i will give it a go, im sure on my rotor the thermo worked fine, not sure what size the stock rb20 fan is, but must be around 12in.

if it dont work , i will just chuck a normal fan and shroud back on. probly going to leave the shroud on anyways.

damn some of your cars run hot, my r33 has stock fan and radiator with nismo thermostat and 1.3bar radiator cap and my average temp is 76 - 78 degrees, after hard long drives the most it goes to is 82, the hottest the car gets is when i turn it off and even then it only reaches 90 degrees maximum, usually around 88 depending on the day

Scarface,

Cooler isn't always better.

I believe SK stated a while back the RB's make the most power around 85degree's.

Best fuel economy is also achieved around the same 85degree's.

If you are running the stock ecu it will most definitely be pushing additional fuel in to the car when its running temp is under 80degree's. Which isn't a good thing. :S

Aftermarket ecu and tuned to suit the cooler running temp if you run a nismo cooler thermostat.

Mine sits between 75 - 80degrees, depending on outside temp.

Haven't had a seriously hot day and the laptop plugged in though yet.

I might be swapping to twin thermos soon aswell, and ditch the viscous.

Viscous = power sapping mongrel... :rofl:

Plus, it looks like it's about to explode...

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
