Over the last few days ive fitted up twin AU thermal fans to my GTST (pig of a job didnt just bolt up like i was led to believe, lots of cutting and bleeding and swearing!)

What i want to do is drive them off my Link G4 (plug in) the relays and hardware side is all done I just want to know which wires are GP outputs that i can use to drive low at set temps to switch on the fans ( i want to switch one on at 76 odd and the other at 84)

I have the expansion cable plugged into the ECU but it seems that it only has digital inputs and a 5V output?

So my question is, can i use the expansion cable to to drive the fan relays or do i have to tap into the ECU loom and use two spare GP O/Ps and if so what wires are they (colour of the wire and pin No would be awesome)

Id ring the link guys and ask them but there not open atm and i need to get this done tonight so i can drive to work tomorrow!

cheers shaun

Sorted now cheers to those that helped!

I got a pin for the ecu from jaycar today and ran it off the inj 8 aux line (pin 6), works a treat.

Ive set it up to come on at 87 with a hysterisis of 5deg and it seems to work fine (runs up to 87 fans come on for about a min then cycle off again, sitting at idle it cyles on for a minute on then off for two or three)

Average cruising temp is around 85.

thanks again for the help

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
