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

    • Yeah, the thread is only nearly 20 years old.
    • Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
    • Went to a drift practice day at a local circuit (held on the reserve parking area behind the grandstand) for the first time in about 15 years. Some kei cars were drifting as well, a not so surprising Suzuki Carry truck, and two 1st gen Daihatsu Copens that were converted to rear wheel drive(!) using Daihatsu Boon X4 transfer case, prop shaft and rear diff, obviously omitting the front driveshafts. They looked really fun to slide. I heard that they cost "about half" as much as a Nissan Silvia etc to run.  On the track 'Tech M' a local BMW tuning garage had a customer track day. Mainly recent models but there was one E36 which looked ancient among all the current models. It was cool watching the drifting and then turning around and seeing random people thrashing their M3/4s  central-circuit-drift-practice-2025-05-18-long-yt.mp4
    • I prefer it with those wheels (sacrilege?) 馃構 Here's a photo of a fully original one for reference. The price is $350K....
    • I would like to keep it around 15k but if I need more to make it reliable and not have to worry about the car breaking I can go more. It's my project car so I'm just trying g to figure out what needs to be in it i know basic things like turbo cams injectors I'm just unsure of the size and the specifics so I'm spending alot of time on Google and its mostly rb25 and rb26 not alot on neo
