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.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
