Because the oil cooler is so close to the rad, the black magic e-fan does all the work properly!
Ill check for some more pics

I have made an aluminium undertray between fmic and rad. The oilcooler is mounted just 2inches in front of the rad, positioned in the center. I have filled the gap with bi-plex (pvc based material with Air channels. Light and strong) which we have at work, but simple cardboard would do the trck

Do you have stock oilcooler? Because then you have to make the same vents as in the stock undertray, otherwise temps will go up!
Tried this in the first place with stock cooler in stock position With a closed undertray and oil was 15 degrees higher

btw I used .25 gauge sheet metal I believe.
Oh and nice car. Serves as an inspiration to what I'm trying to achieve

It all has to do with airflow, low and high pressure areas. Mazda has tested this and made the undertray like that for a reason...
Dont know how it works exactly, i just know that i tried on stock setup with a closed undertray and temps went up.
I think it could work if you relocate the Stock oilcooler, perhaps by trail and error, to find the right flow passage.

My oil temps went down about 10*F while cruising (165*F constant while cruising) and my air temps dropped 10-15* too. NO TRACK temps tested yet since I am in break in still.
Pics below...not the prettiest thing but it is functional. I had NO factory ducting before.

how did you mod the 350z hood dampers? im interested in this conversion. i saw a video on youtube.com from EVO-R.net showing hood dampers on an FC3S. are they using their 350z dampers you think? they sell them for the 350z on the website but not for the FC, but theres a video of it.

i modified the brackets that were supposed to bolt to the 350Z hood and mounted them onto the hood hinges.
i made an aluminium spacer to extend the dampers so it bolts right to the oem fender boltholes

My RX is ready to go back on the road and track! :mrgreen:
this is what happened the last couple of weeks...
taken out the entire rear supsension
found out that my diff was ruined, because there are 12 teeth missing in total
25hours later i had a replacement low-mileage FD3S torsen diff
mounted the diff in my FC housing, replaced the seals and filled her up with redline oil.
refurbed the subframe
SuperNow main camber control links
PDR solid subframe mounts and lower control arm bushings
OEM vs TC-Sportline camber control arm

rear suspension reasembled, but due to the tight schedule to get the car running for the first trackday i decided not to paint/powdercoat everything
everything back underneath the car
did some cleaning and polishing under the hood
here they are, side by side, like father and son
