Anyone know of where to get a premade electronic thermo fan kit?? need it for R33 GTST RB25, im sick of replacing stupid clutch fans coz they crap themselves!!!

Hi mate,

I did the conversion on my r34, ive replaced my clutch fan with twin 12inch thermos, theres no kit on the market for the skylines your going to have to mix and match, i used AU twin thermos in mine then you have to cut the shroud to fit because i wanted twin 12inch thermos is a extremely tight fit and alot of messing around. Then you have to wire up a thermo switch which is also a bit of mucking around. I'm not going to say to do it unless you have a lot of time, and have a decent a mount of mechanical skills or have a lot of money to let a mechanic to do it cause there is A LOT of labor involved. But my system never sees half way even on a hot day with the a/c on full. Hope this helps a little.

:banana: Good luck.

What do you mean by "they crap themselves"? You would need to be very unfortunate to keep replacing a crap fan with an equally crap fan. What makes you say all your fans had crapped themselves?

haha R33 clutch fans are god. Use them on all the crazy SR's we build.

if you must go the thermo route like i did for room issues on the 26 conversion use Flex-A-lite part number 220

Hay can someone explain how the clutch fan is attached to the engine and what makes it spin, and also how it would stop working.

Does the clutch just seeze up or just ends up spinning freely ..

either they sieze up or start spinning with the revs of the car, or the blades snap off (had that happen once). Plus the stupid intercooler kit i got made me cut the inside edge off each blade so it didnt hit (that was the one that snapped) ive relocated the piping and spaced it so nothing hits anymore (or even comes close).

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
