plz confirm switch temp

09-14-2013, 05:37 PM

I am trying to make a dual temp triggered, tripple relay setup out of the maxima fans. Can somone confirm the stock VG coolant temp switch at 200 on / 190 off [please]? Sentra switch will turn on 1 fan, stock VG switch will turn on both. Thx!

stock z31 is 212

Operating temp should be ~170-180. Both are too high.

What to use then bro?
Not that corporate action is self justifying, but I thought the 190 senta switch was what everyone was using?
Should I get a Tstat for 170 then?

Having a fan come on at 180ish is ideal if your t-stat is 165-170, you don't need it to kick on and off constantly just above the t-stat temp..

The Sentra switch would work....~180 would be preferable but 190 would still cool the car.
