Hey,

Trying to keep temps down so would like to try a stock fan from a rb25 or rb26.

Currently have 2x 12" elec fans on a cheap alloy radiator, after i few hard mashes of the throttle, temp slowly rises.

Now,

Im just wondering what the differences between the two are?

I mainly interested in how far the fan protudes off the motor (i have minimal room between motor and radiator)

But any experiences with either fans accepted.

Thanks,

Dan

It will be the cheap ally radiator mate, I replaced mine with a stock GTR radiator and never looked back.

I was also running 2x thermo fans on the front (no aircon) as well as the engine fan.

Sorry, can't help with fan differences.

I found the cheap ally rad just heatsoaked horribly, after about 20mins on the highway the temp would start steadily climbing. Burnouts would get it hot enough to spit coolant everywhere.. put the GTR rad in and I could drop a 1-2min skid without throwing any coolant, temp never got over 105deg and would cool off reasonably quickly.

Something I have noticed with the newer engine fans is the blade count and design, must have been done for a reason :whistling:

Just a thought.. what water pump are you running?

i have a cheap alloy rad on mine no over heating issues, it dropped the temps and i had a GTR rad in there with 2 fans on the front, i still havnt put the shroud on either and its still sits below stock...... on another note my mate just had a similar problem for the last cupple of weeks wouldnt run right on startup sometimes and then slight heat issues at the track similar to your problem needless the say cyc 5 filled with coolant at the last track day so early days but dont rule out a head gasket issue

I wanna see where this goes. I experience occasional overheating in traffic.

I have a built RB26 in my GTT. Does anyone know if the stock clutch fan for a RB26 will fit?

FIT THE STANDARD FAN (the stock fAN AT 1500RPM WILL MOVE DOUBLE THE AIR ANY ELECTRIC FAN WILL.

same height.

32 gtr is straight blade and noisy. 33 and on is better.

This man speaketh the truth.

The stock fan will blow a veritable hurricane through your engine bay compared to thermos.

Been there done that. :down:

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
    • Ah coolant overflow, previous discussions make way more sense now lol.
