BNT bud..

Nah mate im mint at high speed ,cool as a t1000 . I find that warm day and lowbox im on the boader line . warm day = delta T is shite, meaning not enough available cool air onto your radiator. lowbox = lack of airflow over said radiator compounding matters.. long story short, a better shrouded fan ...

I do happen to have a solid spade at my place. It's not a bad one.

Mean guys. Have an awesome one and do keep us up to date if and when ya can. Epicness will ensue for sure!!

White 70? Tell me more...

No seats sorry Heath.

Running gears still holding up mint. Chromoly front end is sound as a pound and ARB lockers still actuating nicely. It's all still sweet as really. Woot! Odd really with such a menacing powerhouse engine crankin hardcore horsepower...

So have been using the fawdy for a while and it's still a fun junker. Thought I'd add a pic of the newly acquired treads.. Bit of flex testin with clearances to check.. 40's on the fawdy...

awesome little write up.. woot!

It's not failing. It's just trying to get away from the rest of the dirty ole Nissan...
