Not 100% sure about the R32's but for my R33 I got a new clutch fan, if you are having issues with just the fan it shouldn't cost much, but the clutch fan costs about $300 brand new and it was the same model as a Nissan patrol or something (search my previous posts on this).

Not sure if the R32 fan will be exactly the same as the R33, I also have an RB26 so not sure if the different sized engines have different fans on them...

Many of the posts I've seen on thermo's have been negative, personally I wouldn't use them on a skyline.

Second hand clutch fans can be very cheap if you look hard enough :laugh:

Should be pretty easy to find a second hand one in good nick. Just had a look and theres one on ebay right now starting at $30- search for 'r32 fan'. Failing that there should be a few floating round the for sale forums here

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
