I'm curious if anyone else is running a clutch fan in an RB26 converted S14 or S15 chassis using Syko Performance or similar (lowered) mounts, and if so, what did you end up doing about the radiator fan shroud? Because the engine sits lower than the stock position in relation to the radiator, the fan blades hit the bottom of the OEM one.
Just figured I'd ask before I start cutting up a brand new Skyline shroud.

Every one I've seen has been converted to electric fans for ease of maintenance and fitment. Hacking the shroud will reduce it's efficiency unless it's "fixed" after clearance is achieved.
