I am looking at replacing my stock clutch fan with a twin thermo set up and these have caught my eye.

R32 Fan Shroud

If I go down this path I will use the Jaycar kit # KC5381 to control the twin fan setup.

found @ Jaycar

Can anyone vouch for these units or are they just a waste of time and money?

Cheers!!!

best thing I ever did to my 32GTR cooling wise was go back the stock setup

much more consistent for track days an just general driving around but mostly trackdays

that said the thermofan setup put on by a previous owner was shithouse

would be very interested to hear if you get this what sorta quality it is an if you have good results?

agreed.

But those rad shroud kits are a bit dear (can get rad and setup for that price from ASI on ebay)

for a fan controller use this, it is the best ive used full stop. http://shopdrift.com/Products/D1-RFCD12V/R...troller12V.aspx

Nice controller!

Are those ASI radiators any good?

depends on the model car, they are cheap so dont expect much but so far no major issues (except AE86, we've used about 10 so far in diff cars), i wont be putting one in any decent track cars though. We flow tested a ASI GTR version against the KOYO and greddy ones and they were a long way behind (i think the ASI (and most cheap china rads) top and lower tanks are too small)

Well after a bit of research I have decided to go and build my own shroud and use 2 x 12 inch 1000 cfm fans from Davies Craig.

If it all goes pear shaped I'll just buy a new fan clutch from Davies Craig and retain stock setup.

Will be a bit of a challenge to get it right but that's what its all about.

Will post a few pics once done.

Fair enough, I had one of those Mspec ones from the groupbuy ages ago and not really happy with it. Going back to the 32R radiator, keeping engine fan, twin thermos on the front, have removed aircon and will be going slightly nuts with the ducting.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • 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
