hay boys thought id chuck up a foto of my gilmores on my a15 looks sweet im almost completly happy with the engine bay
they sound mint i just havent chucked my radiator in yet
which is probs a good thing so's im not temped to go for a thrash with no licence haha

stil undecided weather or not to run the original fan it wont look as cool

and what makes more noise that will drown out the gilmores? electric or original?

and do 120y and sunny radiators bolt up? could get one off a mate i just dont like the look of the big temp swith on my top tank?

ive flaged getting a alloy one but want one eventurly i cant find a c20 one either

its in your hands boys thanks

Hey man, I don't think the origanal looks bad! However you should Paint it black if you fit it!
I think electric fans are way louder...its like an electrical motor whinning sound. I'm guessing the origanal fan is noisey....but it's a more mechanical sound and would go well with the gilleys.
Nice bay btw!

I'd chuck an electric fan on.

If you want quiet electric fans use a factory one off something.theyre ugly but if you make a good shroud they can look allright and theyre waaay quieter than those after market ones

yea your not wrong aftermarket electric fans are rowdy as might chuck the original on then;
atleast for now and keep an eye out

as for radiators do they bolt up swapping between models? would a 120y 1 work?

i could get a radiator shop to gas weld up the hole for the temp switch on the top tank if they dont?

and also ive got this 5speed gearbox crossmember any ideas what sorta car its off?
its different to a couple others ive seen and has extra studs for the looks of a rear tail shaft crossmember or something?

Hey that cross member is off a s110 silvia notch back, i've just spent ages modifing my sedan x-member to fit my notch back cos i didn't think there was any x-members left around for them!!

and those extra studs are just for a bracket to hold part of the exhaust up

u serious random sory bro it lines up on the a series gearbox so might stil work for me if u can find me a normal 5 speed crossmember its yours

well ive got it all running again standard a12 fan cleaned up mint with a degrease as not as big as the a15 one doesnt make too much noise atall and i ened up taking the temp switch off the radiator and funnily enough my old crank bolt i couldnt use cause it was too short for the longer gilmore pulley pluged the radiator mint

black spray can later and were in busness

That Xmember looks to me to be a B310 one.
