yeah because bigger is always better HUH................................................................................................................. not :P LOLz

i'm finally going to fit my twin 14" thermo fans and remove the engine clutch fan but i'm wondering about what controller to use.........

just a simple thermostat, relay setup or is there a proper fan controller than has a temp display and everything.

cheers :)

The one that I got from Scotty seems fine so far, the only downside to the surface mount thermocouple is just that; it's not in the water.

It does seem accurate; the issue will be ensuring it reads the water temp correctly.

Something with a BSP style thermocouple would be ideal though.

I'm running each fan with its own fused 30A relay (only running 20A fuse per fan though), then triggering those with another relay activated by the controller.

The kit comes with a 60A relay to use; but after seeing my supposedly 40A relay and it's wiring cop a hiding recently; doing them separately is better for peace of mind (unlikely to pop both fuses).

I'd also look at putting a barrier in the shroud between the two fans, so that if you want to switch them separately; you can.

Also, if one fails you won't be pulling dead air through the other fan and back out; rather than through the radiator.

That is the one I just bought, it has two sensors and can turn the fans on with either temp I think. Not as good quality as the other one I sold Dale though by the looks of it but I won't know how it works for another few weeks.

fitted the rear chassis brace this morning and done a run through Macquarie Pass and i like it alot, i also adjusted the rear shocks to the same stiffness as the front and what a great result they both made, got rid of the understeering problem i was having so hopefully through the faster corners its alright too!!!

having a 2tonne boat that understeers sucks so now im happy as its given me a bit more confidence in the car as it feels so much better allround!!!

  • 2 weeks later...

just done a brake fluid flush with castrol high performance/race Dot 4 fluid and put the track rims on (18" stockies with Federal 595's).

tommorrow i'll get a wheel alighment and get all the parts to fit the power steering cooler............ suggestions welcome, i'll be heading to rocket midday to pick it up.

and still waiting on the sammich plate and then i can buy the rest of the gear to put the oil cooler in aswell ready for the track day on the 1st of Dec!!!!!

busy day tomorrow but luckily its my day off!!!!!!!!!!!! hehe

I just picked up a small trams cooler, bar and plate, that my local Repco were clearing out.

Apparently bar and plate you can go smaller than tube and fin, so mine is pretty small, just cable tied onto the mesh in the lower part of the aero bar.

Then when we ran the hose to the power steering pump, put this spring stuff on the hose so it would do an almost 90 degree bend without crimping, put joiners in the hose and connected the new hoses to the old.

Easy, and if there's ever a problem I can just disconnect the cooler and reconnect the stock lines.

Cooler got very warm at the last track day but there were no problems at all.

What are you doing for an oil cooler? Got the plate sussed just trying to work out where to mount a cooler, and your config should be the same as mine.

There's room to the side? With a thermo fan?

I will eventually move the steering cooler above the FMIC, was going to put the trans cooler against the radiator, behind the FMIC.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
