Aye boyz ,I m guessing I need a new fan ,car is a 32 gtst .

Cruising around then I could hear the engine it was louder then normal,Its nothing to do with driveline as it makes the noise whilst parked .

It sounds like the fan and it s blowing pretty hard ,as you rev car sounds like a nissan patrol ,Pretty sure not the motor itself (hope not)

Any one heard of this happening, fan goes into hypo mode ?any more then 3000rpm sounds like gonna fly threw the bonnett.

feedback appreciated will post up how I fixed this problem

thanx guys

The fluid clutch in the fan is seized, meaning it will spin at whatever you rev the car to, usually they're setup to not go above a certain rpm.

Get on to this ASAP because they have been known to let go and go thru bonnets. No Joke.

I just recently developed the exact same problem with my R32. Pitchd mentioned about getting a newclutch fan from FBI. Where is this place? Is it located in Victoria or are there any places that supply these in Victoria. What's the estimated price for a clutchfan.

i too have this problem. i got a new fan in today and when it started to get hot i began to have this problem again, and its been going on through the night. so i dont think its the fan coz it was just replaced. could it be because the cooling system isnt sufficient enough for our Australia weather? if it is what could be done to reduce it? any answers or ideas to the issue would be appreciated ASAP.

thanks heaps... Stephen

the clutch fan cuts out at 3000 Rpm.

I bought a new clutch assembly for mine. It was a craig davies replacement. On the box it had a whole heap of other model skylines it could be used for as well as the VL turbo RB30et. (rb30e has a different length and thickness shaft on the clutch)

From memory i bluffed the guy and got trade price @ $120

yeah ive found its onli on hot days. i dun think it could be the fan coz its a brand new one. is there any way to eliminate it if the fan isnt buggered? coz i seem to be losing power while it is happening aswell

The fan is operated by a small coil that uses temperature to engage itself.

On a hot day the fan would be on most of the time (below 3000rpm)

As a side note, the fan runs off the waterpump. Have you guys replaced the waterpump at anypoint? A shagged bearing in the waterpump will make the fan harder to spin, and can kill your car if it seizes...

turbohectics, have u fixed the problem yet? as i am curious to see how you fixed it because i got my fan replaced and the noise is still there. i am going to take it to the workshop on monday to hopefully get it finally fixed.

what other problems could cause this apart from the actual fan and waterpump? would like to know asap as i want to get it fixed once and for all.

Thanks

Mine is fixed ,just got fan from wrecker ,

I can still hear it a lil bit but no where near as loud as before ,

I got better probs now i clened the cold start valve thing because car never starts whilst cold unless give it some throttle. and now my car idles at 1800rpm wha ,guessing car was fiddled with to compensate for a dirty cold start valve ,hope I can fix it my self gonna give it a go in the morning .Throttle stopper screw and tps I'm hoping will solve high idle

PS I hate skylines (my excel went for years no probs)lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
