Hey i heard that with the RB you have to use pusher fans on the outside of the engine bayDoes anyone know about how much room there is between the front of the motor to the radiatorAnd both with the skyline Xmember and with the mckinney or whoever makes the s13 Xmember mountsThanks

We used puller fans. I've heard the pushers don't work that well. We used flexalite ultra slim dual fans and had to chop a bit to get it get it to clear the crank. There isn't that much room at all. If your cheap do what we did. If your a pimp and have the flow get the mounts they're supposed to place the engine further back.

even with mounts, slim line pullers is the best you are going to get. Look at my pics under Member's rides. I had the stock radiator with pullers, and now the Koyo with pushers. I am using mckinney mounts, so you would have even less space without mounts.

I don't remember the brand, but I got them at Autozone. I think $50-60 each.
