hey guy holding the fan with one finger is a bit of a worry is that when the car is at idle then fan slowed down or held down and car started at work the way i test viscous fan hubs as i let the car idle then get a bit of card board to try wedge it to slow it down if it slows down quickly means the clutches inside are knackered prob reason why when acclerator is stabbed the fan is not keeping up with speed of engin just slipping on the spot do the test see how it goes good luck with it mate

k i went out there with a bit of cardboard... started the car, popped the bonnet, stuck the cardboard on the fan and took about 5 seconds to stop it, held the fan while i revved the engine, it has a little bit of pull but nowhere near enough to knock my finger of the fan!!

The fan should have heaps of power behind it, or at least mine does.

yup that's correct - happened to my bunky before. the overflow bottle was boiling hot.

End up was a

1. damaged thermostat

2. something was stuck in the radiator - ended up flushing it

problem solved

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
