what front mounted radiators are you guys running? whats a decent type, once the snow has tailed off i'm gonna go scrappyards & have a look for somat suitable, preferably the inlet & out let on the same side, ie the right hand side when viewing the car from the front SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the other reasan i thought of this position is that i could make use of the old rad mounting bracker for the intercooler but put it in at a januty angle to gain airflow from the front if you picturing what i am, maybe with some sort of sheet alloy to duct air 2wards it, i've a few ideas in my head to make some simple stuff up which i think will work SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

How many of you are having to use a remote oil filter then? Looking at mine theres no room for fan on the back (suck through) without moving the oil filter, and the grill would have to be moved forward for a blow through? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
