Yes sir. It just doesn't get optimum cooling sandwiched between the ic and radiator. Especially since I'm not cutting the bumper opening larger.

You going to vent the fender liner?

Yessir! The pump is controlled by one of the switches I installed in the center console so I can have ice-cold comfort on command. New CoolShirt came today too.

The only downside to this system is that I try not to stop at crowded gas stations, because after rolling out of exiting the Z I have to stuff a large, black hose down my shorts...

I got an e-mail the other day on a new system. Doesn't use water. The unit weights 11 lbs. And I deleted that e-mail too.

Hadn't thought about that but that may not be a bad idea.

Think it was the Nismo oil cooler that mounted in front of the tire. There is a thread on it that people was venting the fender liner. Cutting holes and then glue screen over the holes to keep rocks out.

That really isn't a bad idea at all. I'll talk to the shop tomorrow. Thanks!

Think there was a vented fender liner with slotted vents for sale at one time.

When I bought the car, it was so low that when my guy was driving from Texas to California, one of the fender liners got completely ripped off. He's got new ones to re-install. Now would be a good time to install vents. That's an easy mod.

A little dremel work, some screen, some backing/framing plate, a few rivets, and you're good to go!

I can definitely see how carting around 50 lbs of ice on the track would be less than beneficial.
