with the engine off see if you can freely spin the fan, if you cant spin it, then it may be the clutch is seized, in which case you should stop driving it cause fans like to explode in all differant directoins when they rotate too much.

or it could be the warm summer days making it kick in......

Original clutch fan or an aftermarket thermo?

It would be his standard clutch fan.

no idea...... all I know is the stupid fan spins faster when I rev?

Yep, standard clutch fan.

when the radiator reaches certain high temps (i think it's ~90 degrees), the clutch fan will turn on. this is what the "whoooo" sound is. it's completely normal. :D

Spot on!

errr well then ur car sounds like a diesel truck I dont think that's normal lol

My GTR does it too. When I have been driving it for a while the clutch fan can be heard. Same happend in my n/a R31.

I love my diesel trucks. lol.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
