Haha I loved how almost every car that broke when on the skidpad was a Skyline, or their mates had a Skyline there and thus were affiliated with the Skyline

Too late!....it takes up the opening you see at the moment [core size 450 x 180mm].

I agonized over heaps of sizes and went with what was suitable/practical???

My first IC was tiny so there was a need for something with more cooling.
