so i purchased a low profile 12 inch thermo fan off ebay, to make space for my intercooler. It looks "ok".... nothing to special. the mounting instructions are what gets me, ive never seen any thing like it.

Basically they give you four long flexible "nylon bolts" they call it.... and tell you to leaver your radiator fins open with a screw driver and push these long nylon bolts directly through the radiator fins. and slip this plastic nut over the back of it to hold it in place. lol.... i dunno about you guys but it all sounds a bit suspect? any one heard of such a thing?

Hey Clint, use them if you want, but you don't have to.

I think I read you bought the HDI intercooler kit. It comes with brackets to fit the fan to the stock mounting points.

See what works for you!

cheers,

I was just stressed about how strong they would be last thing i want is for them to snap and then the fan ends up as some new undiscribed part of my susspension .

as for the thickness its about 60 mm but its kinda cone shappedwith the thickest part right in the middle of the dc fan motor (@ 60mm) and the outer edge being the thinest (@ 40mm) iether way im sure it will work as it will sit flush with the radiator. bigkevracer thanks mate ill sus those brackets out as well I think.

Sorry to bump an old thread but i have just ordered a HDI Intercooler and remembered seeing somewhere a link to thermo fans people used for the job.

From memory it was

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Performance-Chrome-12inch-Thermo-Fan-Electric-Fan-120watt-12volt-12v-/261041810142?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc74deade&_uhb=1

I assume any universal 12 inch will do the job but if people had one they preferred over another drop me a PM pls.

Cheers for any advice

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
