    Datrats dies??

    Very true Yom.Very few people can become corporate giants without such issues as family, health and overall being a nice person going down the gurgler. Been there, done that and whats the use of making a pile when everything else falls apart. A previous boss of mine when I swam around in that...

Happened when motor hot or cold. Discconnected the radiator fan from the ECU and since then all running...

    flywheels

    Run a JUN flywheel in Hack and a Datrats one in White Knight. Agree totally with Cisco. A worthwhile upgrade for sure.You end up with a more revvy resposive engine and more performance. Less strain on the engine, less weight to move around etc. IMO its worth the money.I would go for an after...

    Radiator Fan

    Well went and bought one from the local Auto One dealer. Yeah a lot thinner by miles.Biggest job will be getting it to hang off the Micra attachment points.More blades and feels very robust. It will certainly give me more clearance from the shroud to the exhaust. That model is for front mounting...

    Radiator Fan

    Snoopy, go to Davies Craig web site and check out the DCSL12 model. Seems to be the closest fit in relation to existing fan. Guess it is more efficent than the existing one if what they say is correct.

    Radiator Fan

    Well I feel the radiator fans are okay.I still hear stories re the water pumps.Some say they are great others say they are absolute rubbish. Seems to vary from one car make to the next.

    Radiator Fan

    Davies Craig make a whole range of aftermarket fans but after my experience with the electric water pump not sure I want to support them. I will suss it out but no matter which one you go for I am sure some mods will be needed to fix the shroud to the existing Micra attachment points. Only 2 at...

    Where is the unit? I can always check mine as the red led light glows when it cuts in.

    Gee sorry to hear. Hacks Haltech been going strong for nearly 2 years and no worries at all. Cuts in when you hit around 4.5 psi boost as that is when she starts to run lean and from the dyno the air fuel ratio is perfect right up to 7 psi.

    Radiator Fan

    Anyone replaced their fan? Mine works okay but its the original one and the plastic shroud around it has cracked in a couple of places, I have re glued it etc but feel time to replace. Would dare not get a genuine Nissan Micra one would cost a fortune. Plenty of aftermarket ones around I am sure.

    Awesome !!I reckon it is about spot on as Hack pulls the same at 7psi but I am sure you will do a bit better due to front mounted intercooler. Get in touch with Errol at Datrats for a larger radiator as the one he supplied me is a direct swap and like took all of 30 minutes from go to whoa to...

    How to look after your drive belts.

    Even with the extra drive pulley and the supercharger belt at correct tension I could at times get some belt squeel under very hard acceleration and also if coming off the throttle very suddenly. Found this stuff called CRC belt grip in an aerosol can. Says it revives old belts, helps life of...

    Radiator Fan

    Hmm had problems on and off with the fan not cutting in.Checked everything I know, fan works etc. With a larger radiator car never looks like running hot with normal driving. Other day quite hot in Perth and I was doing a lot of stop start driving. Temp gauge would climb near the red when...

    Some new pictures, modifications and a new finish...

    Mate it is looking really smick. Looks like a car straight off the showroom floor. A credit to you no worries. Let us in on how you got that shine. You could squeeze pimples/blackheads looking into that.

    AUTO GEAR BOX...HELP!

    Throw the auto box away and install a manual.Manual gearboxes last forever. Errol at Datrats sorted it out for a lady in Melbourne who went this way and works out hundreds of dollars not thousands.

    OK my temp gauge is really low - where should it sit?

    Not good. Your temp gauge should sit half way or very close. Is your gauge working properly? your thermostat ? At around 87 degrees your thermostat should start to open and around 93degrees should be fully open allowing full circulation of the coolent. The engine works at peak efficency at these...
