Hey just wanting to know how anyone else with one of these has wired it up. I have a set of EL thermos in and have wired up the STC differently to the instructions. It says to wire up the fan signal wire to the ecu but since I have aftermaket fans I have ran the wire directly to the fans via a relay setup.

Now the temp signal into the controller is via the ecu where it utilises the stock temp sender as I have used the provided temp sensor which is used for the oil temp. The switches on the back have been set to the Nissan setting aswell. So I set the fans to kick on at 80 degrees to test and once it reaches that... nothing. I used my test light and found the is no power coming from the fan signal wire (white) straight from the controller... I just wonder if it is stuffed or im doing something wrong... it was new out of the box too.

I have also tried wiring up from my temp sensor for my water temp gauge up to the controller but that was doing something weird with the gauge and didnt work. I also set the swtches on the back to the right setting for use with a temp sensor.

Any ideas as whats going wrong?

scrap the entire fan controller.

On the bottom RHS of you radiator is a fan switch which triggers once water temps pass 90 degrees, this triggers the aux fan that sits in front of your radiator.

Now, what you want to do is replace that fan switch with one that triggers at a lower temperature and the perfect on would be from a misubishi lancer or mirage 1.5L which triggers at 82 degrees.

use that a parallel an extra negative trigger wire into your relay setup. Easy.

I wish it was that easy but its not. I put a 52mm alloy radiator recently and from that the clutch fan had to have about 3mm ground from the end of the blades as it hit the radiator. Worst thing was the shroud could not be used at all so thats what made me go thermos... that and my aux fan has never worked!

For now I have just wired the fans upto a switch but would like to get the controller working... just wanting to know if anyone else has wired these things direct to thermos before and how they did it. The only thing I can think of that its stuffed... but everything else is working?? Cant understand whats wrong.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
