    M35 Stagea Viscous Fan

    in Wagoneers

    Posted

    I hope you don't plan on driving to spirited or on too hot a day. Thermos have been proven over and over again not to work on the m35. They just can't move anywhere near enough air in comparison to the viscous fan

    I can't remember that exact figure but the 16 inch Davis Craig Thermo that I installed moves somewhere around 2100cfm.

    I have done 7,000ks since installing and it has been through all sorts of driving conditions. I drove through the mountains near jamberoo on a 42c day and had no dramas. Not to mention a quick 6 hour trip out to condobolin in similar conditions.

    I would not post a write up on the set up if I was not 100% sure it works. The key to it working is the adjustable Thermo switch set up.

    If anyone on here installs the exact same set up on their car that I have and has any over heating issues afterwards, I will refund them out of my own pocket and come and reinstall the old viscous fan for them.

    Provided they have no pre existing cooling issues of course.

    Ok so.

    After 18 months of putting up with the noise, enough was enough.

    I've finally upgraded to a Thermo fan and ditched the old wind farm running off my water pump. (Viscous fan)

    For anyone that is interested it takes about an hour an a half but the only down side is, it costs about $320 retail or about $250 trade.

    If you are going to do this I highly recommend using Davies Craig parts and not cheap Chinese eBay crap.

    The parts I used were a 16" Davies Craig Thermo fan kit which retails for $230 on their website and comes with all the mounting accessories needed. Part # 0066 (flows over 2000 cfm)

    And the Davies Craig mechanical thermal switch combo which is $90 on their website. Part # 0400. It comes with a switch that can be adjusted from 40c up to 100c. It can be done without the thermal switch kit but with it, it makes life sooooo much easier when it comes to having the fan come on at the right time.

    It can be done very annoyingly with the radiator in the car but it is 1000000% easier if you take the radiator out of the car.

    If anyone needs anymore info just PM me and I'll be glad to help.

    Ps it is life changing.

    Bc's. $1149 delivered in 2-5days.

    S-tunes are the same price but you'll be waiting 2-3 weeks. I Don't know if they've changed them in the last couple of years, but the s-tunes in my r34 weren't height adjustable and didn't have the adjustable front tops.

    M35 A/c Controls Not Working

    Solved. If your a tight arse like me and choose to fit the stereo into the factory facia (rather than spending the $200+ on the after market one) both the air con controls and the stereo run off the same power supply (constant and switched) despite the individual wiring harness for each.

    I put a new pioneer head unit in yesterday with the aerpro plug and play adaptors and now the a/c controls don't work.
    Anyone had this issue? Don't have a lot of time to pull it back apart ATM so I'm hoping I can find an answer on here.
    Very frustrating considering the amount of time I spent making the head unit fit in the top pocket.
    Any help would be great.
