yea it works great, actually its only a 10" fan and when is does come on its only on for a few min's at a time, and its rarely on...the shroud is completly sealed to the radiator and that is the only venting.
yeah, shrouds usually help quite a bit. I like it, glad you're painting it. Please, for the love of God, take that FRAM oil filter off and run something good: OEM Nissan, Purolator Pureone, Mobil 1, WIX, almost anything other than the orange FRAM filter.

super clean man. are those green things under your car subframe bushings? how do they ride if so? thinking of getting mine changed out. and on your first pics you have z32 wheels in the back. what's up with the offset on those? do they all fit like that or are you running spacers?

they are just the spacers, but not the ones that have the slit in them, you actually have to drop the sub-frame to put them on, and i havent driven the car since i put them on....i have spacers on the back b/c motegi touge's offset sucks...the 18x10 only come in +30....so for now i am using the spacers... and the s-14 and z-32 rims are only on so i can finish body work....

oh btw the color the car will end up in is Gunsmoke Metallic FLATZ!!!!

i agree.

i like your car man, but the origin agressive body kits look horrible to me, like snow plows.
