hey guys well haveing a bit of a problem in the past few days have noticed my thermo fan is staying on ?the car sounds like a truck and i noticed the running temp is alot lower than normal soo not really sure what i could be because i know the fan is mechanical and runs from the motor any ideas what maybe causing this?

your fan clutch could be farked ... you will notice your fuel economy worsen very soon. New ones are about $220-250 from memory (not Nissan but aftermarket, some joint in Melb iirc sells them) Definately change the thermstat if you haven't in a while ..theyre cheap

I wouldn't bother .. new one is $200 .. easy to remove. It's that big chunk of metal that sits just behind the radiator fan (that spins the fan) - just 4 studs holding it.

ahh k nice any do u mean replace the whole fan ? or?

You don't need to replace the "fan" unless it's broken. The fan is bolted on top of the "fan clutch" which itself sits on top of the water pump pulley ... you just need the "fan clutch".

It's that chunk of metal that your plastic radiator fan is bolted onto ie. http://www.google.com.au/images?hl=en&...330&bih=935

Here you go .. http://www.daviescraig.com.au/Fan_Clutches...65-details.aspx

but that's for R34 GTT .. probably same for R33 but if you want, give them a call and make sure.

EDIT: come to think of it .. I still have my old one which works perfectly, you can have it for $50 and if it doesn't fit I'll take it back. I only changed mine in an elimination process amongst many other things whilst trying to reduce my fuel usage. (turned it was just the coilpacks + 40psi tire pressure gave me a drop from 17l/100Kms to 13l)

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
