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

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
