just because it's been done doesn't make it any less amusing

haha tupperware would be awesome... maybe i'll use a big tupperware to house a cone filter in a home brewed snorkel

the gap would bother me more than no bumper at all I think. I couldn't even take it when the ARB on my first X was higher on one side than the other.

haha, I would if it would make it through the core support holes.

So I can't find a metal fab shop anywhere near me. I'm just about ready to say screw it, sell it, then buy a TAG bumper built for 3" lift. Thoughts? offers? =P

MY1PATH are you saying that water fried the thermal probe between the radiator fins?

so I finally pulled my sensor out today to check it. The sensor appears to be practically brand new still however the blue gear that it slides in to was not clipped on and the gears were a bit beat up at the tip. Also there was some rotational slop in it like maybe it wasn't the correct gear for it or the plastic had stretched out? I wish I would have thought to take a picture of it. For now i'm ordering part #32743-74P20 which should be the correct pinion gear and 32703E which should be the ring clip. I'll report back when I get them in.

That thread is exactly what I was looking for BTW thanks Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

I was thinking about having a fab shop do it for me while i'm gone for 3 weeks. Was just looking for what other people have done to compare, or ballpark how much it is going to run me. Maybe I could just sell off the ARB and have a tube front built?

hahaha so true... but if the rust is natural then it's not cool

yeah i've been running without a fan shroud and a semi seized clutch for over a week now with no overheating issues.

all good info, and upon realizing that the top of my muffler had rusted through I decided to get the exhaust done before moving on to anything else. So for now i'm just going to throw in a new fan clutch when I get the timing belt done just to save some money. But now I know what I want for when the time comes. I'll have to keep my eyes open for a taurus fan and slowly piece it together.

ok so this is my plan for the setup... ka24 fan set up as per OP - $140 flex a lite 31165 - $100 random stuff like heat shrink - ? Now it's just a question of how much do I want Efan, or do I just buy another fan clutch for fifty bucks and call it a day?

The only reason I found out about my fan clutch going out was because I was having AC issues. A good flush and refill helped it out immensely but he also said the same thing about the fan not kicking on and overheating the AC system so it wasn't cooling anything down. I was about to start a taurus swap on my xterra right before I sold it, had the fan all ready but never did the swap. I suck at wiring things, I need a paint by numbers book on wiring. Sadly the fan ended up in the garbage can. I hear it draws some pretty heavy amperage though on start up. Something like 35 to start and 7 to sustain. I had a quest alternator in my xterra so I wasn't worried about it. Might be something I should worry about with my stock alternator.

you can order Cragar Soft 8's or D windows off of Jegs for super cheap. I had a set on both of my Xterras and they looked really good.

yeah the mechanic on base here said my fan clutch was not engaging all the time, especially when at a stop or slow moving traffic which i'm sure is eating up some of my efficiency. He advised me to get a new one when I have him do the belts so it wouldn't add any labor charges but I think i'd rather just get rid of the fan altogether. Are you still running an Efan Tungsten?

i'm not planning on wasting money on hid's whatsoever I just find random things so I can drop random knowledge bombs. seemed a lot easier than having to modify stock lights to fit a projector

has anyone used these? http://www.dashzracing.com/83-86-nissan-hardbody-4x6-h4651-h4656-h4666-projector-headlights-pro-4x6-bk-25.html

awesome thanks guys. Once I sell some of my volkswagen stuff (anyone need a k24 turbo?) i'm going to be going the e-fan route. Research has always been my friend

ah ha! This is good news. I knew NPORA would hook me up. Now, the secondary question is what are peoples opinions on this particular fan setup? As far as the set up being specific to an Auto or Manual trans is there a difference for mounting because of the built in transmission cooler? It seems as if i'll still need to come up with my own wiring, temp gauge, and switch but that shouldn't be expensive or difficult. Thanks again

Wondering if the radiators for either the sr20 or ka24 are the same dimension as the vg30 because I found a sale for some premade efan kits with aluminum shrouds that are on sale. Here is the link. If anybody knows if they would work or be pulling enough CFM I would appreciate the help. The kit is normally 265 but it's on sale for 140

I've never done it either, but I can only assume that it is going to require spending money on more trans oil since I can't seem to work on this truck without spilling everything all over myself haha

yeah but i don't like the idea of an open cone filter. I'll be figuring out something with the stock air box
