket. My engine is working a bit harder
Than most ATM pushing boost

It's less than a quarter mile!!! What a pansy.

James - it's alot easier to just buy the pathfinder parts right? That GTM price tag seems crazy.

i think you can get the mod for about 209 shipped...if you buy the parts yourself you have to do some welding so it balances out i'm sure IIRC

I would like to come and see your car r1, i have thought about the fans - i'd like to hear and see them - i was running hot @ eagles canyon - but i'm assuming that was due to the heat and lack of underpinning -

yes - booooost will make you hot fo' sho' - in so many ways :P on the road course - in my old supra i would have to have it dialed down to spring as the only way to go

is that your car? looks awesome - nice wheels etc -

that's another sedan but they have similar setups...i just think r1 needs to get that front and mod the opening like that..it typically has a smaller opening and looks like this

That is wrong James. There is no welding involved. You just have to cut the right side hard pipe. Purchase the rear pipe, 2 rubber hoses, tstat, fitting for block and cover for tstat. I'll let yall know the final price when I buy everything

I'm not gonna pay the price tag of that bumper James. It's over priced to me. I wouldn't mod the opening as it looks strange for it to be that big vertically compared to the side vents

It just supplies coolant to the back of the block. Pathfinders with the towing package gets it and it works on the vq block

Travis - you could go with several different front options. The V2 is awesome or even the N1 would look good with those sides. You could also just add a lip to your bumper. Choices, choices.

This is confusing. The amuse is a style, not a brand. Are you saying the V2 should fit well based on the amuse you got? There are several companies that make replicas of each style.

I know what I'm taking bout. Yes amuse is a style. I was just saying the vis BRAND amuse bumper I got fit well. I also was saying he should get the nismo in whatever brand he wants. Shyne is overpriced though to me.
