It doesnt matter. I just thought it was funny and was pointing it out.

wat if you somehow rigged up a set of 12" thermos that draw the air from the front, i.e. thru the cooler then it passes from there thru the radiator? i know that i will have a special 4 sided box to fit where the A/Ccondensor used to be to pass the air thru the cooler straight to the radiator..... drift style

what i meant to say is, im going to remove the air con condensor, then make a guide for the air to be directed to the radiator, its so the air doesnt go around the radiator

2002!?!?! geez, i spose people are still talking about jesus, so this could be considered as a current topic, lol.
BTW, never heard of dry ice bombs, milk and chlorine works well too, just make sure you aren't within like 200 meters of it, lol, many a drain cover smashed with them.

hahahahah funny
but back to the topic, i did actually setup exactly what petros described in the first post on a mates VL. it was a real sh1tbox and didnt quite go as hard as it shoulda, think the turbo was shagged probably dead injectors too...
the owner was always keen to be faster than his mates cars (particularly a n/a 2jz supra, which was quicker than a stock VL any way) and so when i upgraded the cooler on my 200sx, i gave him the little baby stock cooler that i took out. fitted it up under the airbox, and it made it feel a litttttle quicker. upped the boost and again a bit quicker. but with the single legger it was stuggling to beat the n/a supra's LSD launches.
one trip to bunnings gardening isle and a few bucks later we had a water spray setup off the wiper washer tank with some 1/4 spray nozzles aimed at the cooler... bit of tape holding the washer button down, and hey presto, started to pull away fairly convincingly from the supra, running about 13-14psi tho :\ which i didnt recommend.
