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)

ahh k sounds good lol gonna go source one now the car sounds like a truck lol not cool already looks bad enough not being painted at the same time with black side skirts and a grey spoiler lol

yeah was gonna say look for a second hand one or look at getting the fluid inside replaced

dont quote me on this but im pretty sure it was around 50 dollars to get the fluid replaced. Im not sure where to get it done but

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
