  1. Cool cars! Need more pics....
  2. Wow great work in here! Keep up there good work.
  3. It is a stock fan as far as I know. For now i just snipped about an inch triangle off the corners where it hit as a short term solution until I figure out the real problem. Even on the hottest days beating on it on back roads it didn't overheat so it shouldn't be a problem.Engine mount rubber looks to be worn down and compressed more than it should so getting a set i think would be a good idea.
  4. No and no but I'll give that a check thanks for the input
  5. On the way home from a meet recently i cracked my original 71' radiator and ordered a new Champion Radiator shortly after having assumed it cracked simply because it was old and bound to fail eventually. I installed the new one and drove around fine for about two weeks and the brand new one cracked and left me stranded once again. After a tow and some weeping I had that radiator I took that radiator out and noticed that there was the general shape of a half circle where the fan is. I then sent back and today got the exact same one back today which was apparently covered by warranty(the warranty supposedly only covered manufacturer defects). Is there something I am missing that is making the radiator crack? Is it possible that when i installed the radiator that I bumped it on the fan and weakened it enough that it would crack after some driving? Or did the fan move enough during the time it was running to hit and crack the new radiator? How much space is an acceptable gap between the fan and the radiator? Thanks in advance
  6. Your car choice is on point! I just installed a new radiator into my 240z and would be curious to how you mounted it with said rubber. I have heard to use rubber washers but it seems that would only help with forward/backward movement and not any other directions.
