Engine Fan Clutch Hub

[sky30]

Anyone here in SA got a clutch hub for the engine fan to suit RB20det, i think RB25 is the same (not 100% sure) that they would like to sell?

Or can anyone recommend a place to get 1?

Cheers

all the same, I'm running the whole clutch/fan assembly from an R34 RB25DET on my S15, my old 180SX had an R33 fan, they bolt straight on

Hey Andrew,

You can buy the hub new from any auto store for around $140. I believe the one to get is the VLT/R31 hub. The VL N/A hub is different, smaller from memory.

I'm currently running a VL N/A fan; its slightly smaller, less blades and slightly louder but I had it sitting in the shed and doesn't have any overheating issues so I'm leaving it on until it starts to leak.

Yeah i tried one off the VL, the N/A one is alot smaller fan with less blades so i figuerd it wouldnt cool aswell. What temp does yours reach say sitting on the highway at 100kmh on a 30degree_+ day?

100km/h mine sits around 85degree's on a 30+degree day. Hit the a/c and it will creep to 87 but no more but mine does the same on a cold day.

I did have an aftermarket thermostat in it and made it run quite a bit cooler. In the low to mid 70's. But it took too long to warm up so I grabbed a new nissan thermostat and dropped that in to it.

In traffic it can creep to 90degree's but no more; prior to replacing the a/c fan with a 14" sblade fan and wiring the fan to come on when I hit the a/c button it would slowly creep to 100degree's in peak hour traffic when sitting around in what the amb button says 60degree's for a good 30+minutes.

Temps are stable and hardly vary be it cold or warm. They are always anywhere from 83-87degree's depending on load and road speed.

Ash, is that using the VL fan aswell?? N/a unit?

[Cubes]

Andrew,

Sorry Ash.. but Andrew yeah its the n/a fan.

The RB30e N/A hub and fan can't be interchanged with the 8blade VLT/R31/R32/R33 etc Fan/hub. Simply won't fit.

I'll be trying a set of thermo's again once this hub starts to leak. I wouldn't mind pulling the rad out taking it to a wrecker and trying to match something up out of a fwd nissan thing. No doubt something will match and cool sufficiently. Years ago I ran 2x12" fans directly on the rad without a shroud, it was fine in weather like now but as soon as it reached over 35degree's amb with the a/c on and in traffic for 30mins+ the temp would creep and not stop. :S

and are GTR the same?

Nissan want 420 (!) for a genuine one!!

[Cubes]

I'd assume so.

The one I looked at had R31/R32/R33/VLT on the box.
