Miguel Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 That's kind of my point, they are not normally present, this is only the 2nd time I've seen one of these on a supra. I guess I was just lucky to see quite a few of them, I should do the lottery. Mine was a GZ by the way. Is there a way to de-gas the aircon and get those pipes off? I want to get all the rust off Maybe your picture might help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brian Mallon Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Ive got one on my 97vvti TT, It is the air conditioning fan, that is the air conditioning radiator behind the fan not the main radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 fella they are your power steering cooling pipes not air con. Clamp off at the rubber pipes that connect onto it and hey pesto you can remove to clean. Thanks for that. I am going to drain all the fluids and replace them over the next couple of weeks anyway so will do it then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 My GZ http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2475/dsc00296e.jpg I just reached in and sanded it off and painted before fitting grill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Dont discharge the aircon as you mentioned in an earlier post, its nasty stuff and should be done by a professional looks like you have a nice project coming together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 yup, sprayed a load of engine bay bits, pics coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 My GZ http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/2475/dsc00296e.jpg I just reached in and sanded it off and painted before fitting grill. Ok, so in this picture, the pipes *infront* of the fan are PAS cooling pipes? I always thought they were a/c pipes? When I had a crash a while back, they and the AC unit was destroyed, and I have never replaced them. They were connected to the AC unit. My car has been driving fine ever since... without those pipes. should I be worried that the PAS is about to stop!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever get the feeling that you're invisible sometimes. It's been mentioned several times in this thread what the pipes are. I even annotated Jackson11's original picture 10 posts up showing what they are. I would look into getting one back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have read this whole thread yeah, but got the impression some ppl were saying they were AC pipes, and yourself was saying its a PAS cooling pipe. Out of interest, why are those pipes connected to the AC unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 seems like your powersteering oil must be running very hot then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexJames Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 seems like your powersteering oil must be running very hot then lol, well you'd think, but I have run it all through the summer with no ill affects... but, I shall get it put back on I think it was connected to the AC unit in the sense that it was fastened to it, but not connected to it, that might be where im getting muddled.

Kev_A Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's a standard fan, Mine had one on, the previous owner had managed to fit the FMIC with it there, but is was pressed tighty up against the IC so removed it when the ATF cooler was fitted, it weighs alot! Chris_and_alana removed his too after fitting a FMIC Oh, and my A/C is still icy cool without it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InSvain Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i was told that it`s for supra automatic because of the cooling pipework in your original radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
