Hey,

I've had a slight overheating problem on the track and I don't think any damage was done :D

I had an instructor driving and my fluid boiled (I didn't find out until we got back into the pits), I'm pretty sure I need a new viscous coupling for the fan, does anyone know where to get one in the South Eastern suburbs?

EDIT: R31 couplings fit so I'm getting one pretty cheap and will fit it soon.

Regards,

Gareth

was that yesterday? did you have chris in the car with you? :thumbsup:

Yes it was yesterday, yes I had Chris in the car with me, he was driving, he was doing a quick "couple of slow laps", which somehow turned into 4 laps and seemed pretty damn fast to me, I think he liked the car.

Oh, I compared the R33 fan coupling and the R31 it looks identical to me...

Looks like the "r33" compatible coupling which is the same as the R31 coupling that Bursons sold does not quite fit the R33.

When you put it on, which is extremely difficult (there is hardly room to get a finger in there) it hits the fan pulley.

So the only option appears to be to replace the bolts on the pulley and put some spacers to stop the viscous coupling from hitting the pulley.

Oh, the fan currently sits 2-3 cm away from the radiator so it wouldn't hurt for it to get closer :)

Also, the standard Nissan R33 fan does NOT fit the new viscous coupling, we had to buy a holden fan to fit it :D

I've got too many threads open on this issue, refer to does an R31 clutch fan fit an R33 GTR for further discussion.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
    • Yep four point harness. Mounted to a bolted in brace running behind the seats. Dont use it for daily driving tbh but good to have for when its needed plus it looks cool.
    • I had to double check the thread title r34 gtt offset advice lol. Thought maybe i posted on the wrong thread. 😂
