Man guys, I'm broke atm, but give me till mid Jan, and I'll be all over these.

Yah, Nissan Quest minivans have a 2 speed electric fan on them. Not sure exactly what years will fit, but they require a small amount of thin plastic trimming to get them in.

ya completely missed the pic of his rig. Yah dunno.

Why not just spend the 35 bucks or so for a 4" K%N, then another doller for about a foot of fuel hose, and just use the gold plate inside your airbox. Try using the search function on this topic, as there has been ALOT of discussion on the subject.

Well to clarify, yes they have improved the performance. Definately alot more get up and go. Mileage curve has changed quite a bit. At city driving and such, about the same. However, its the freeway that kinda suprised me. Shortly after the install, made the trip up to Seattle and back to Vallejo. If I stayed around 70mph, I'd get about 19 mpg. As soon as I kicked up to 80, it dropped wayyyyy down to about 14.5/ 15. So to sumerize; yes, big performace increase, however, she'll suck the gas down pretty fast when you are going that extra speed. The power is there if I need it, but I stay around 70-75 when drivin on the freeway on long road trips. M.M. p.s. I make the trip from Vallejo (school) to Seattle (home) about 2-3 times a year. Takes me exactly 12 hours, runnin about 875 miles, driveway to driveway, including fuel stops. I'm gathered a pretty good idea of where she likes to run, and things like mountain climbs, headwinds, traffic definately affect mileage.

Yes pics please, I'd like to see this operation, as I have a similar problem.

Only recomendation, you get what you pay for, so stay away from Automotive Customizers aka AC. I have had first hand experience that thier products are poor fit and ever poorer quality. And to beat a dead horse, use the search function at the top right of the forum pages.

You could also look for a junk yard tank. 84 turcel shouldn't be too hard to find, use Car-part as a used part search for your area if you can't go out yourself.

Zirgo 16" electric fan 2100 cfm. One of the brushes came loose in the motor so I am in the process of fixing it. I run it directly off the battery with a thermostat, so it stays off while whe motor is off and cool. A small bit of power back from the motor as well, but just a small bit. Your best bet is to go with the Quest one, as it only takes a bit of plastic trimming to fit, and they are relatively cheep.

No leaks on my perm-a-cool, where exactly is it leaking at? The fittings which screw into the filter adapter, or the hoses which go onto the nipples? If the hoses, just tighten down a bit more on the clamps, if its the fittings, and you have already tightened the crap outta them, you may have a bad fitting or adapter, either way, call Perm-a-cool, and complain, they'll probly send you a new one. Good luck M.M.

Doh, I have SAW's too. AC comes to bite me in the a$$ again. pssd

Think about it, its only33k away from half a million miles

88 hooked me up with a cooler off an exploder, so I'll let ya'll know now that goes. Gonna stick it between the radiator and the condenser.

With a 95, your only gonna get about 2" from a JGC coil if you have the external tire carrier like I do. I did the chamfer method to get rid of the pigtails, but I have another set to try to straighten the pigtail with some heat. We'll se how that goes, and if I get more lift. May still need spacers.

Yes, the accesory decrease makes perfect sense. I was wondering about the hubs, as they are only in effect in 4WD, due to the Xfer case not spinning the shafts in 2HI.

It must be the underpants gnomes.

Just a recomendation on the O2 sensor. Spend the extra couple of bucks anf get the Nissan one, other wise the generic ones have an extra wire and you have to splice the others in, at least on a majority of the ones I've come across.

Hey buddy, she's a '91, get it straight. Thats like me callin your's a '90.5

From a diagnostic standpoint, it sounds like a relay isn't closing. the frist thing I'd try replacing is the flasher relay, probly only a couple of bucks, and work from there. Troubleshooting is alot easier if you eliminate the easy stuff first.

Yah, I'd say its fairly normal. In the morning, I let my motor run for a good 10 minutes before driving, and she still isn't up to temp till I get a few miles down the road. Defrost works best for ice with the warm air from the motor, so it usualy takes a few to knock down the built up frost. I usualy just give her a quick scrape if its alot, and turn the de-frogger on high while she's warmin up. M.M.

Stand at the front with the bonnet up and rev the throttle butterfly by hand to see if you can tell where the noise is commin from. The fan should have little to no resistance, as the clutch built into it closes as it heats up. Is the motor warmed up when you are trying this or cold? if so, then it should have some resistance, but you should still be able to move it by hand. If it is in fact shot,, you might want to look into and electric Quest fan up-grade, 88 has a good line on pullin these, and could probly hook ya up with one. Hope this helps. M.M.

I wonder what their shipping is. From reading around on their site, it looks like they are wholesale only, and you have to be some sort of business to order through them. $350 is a good price, but I didn't see if they were the ceramics either, may just be the nickle ones. Otherwise a good score if they are ceramic and you can order from them. M.M.

seems to me the mpg increase would only be in 4WD, since that is when the hubs are in effect. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

or just sit there and smell your exhaust for a few minutes to see if it smells like steam, oil, or just regular exhaust. A few strong huffs will quickly tell you the culprit. Or just make you pass out. Sorry couldn't help it, good luck.

No, not yet, that is next. Gotta search the junk yards for one. Just runnin the kit, which is workin fine for now. M.M.
