Thermo fan r33

Hi there,

My car has had it removed prior to purchase. I’ve since put a new radiator in the car, completed a series of coolant flushes.  At the back end of summer I drive in stop start traffic in high ambient temps, however even with the air con running the temp never exceeded 1/2 on the temp gauge. 

 

If there’s no signs of overheating, is it ok to run without the AC fan provided you keep a good eye on the temp gauge?

The short answer is yes.

The Nissan alloy radiators are pretty efficient.

I've got a custom 95mm front mount inter cooler on my R33 mounted vertically in front of the radiator with the original front AC fan removed.

I too thought it would over heat but even in summer on a 40 degree day it had no problem even with the AC running flat out.

Eventually though, for piece of mind, I installed two 10 inch thermo fans hooked up to the original wiring so it switches on as per normal when required

Thanks Plynx, still no sign of overheating so I’ve left it without that fan
