It shouldnt be a problem as long as your cooling system is working good and you have a upgraded radiator. I have a Greddy 24 RSPL with a Koyo radiator and see temps of 87-93 degrees Celsius on my E11.

Agreed, not to mention my **** is 4" thick and covers the whole opening for the oil and radiator.

Good question. I would think as long as your cooling system is in order, including your undershroud like turbo II FC suggested, you should be ok.

yeah, i have somewhat of an upgraded radiator, it has metel ends and is a little thicker then a stock rad, i dont know what brand it is, the car's from japan and it has no names or anything on it, kinda even looks custom....

whew, i was kinda worrying i might have cooling issues, i figure i'll change my coolant and add some water-wetter to be safe....

thanx guys....
