Yes Frans I agree, and it makes sense to keep a vehicle standard. Mine had two fans if I remember correctly, I removed both as the intercooler took all the space and even a bit more.
I thought that this would impact my aircon performans allot, but it actually still works very well at low vehicle speed.
As for engine temp, it runs very good in my opinion. I drove from PTA to Rochards Bay this morning and highest EGT was 622 and highest water temp was 98deg, boost is running at just short of 1bar

Nee genade kerêls vir die speletjie het ek nie geld nie. Eks mos ñ DIESEL man tot die einde moet juis my radiator op ou isak vervang. Wat die 4.8 betref was dit bloot ter nuskierigheid en om opinie te hoor. Dit klink wragtig belowend en asof dit ñ heerlike toy kan raak maar die 4.8 is mamma sin, ek wil wel graag sy uitlaat verbeter en hom op ñ dyno kry dat hy presies gestel kan word. Ek vermoed nissan het destyds met die nuwe petrol pomp droog gemaak maar wat dit was waarborg. Michael eks bly om te hoor jou wa bly nou so lekker koel het jou thermostat mod maw. dan gewerk??
