FMIC - water temps?
I think as long as you've got a thicker rad, and if you remove the aircon rad ect you'll be fine, I've got a thick rad will be running a front mount aswell aircon rad and fan removed and probably stick with viscous fan and may chuck in an electric fan to aid things

Yep not spinning that much on idle was just trying to say without writing an essay lol yep stopped one once when was leaning on the slam panel and finger caught the fan lol,

FMIC - water temps?
The viscous fan does run all the time if you open the bonnet when on idle it's spinning as it connected to the water pump pulley driven by a belt connected to the crank pulley, if you rev the engine the fan will speed up with the engine rpm, it also runs constant it sucks in loads of air as the fan shroud pulls it towards the engine,

Alot of people ditch the viscous fan as they zap power but for the amount it actually zaps its not worth it, the viscous fans are great at keeping temps down the design is great really

hks looking exhaust
I've been looking for a single exit for ages now couldnt find anything I've ended up buying an apexi n1 from a skyline and I'm just going to mod it to fit mine
-
brake lines
Ok so maybe not the easiest job in the world but not as hard as it looks, I already had my subframe off, do one pipe at a time so you remember where it connects to do t just start removing all the pipes at once, as your dropping your subframe slighty this is a good time to check the condition of the subframe bushes if they haven't been checked before
-
brake lines
I made all mine up replaced every pipe took 2 roles of copper pipe already had flaring tool ect, and about 10 3/16 male connectors to fit into the original female connectors then took a few hours of my time, real easy job Of course you'll need brake fluid aswell, and either a bleeder kit or someone to give you a hand when it comes to bleeding them

Exhaust
Ok so since I've not been able to find an exhaust I like I've bought an apexi n1 from a different car, I'm going to mod it to fit the 300, The thing is all the exhaust pipe on eBay is 3inch outer diameter and I want 3inch internal, or do you think as I'm making it myself I should go a little bigger and if not where can I get 3in id pipe from Paul

BCR Coilovers
I think 4kg/6kg is the most common it is on 200's anyway(I know there lighter) this gives a comfy ride with stiffening things up enough for uk roads, the higher rates are normally used for track and drift

Cambelt help
the right hand cam pulleys line up now, the pulleys on the left you line the belt lines up with the pulley notch thats means its slightly out by the backing plate which is right, then the crank lines should all line up but for some reason its not, its the crank lines that are stopping me from finishing it off

Yea I've lined the belt and sprockets up the right side line up with the back plate and the left side are a little out, now when it comes to the crank marking on Jeffs right up the cambelt line and dot and marking on oil pump all line up, but for some reason the mark on the cambelt on mine is a tooth out as I showed in the pic, can't work out why though
