hey guys, well after all this screwing around we have found the issue i think... chasing a fan hub(for the fan that blows onto the radiator)

Seems i can hold mine with 1 finger while the car is running so shes screwed!

Needed asap... if you have one spare or layin around that you dont need, please pm me or give me a call

Now $470 seems a bit steep to me, so looking for a cheapy, as long as it works and fits, i dont care!

Go to toyota and buy 2 tubes of silicon oil ($10)

Pull your fan off and drill 2 holes in the meaty part of the aluminium.

Squeeze oil into hub (1 hole is to let air out) until it is full.

Spin the hub a few times to get any air pockets out.

Seal both holes with a couple of screws and teflon tape (white stuff plumbers use)

Reattach fan to car.

Drive!!!

Yes this works. Have done it on many nissan patrols (same fan) and on my r33.

This will not lock up the fan!!! It will still disengage when the engine is cool.

Cheers

JAMES

    • 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?
    • The plan is to get it out of the shed. The reality may fall some way short. But hope is as cheap as despair as they say. Will go a wide band I think. The coils are ok so maybe I’ll miss the $1500 on the R35 coils etc. Im still on the fence about a trigger kit. The HKS one looks nice ($1k) - not sure how it works with the Link or if Link prefer something else. Oil pressure is fine so I’m not that concerned there. Fuel pressure I’ll have a think about. The IAT got changed for the Link anyway as the old RB26 ones were really slow reacting and pretty poor. The Power FC just worked. Wasn’t terribly refined but it just worked. Probably made a mistake replacing it really. E85 isn’t available locally - it is 100+ kms away which puts it in the too hard basket. Lastly I understand Tunecorp in Perth are pretty good so was probably going there.   As for turbos is there are new age -5 drop in replacement? Turbos have come a long way in 20 years, everyone is big single which is fair enough but I prefer the old school complication of twins. Wasn’t chasing more power (well, not much more) but more efficiency would be ok.
    • I thought I'd share this....the shell is non genuine but they found or built a lot of the genuine parts. Plus, it is by far the best colour scheme of those years, the winfield once was particularly shit https://www.v8sleuth.com.au/written-off-inaugural-godzilla-recreated/
