Over the last few days ive fitted up twin AU thermal fans to my GTST (pig of a job didnt just bolt up like i was led to believe, lots of cutting and bleeding and swearing!)

What i want to do is drive them off my Link G4 (plug in) the relays and hardware side is all done I just want to know which wires are GP outputs that i can use to drive low at set temps to switch on the fans ( i want to switch one on at 76 odd and the other at 84)

I have the expansion cable plugged into the ECU but it seems that it only has digital inputs and a 5V output?

So my question is, can i use the expansion cable to to drive the fan relays or do i have to tap into the ECU loom and use two spare GP O/Ps and if so what wires are they (colour of the wire and pin No would be awesome)

Id ring the link guys and ask them but there not open atm and i need to get this done tonight so i can drive to work tomorrow!

cheers shaun

Sorted now cheers to those that helped!

I got a pin for the ecu from jaycar today and ran it off the inj 8 aux line (pin 6), works a treat.

Ive set it up to come on at 87 with a hysterisis of 5deg and it seems to work fine (runs up to 87 fans come on for about a min then cycle off again, sitting at idle it cyles on for a minute on then off for two or three)

Average cruising temp is around 85.

thanks again for the help

      Weird compression after rebuild

      Yeah. air pressure leakdown test is where I would be headed next here, using one's ears to determine whether it's the valves or bores/rings leaking...

      More likely you didn't bed the rings in correctly and have glazed the bores. Running with misfires on a fresh build is somewhat of a no-no. Surely no-one "smoke tests" the combustion chamber? That's what a leakdown test is for. Smoke testing is, um, a bit of a wank at best, and only really useful for external pipework.

      Attesa pump mount options / ideas? R32 gtr style.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, obviously that kit is not a relocation kit or anything other than just the original isolators and the like. I would suggest that it should be a matter of just bending up some flat bar to build a mount over the top of some other diff, with the flat bar held to the back of the diff by the rear hat bolts. A little welding, a little thinking about how to secure the front of this structure, maybe some different hoses in case you can't get it in just the right place.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Pay diff/trans workshop to do this.   Nope. Z32 turbo ran R230 with 6 bolt GTR style axles. All other Z32 were R200. Basically same same as other R32 stuff. All were a viscous waste of space.

      So, I'm not a diff swapsies specialist, but I am pretty sure the 300zx ran an R220 not and R200 like the C34 Stagea, so I think it is of no use to you. As you said, all you need to do is get the centre swapped in the diff you have, which might be best done by a diff specialist. The current centre is probably desirable to someone to track so an easy path might be to swap your mechanical centre for someone with a standard centre (which is a viscous LSD, and almost certainly won't have any limited left). The only thing you have to watch swapping R200 internals between diffs is that the number of splines on your car's stub axles has to match the donor car, or you need the centre+stub axles and make sure they have the same number and pattern of bolt holes as your rear axles.  You swap your current ratio onto the new centre so you don't have to worry about matching the front. Alternatively, centres like the Nismo pro are much gentler (and have adjustable "tightness") so you could buy on of those from somewhere like Jesse Streeter or Nengun (noting it may cost you 1234% extra in tariffs by the time it lands)
