OK pps

I'm still having problems with the thermo fan on my R32 GTR

if I replace the fuse - the fan works fine for a while - and the car sits bang on 80 degrees

After a while (if I get stuck in Brisbane traffic), when the fan comes under a real load - it blows the fuse again.

My auto electrician is suggesting the fan may be shot. Under load it's pulling too much juice (too much resistance in the fan I suspect) and it blows the fuse.

Now - it's sounds like I need a new fan - so which one do I get

The Genuine Nissan item costs $450+ and needs to make it's way from the land of the rising Sun

UAS have one for $260 - but it does not look like it's a direct swap

Talk to me - what is the go-to solution here ?

is it blowing the fuse or melting the fuse? Popping the fuse means its a short but it sounds like yours is pulling too much juice and melting it! Maybe try re-wiring it otherwise yeah you might need a new fan i haven't really helped much huh.

I'd suggest an aftermarket Davies Craig. A 14" will set you back about $170 from memory. Just make sure you buy it from an car A/C mechanic not a parts store (eg. Autobahn) otherwise you will fork out probably twice that.

Cheers

Did the Thermo fan come with the car or was it replaced? sounds like it has a too hire current flow, or as some have suggested the wiring is shot. Is the fan run through a relay?

looks std to me - only about 10 inches tho

does not run via relay (that I can see)

I've check wiring at it looks OK (to me anyway)

will see if I can get an after market fan installed this week and let everyone know if this fixes the problem

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
