datzenmike Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Congrats on escaping! E WA is like a weird black hole for some of us - can't get away. I made it all the way the East Coast (NJ, Philly, N VA) for a few years, but somehow got sucked back here. I remember the thrill of driving back West and seeing sagebrush again in Kansas. Yeah, sagebrush, cheat grass, and scab rock, that's what resonates to us black hole dwellers. datzenmike - "Town was near abandoned" That is more or less the definition of E WA State! :lol: But there are still dead Datsuns to be found in the wild here. Len . Down town was empty, boarded up, sage blowin down the street. It was creepy. (oh, sorry Dave no offense, nice place to visit) Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Water pump went out, good enough excuse to go electric fan? And are all the L water pumps the same? Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I thought they were,, but comparing numbers on Rockauto shows different numbers even for the 83 maxima and 83 280zx . :confused: Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I thought they were,, but comparing numbers on Rockauto shows different numbers even for the 83 maxima and 83 280zx . :confused: I think I remember that they are the same shape and such, but one has a cast impeller while the other doesnt.

bananahamuck Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 That`s with all of them ,, it`s a crap shoot which one your gonna get, unless you know exact parts numbers of the different styles. Quote Link to comment

Profiling shows this is similar to a prank phone call. However in the case of an adult it's generally assumed the sender has the emotional development of a nine year old. Unofficially known as 'Barts' they usually are not a threat unless anything violent or sexual is mentioned. Then law enforcement become very interested. Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I think they're the same casting for the housing its just whether it has a fan clutch on it or not. But don't quote me on that Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I seem to remember the pulley on a Z car not lining up with the crank of a four cylinder. Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I know some years have a bolt on clutch fan, and others don't...The one off the L24 will do for meow, seriously thinking about going electric fan. Don't know if my ECU could support it or if I would have to run an extra system.... Quote Link to comment

captaingamez Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 you can get those thermostatic relay kits for converting to electric fans, their only like 30 bucks. I go electric fan on all my vehicles, believe it or not its more reliable. and I find it pulls the same ammount of air 1 Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Word Up Capt, was just wondering if there was a hookup on my harness/ECU... Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 no, you wont need to hook it up to your ecu, I think they just run off the battery, and theres a thermostatic switch just like in a front wheel drive car. that switch activates a relay at a certain temperature and the relay turns on the fan. the kit should include a harness and fues link and all that good stuff. I prefer this method rather than putting a switch in the interior because it maintains an exact temperature. Quote Link to comment

When the switch or component goes bad, the fan won't kick on and you'll have no idea until you start overheating. You can minimize this buy buying a quality kit, but you still assume a bit of risk. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just run it like mine, with a switch under the dash, stop in traffic, turn on fan Quote Link to comment

Millions of cars run electric fan and they are ok. First of all they rarely come on at all. Only when stopped long enough at idle and never on the highway. Fan belts can break without notice also.... q-tip.... while a switch works it's a weak link as it requires someone to know and switch it on. Worst case scenario you lend the car and the driver forgets and leaves idling or you get out of car and for what ever reason are unable to get to it ti turn it on. I know, remote but possible. Things so important should be automatic and not left to chance. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I hear you on that mike, I tried to use the temp switch in the vw radiator in my car but for some reason vw parts don't work right in a none vw( I know multiple people with the same problem) Quote Link to comment
