eh?

why would you go else where....

autobarn sell davis craig...and repco sell recpo which is just the davis craig repackaged.

both are fine you just need to get a controller and sensor...i would recommend pivot.

you want cheap - go to any good auto elec and ask for 'oex' brand, good and cheap, davies craig is mid range and spal are top end.

where you located? OEX make EXCELLENT thermo switches which are cheap too, you after electronic switching or mechanical?

im using ICE thermos hehe... works well and use std R32 sensor/switch on rad

u guys do it all the hard way..

K.I.S.S

ICE thermos are made by OEX :wave: there the ones I was talking about hehe good value for money

thanks for the replies guys.

repco wanted to charge me $240 for a 16" straight blade.

supercheap had calibre 16" straight blade for $100

im on the southside so where is a good place to get these oex or ice thermos from? im looking to switch it electronically.

basically my clutch fan is stuffed and im looking at $140 upwards to replace it so was hoping to fit a 16" thermo in the stock shroud for around that price. less if i can.

ive searched and apparently the s shape blades are better which is why i stayed away from the straight ones i dont want to have issues with heat.

thanks alot

repco sell the ICE ones but put a horrible markup on it, kinda complicated to explain the ICE/Repco relationship though. PM me with your suburb and i'll tell you where to go :D

hmm $140. ill supply and fit a GTST hub fan for $60 interested.. :3some:

thermos are for E-W mounted engines.. and RB silvias :D

definatly could be interested. i just want to get rid of the f**king annoying whirring noise that im pretty sure the clutch fan is making.

i thought it might of been beneficial to go a thermo fan because it lessens the drag on the engine (yeah i know it probably makes bugger all difference.)

been reading mixed reports about going to thermos though.

I just installed a Twin thermo setup in a shroud. A bit of trimming and it's a perfect fit on a stock R33 radiator. A bit more trimming for a close fit Ally 50mm radiator. Came from a late falcoon for $200 from Autobarn (or less on trade). Used an in hose fitting for the 90deg on/80deg off thermal switch.

I just have to get the current draw right. It's pulling more than 30 Amps so fitting a new relay and stepping up to a higher fuse rating tomorrow.

I am looking at setting up twin thermo's from an AU in my R33 too, how have they gone in yours so far? have you got any pics of your handy work? was the thermal switch expensive?

the over temp switch in the r32 rad come on tooo late (90.c) but if u buy a temp switch of a mitubishi lancer/marage /magna (tridon part no TFS141 for around $30 which is a bolt in replacement and it comes on around 83.c

i use these all the time when i do rb conversions into silvias with 1x14in and 1x12in thermo fans on a r32 rad and never had any over heatin issues

well pm me mate.

may do cheaper.. lol

not much diff in going thermo. ull find it will prob over heat. and ull find that ur batt alternator has more load now. so ur car will load up more to charge. yay

cool thanks man, probably send a pm your way in the next couple of days.

as long as that annoying sound is gone at the end of it i'll be a happy camper

cheers

ohh cheers for that mate. ill keep that in mind. havent had an issue with the RB sil yet. its actually been more reliable than my older cars. ill look into switchin it next time i do one.

yeah, clutch fans are way more efficient at cooling the engine... get marki to check it out he's awsome at wat he does

thanks brenton.

hey u wanna come watch at the strip on wednesday night ill send ya a SMS.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
