What bullbar is that? It is very restrictive of airflow. It nearly looks custom made. What year is your rig again Mark? @MB

G'day NNB :-)
The bar came on the car complete from WA. Have seen similar getting around over there of late since working to and fro. Pictures may be a bit deceiving in the dark pic as it does have 2 x lower holes but they deflect downwards too:-(

It is very different to most I have seen. The genuine bar that is fitted to my ute is a lot nicer for flow. And visually looks a lot different to that one. The biggest thing for any cooling system is airflow. You can have the biggest radiator concieved but if you cant get air flow through it then it wont stay cool.

Too true, Cheers Mat :-) !

Only 2 x setup differences since last seasons mods. 1st being AC Delco TS's that showed great stability over warm high headwind winter runs to SA. 2nd being the recent test removal of the bar/lights/winch that came with it at purchase a few years back. Swapped our factory alloy bar onto it and ran some 10-15% cooler than known before.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/11/181.jpgPic below was its original bar & kit now on our family wagon. The family rig doesn't have a real temp gauge yet but is today running the same hill at 3/4 instead of its usual 2/3rds tops! http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...016/11/182.jpgIt is all very logical stuff I know but really needed to see the difference myself before saving/spending too much on next bullet proof hopeful steps!

This is something I am concerned about. In front of my radiator I have the AC condenser, a cooler coming off the power steering and what looks to be an oil cooler ( these are on the drivers side of the radiator, then on the passengers side a thermo fan.

Seems to me that getting air to the radiator is almost an impossibility.
