hey guys... just been looking at replacing my clutch fan because after doing my radiator upgrade.. i can no longer fit my fan shrowed.. bummerr ay..

anyways iv tryed searching and cant find much at all. whats the differance in the two types of thermos?

i know the AU has offset fans and looks to me like 6 blades. the EL EF has 8 blades?

duz one flow better then the other? or duz one fit better then the other?

whos dun it and whos got some pictures to show all of us!

ones i get some information im going to install and take heaps of pics on the way for you guys!

Cheers.

i had some EL ones... actually i still have them if you want some to fit up.

the problem is the r32 p/s line that sticks forward of the pump.. it hits hard up against the fan body.. pushing the fan into the radiator..

i got away with it by only using one fan until i modified the line.. which was as simple as undoing it and turning it around a little bit.

i had no real dramas with cooling either.. i cut the shroud up and it fit the r32 radiator perfectly..

pm me if you want the fans.. $30 and $15 postage eh?? good condition, with a bit of shroud modification.

Sure you can't trim the shroud to get by?

I know some people have shaved it well enough to get by without issue.

As for the fans - the thicker edge/plated onces in theory would have higher static pressure to push more air.

But totally depends on the CFM rating of the fan @ what RPM... so really impossible to say just via pictures

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
