just made this mod to my car & it has made a difference to the cooling of the a/c, i dont know how many degrees it has dropped BUT i can most certainly feel the drop in temp :P thanks cubes :D

tried this mod and it works like a charm but i decided to change the pressure switch ($73 and plus gas$50) and make the fan auto. but anyhow thanks very much for sharing it with us and 10 out of 10 for instructions.

took me a while, but I finally got around to it ;)

just to confirm for others. on R33 its the pin on the far left (driver's side) on both relays. Same as cube's original instructions for R32.

I found this pic on the internet.

diode1.jpg

It does look identical so I'd say yes.. Its the 1N4004

i havent put a diode in yet. the one above is rated at 400V 1A. Is 1A ok for this application?

ok, i've noticed something strange. r33.

if i turn my ignition on, but dont start the motor, then turn ignition off, my ignition lights stay lit.

after some poking around, i discovered if i disconnect this mod, and replace the relays as per standard, the problem goes away.

anyone else have this?

Did this Mod on my R33 yesterday but will see how it goes this week.

it looked a little bit harder than the R32 pictures but once you move washer bottle and undo the power cables (unplug battery in boot first) it help get under the relay.

I spliced into wire 2 on each relay (under the relay it will list what pin 2 is and then where that pin plugs into I spliced into that wire which was the left one for both)

I don't think this can be done on a R34. The 'blower' fuse is located inside the cabin. Can someone with a R34 comment on this?

I did it to my r34 gtt but I used the relay to kick in my electric rad fan relay ( aftermarket fan which ive done to many r32s aswell)

QUESTION: Will the fan get "burnt out" slowly wear out if the fans are turned on at speed ( 80-200kms) or would the wind speed going 200k on a "track" be nowhere close to the electric fan speed??? note extra fan is mount horribly through the rad core

cheers

Would also like to know if this works with R34 GTR, as my aircon is slowly begins to get warm when stopped at a set of lights on an extremely hot day, and cools down again when i'm driving, and my water temps seem to go up when i'm idling at lights but slowly comes down when i'm moving.

I know this is a bit old but I have found out a much simpler way to have the Rad fan kick on then messing with the relay box and installing a diode.

 

very simple, 

all you need to do is jump the over heat switch.

(This is a test jumper, I have an old temp switch I'll chop and solder as a jumper)

Fan will only kick on when you turn on the A/C.

this fan will only operate with the A/C system engaged.

With the A/C off it will not turn on if the engine runs hot, if it did the fan would always be on when the jumper is installed.

Best part is you can revert back within seconds

Whats up guys. So I have been trying to figure some stuff out before I do this mod. I know this thread is very old but maybe the GTR gods can help me out. From my understanding the aux fan comes when temps go over 90c. Does the fan come on only when the aircon is on or does it come on any time the engine goes over 90c regardless. I ask because my fan comes on without a problem when the aircon is on and it goes over 90c but it does not come on with the aircon is off. The service manual under the coolant section says to jump the plug just like the user before me did but it only comes on instantly if the aircon is on. 

I think I am having issue with the aux fan coming on independent from the aircon. I may be wrong so please correct me if thats not how it work. 

I have all the hardware to do the mod.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
