Yeah dunno what to say. As my two runs from different workshops were almost identical. Anyway, dyno run, dyno bum. As long as the user is happy...lol
As for the FMIC Mat. As we know these kettles like to get hot. Would having something else in front slowing air flow to the radiator just make it run hotter. But, I kinda like the idea of W2A.
One day I might change mine.

If a front mount causes engine temperature issues then it is incorrectly sized or the problem lies in the cooling system. For the most part the problem will be in the cooling system. Frontal area is the biggest thing for a front mount.
Really keen to sort out my exhaust temps when towing and on the beach. Full rethink on it.
At this stage it's looking like the Borg Warner turbo coupled with an upgraded intercooler and airbox. If I can fit s front mount I can use the saved cash on the snorkel and airbox so keen on that.
The plumbing for the front mount is bloody tight though!!
My EGT's are high though anyway. Haven't seen over 400c yet, even with towing... One day I'll look more into it....
The cooling system on mine is well maintained. Better air flow I think it needs.
Your EGTS are or arent high?
Airflow is the biggest thing. This includes having all foam, curtains, splash plates etc in place to apply the appropriate low pressure zones where needed.
@nissannewby You Sir are a Bloody Legend!! That's how I envisaged the tubes would need to go but got pretty scared in the head. That helps allot but looks time consuming. Anything I do needs to be completed during a single weekend.
Yes my EGT get high all the time and easily. Not sure if I have a faulty Pyro and i am going to replace my Autometer gauge for a VDO I think just for peace of mind. A;so on the beach and when towing she gets warm and I'm keen to set it up better.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Mat I have either an Oil Cooler or a Power Steering cooler on the passenger side in front of the radiator, can this be easily moved? I note in the pics above you don't have one but there seems to be a fan removed and room for one to still be in position.
Do I need to rubber mount the front mount?

Yes its a power steering cooler. Its there in the photos I posted but has been moved to the drivers side. You dont have to rubber mount it. The fan thats removed is the one that switches on with the ac. have removed these before with seemingly no effect on the ac.

Aren't high. I would have thought.... Running around town they usually sit on around 250c and will climb to around 350 if I push it hard up a decent hill. I have all the foam and splash plates in except for the one around the steering box...
Nice pics too Mat. Something I would like to see too in the future. Either this or W2A.

Wow just did some ringing around for the Snorkel and Airbox!
Radius Fab
SS Snorkel $590 (Powder coated $690) (Ram Head $790)
Airbus (Round using a 4" pod element) $340
Total $1130 Plus Freight
Fatz Fab
SS Snorkel $970 (Powder coated $1080) (Ram Head $1225)
Box Airbox $660 with larger pod element
(Package of SS Snorkel and Airbox $1550) Plus freight
Total $1705 Plus Freight
Assuming the SS Snorkels are bloody identical i struggle to understand the price point for Fatz? $400 difference in the Snorkel? Really?
I see the Fatz Airbox is bigger but they both have 4" flow in and out. I like the larger element in the Fatz but is it worth $320 increase?
Anyone know where i can get a Panel filter airbox? Maybe i should make one?
@mudski what airbag have you got hooked up to our radius fab snorkel mate?
Is this just TD Tax?
