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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
