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

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
