Hey Andrew,

You can buy the hub new from any auto store for around $140. I believe the one to get is the VLT/R31 hub. The VL N/A hub is different, smaller from memory.

I'm currently running a VL N/A fan; its slightly smaller, less blades and slightly louder but I had it sitting in the shed and doesn't have any overheating issues so I'm leaving it on until it starts to leak.

Hey Andrew,

Yeah i tried one off the VL, the N/A one is alot smaller fan with less blades so i figuerd it wouldnt cool aswell. What temp does yours reach say sitting on the highway at 100kmh on a 30degree_+ day?

100km/h mine sits around 85degree's on a 30+degree day. Hit the a/c and it will creep to 87 but no more but mine does the same on a cold day.

I did have an aftermarket thermostat in it and made it run quite a bit cooler. In the low to mid 70's. But it took too long to warm up so I grabbed a new nissan thermostat and dropped that in to it.

In traffic it can creep to 90degree's but no more; prior to replacing the a/c fan with a 14" sblade fan and wiring the fan to come on when I hit the a/c button it would slowly creep to 100degree's in peak hour traffic when sitting around in what the amb button says 60degree's for a good 30+minutes.

Temps are stable and hardly vary be it cold or warm. They are always anywhere from 83-87degree's depending on load and road speed.

Andrew,

Sorry Ash.. but Andrew yeah its the n/a fan.

The RB30e N/A hub and fan can't be interchanged with the 8blade VLT/R31/R32/R33 etc Fan/hub. Simply won't fit.

I'll be trying a set of thermo's again once this hub starts to leak. I wouldn't mind pulling the rad out taking it to a wrecker and trying to match something up out of a fwd nissan thing. No doubt something will match and cool sufficiently. Years ago I ran 2x12" fans directly on the rad without a shroud, it was fine in weather like now but as soon as it reached over 35degree's amb with the a/c on and in traffic for 30mins+ the temp would creep and not stop. :S

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
