Whats wrong with speedflow fittings?

I swear I am missing something here

[bubba]

Too big, can't shut the bonnet

[turboedsloth]

I purchased some fittings of tufrx3 on here, he might be able to whip you something up. Or maybe 26 covers?

[bubba]

Might just ring the machinist I used to work with and see if he will knock something up, not hard I just don't have the tools to do it

26 covers would work but it's $_$ I don't want to spend right now and it would means pulling the cam gears off to get the RB20 backing plate off which I really cbf doing

[turboedsloth]

Ah roger, i would help out by getting them machined at work, but they are selling 3/4's of the machines in the workshop (kaaaaaarrrrrnnnnnnnttttssssssss!!!)

[bubba]

One should fall off the back of a truck into your shed

[turboedsloth]

Some of the machines are bigger than my shed, bbbuuuuuuuutttttttt after the hoist comes a lathe. Have been looking out for one, gota pay a visit to Hare and Forbes and Ron Mack i think. Some of the companies down here still don't give a f**k to making special parts so i'll do it "in shed-house"

Not exactly an R32, but Z32 is close enough!

Oo nice.

2 seater manual TT?

[3LGODZILA]

Ahh the R32 All Engines manual

I've got a 32 GTR workshop manual too which helps with a lot of the body/chassis/electrical stuff, it's GTR specific but GTSt is close enough in most aspects.

has it got wiring diagrams?

needa find the positive and negative for the fuel pump and cbf pulling out

Yes, I also have a more legible .jpeg of just the GTS4/GTR wiring diagram.

Bloody bigassed radiator makes the shroud not quite fit the fan

I fit a 52mm radiator into mine. Had to buy the thinnest thermofans on the market. Flex-a-lite

Powersteering line got in the way, had to make custom line and bend it off to the left.

[bubba]

I've had a 50mm radiator in there before but the tanks weren't this big, I'm going to move it on and go something more stock sized. I have two thermo fans on the front of the radiator but most definitely want to retain the engine fan and shroud.

yeah the cheapest option.

Tried to say some coin by buying a cheap radiator but got dudded for not fitting. Spent $500~ on thermofans and controller to make it all work haha

However, whilst crusing & spirited driving, water temps stay on 78degrees.

When come to a stop, thermofans programmed to start 1 fan at 50% when 82degrees. Doesnt move unless im stuck in traffic for ages. Might crawl up to 85degrees~. When reaches 89degrees, both fans turn on at 100% to bring it back down to 80degrees.

Nice setup, what controller are you using?

[turboedsloth]

What brand of radiator is that Rekin?

[Char]

with the 30det i have 52mm rad with the standard clutch fan plenty of room ovaboost were meant to use the twin thermo's i gave them but i guess they cbf and as most ppl will tell u the clutch fan is better than thermo's

[turboedsloth]

Mick would have done it for a reason. I had thermos in my 32 and we pulled them out when Mick was dynoing it, the clutch fan was way for efficient and cooled better than the thermos for some reason

[bubba]

That's why I want to keep the engine fan, the thermos on the front are just added insurance.

Char, pics please. This 52mm radiator I have would be fine if it didn't have tanks the size of Texas FFS! The tanks actually make it more like 70-75mm and it's way too close to the fan for my liking.

Anyone wanna buy it? probably fit in an S13 very nicely or a 32 without an engine fan
