Japanese Mods; series resistor and ground cables

[Sebastopol]

I was at J-Auto and saw some interesting mods that I thought I would share;

They placed the Series Resistor for the aux fan in the cooling path of the radiator, to move it away from the engine heat was the motive.

They also used significant amounts of grounding cable

Relocating the fan resistor is a great idea. This is similar to the factory location on the 140 chassis. (I'd prefer converting to a factory electric fan with PWM controller, which eliminates the need for the resistor, but that's far more complicated and expensive.)

I've seen the grounding cables on other cars in Japan. I don't quite understand what the benefits are supposed to be.

Note the car in the photos also has a customer aluminium radiator...

JAuto also uprated the brake systems, and coffee cup holders,.. pics attached

I am now excited to be able to visit J Auto on Monday May 6 and see all the good stuff and cars on display.
