Might just ring the machinist I used to work with and see if he will knock something up, not hard I just don't have the tools to do it :(

26 covers would work but it's $_$ I don't want to spend right now and it would means pulling the cam gears off to get the RB20 backing plate off which I really cbf doing :P

Some of the machines are bigger than my shed, bbbuuuuuuuutttttttt after the hoist comes a lathe. Have been looking out for one, gota pay a visit to Hare and Forbes and Ron Mack i think. Some of the companies down here still don't give a f**k to making special parts so i'll do it "in shed-house" :nyaanyaa:

Ahh the R32 All Engines manual :P

I've got a 32 GTR workshop manual too which helps with a lot of the body/chassis/electrical stuff, it's GTR specific but GTSt is close enough in most aspects.

has it got wiring diagrams?

needa find the positive and negative for the fuel pump and cbf pulling out

Bloody bigassed radiator makes the shroud not quite fit the fan :/

I fit a 52mm radiator into mine. Had to buy the thinnest thermofans on the market. Flex-a-lite

Powersteering line got in the way, had to make custom line and bend it off to the left.

I've had a 50mm radiator in there before but the tanks weren't this big, I'm going to move it on and go something more stock sized. I have two thermo fans on the front of the radiator but most definitely want to retain the engine fan and shroud.

yeah the cheapest option.

Tried to say some coin by buying a cheap radiator but got dudded for not fitting. Spent $500~ on thermofans and controller to make it all work haha

However, whilst crusing & spirited driving, water temps stay on 78degrees.

When come to a stop, thermofans programmed to start 1 fan at 50% when 82degrees. Doesnt move unless im stuck in traffic for ages. Might crawl up to 85degrees~. When reaches 89degrees, both fans turn on at 100% to bring it back down to 80degrees.

Nice setup, what controller are you using?

with the 30det i have 52mm rad with the standard clutch fan plenty of room ovaboost were meant to use the twin thermo's i gave them but i guess they cbf and as most ppl will tell u the clutch fan is better than thermo's

Edited by Char

Mick would have done it for a reason. I had thermos in my 32 and we pulled them out when Mick was dynoing it, the clutch fan was way for efficient and cooled better than the thermos for some reason

That's why I want to keep the engine fan, the thermos on the front are just added insurance.

Char, pics please. This 52mm radiator I have would be fine if it didn't have tanks the size of Texas FFS! The tanks actually make it more like 70-75mm and it's way too close to the fan for my liking.

Anyone wanna buy it? probably fit in an S13 very nicely or a 32 without an engine fan :P

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
