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

turbo

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

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
