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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
