What do you guys think about this topic.
I am interested in Picking up the Nismo kit, one because it looks pretty nice, and two because the opening in the front is huge compared the the 3x6" opening on the stock 93 bumper. I really like the car without a kit, but I did get a huge Monster Hybrid Intercooler, so my radiator will already be stressin. Also I don't want to chop my bumper all up to fit the intercooler...has anyone else had this dilemna and come to a conclusion?
Nismo Body Kit for air flow purposes
yea.. im in the same boat.. as ya can see in my sig.. i also got the Hybrid.. and its deffinitly putting strain on my radiator with that little hole.. 89-90 front bumper.. soo on the freeway the radiator doesnt get much air flow and the motor gets a lil hot.. i was thinking of just choping up my front bumper.. i even posted on the SR forum to see if anyone else has cut a bigger hole in their stock bumper, so i could see what it looked like before i did it.. didnt get any help.. so im kinda stuck also..
ohhh well our much more educated RB forum may answer our Q or give us insight-

I have seen a guy with a turbo KA in a 90 with his bumper cut out bigger. I did not like it much but hey what ever works. But about the air flow. I am running a 14 and 12 inch fan on the Koyo with the two little fake vents cut out with the radiator panel thing and mine has not got very much over 195 in the heat and stop and go traffic I see here in East county San Diego. When driving at around 70-80 it now stays just a little under 180. So for now I am happy with the stock look of the 90.
thanks for the reply hashi.. I am currently looking into something similar to what you may have seen that other guy do.. cutting out a portion of the front, covering it with a mesh grill and painting it... not sure yet if thats a little too ghetto for my tastes.. if it comes out looking alright I may go for it...
