Hi Peps As above, has anyone replaced it?? Looking at replacing mine with a brand new one as my car is slightly over heating on idle. What is the best replacement part? Brand etc.? cheers

Just coming into summer.... I replaced mine mate. Not sure off the brand, just what repco gave me. Check your thermostat aswell. You can either cut it or put a high flow one in. For a quick fix if youre over heating you can turn the clutch fan into a solid fan with the help of some heavy gauge 75mm roofing screws. Itll sound like a tornado but wont get above the third bar on the heat gauge haha

GK tech make a replacement fan, 40% more airflow. i run one on mine and you can feel the extra air even on idle. http://www.gktech.com/index.php/s13-...-air-flow.html (http://www.gktech.com/index.php/s13-s14-s15-replacement-engine-fan-60-more-air-flow.html) It says for RB you need an adapter. i bought the adapter and i didnt need to use it. im unsure what hub i have but im 80% sure its an RB30 one. ooh and they were on sale 2 weeks for $19 ha
