hey guy holding the fan with one finger is a bit of a worry is that when the car is at idle then fan slowed down or held down and car started at work the way i test viscous fan hubs as i let the car idle then get a bit of card board to try wedge it to slow it down if it slows down quickly means the clutches inside are knackered prob reason why when acclerator is stabbed the fan is not keeping up with speed of engin just slipping on the spot do the test see how it goes good luck with it mate

k i went out there with a bit of cardboard... started the car, popped the bonnet, stuck the cardboard on the fan and took about 5 seconds to stop it, held the fan while i revved the engine, it has a little bit of pull but nowhere near enough to knock my finger of the fan!!

The fan should have heaps of power behind it, or at least mine does.

yup that's correct - happened to my bunky before. the overflow bottle was boiling hot.

End up was a

1. damaged thermostat

2. something was stuck in the radiator - ended up flushing it

problem solved

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.

      I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?

      Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.

      Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
