Rooted Engine Fan

[napower]

hey dudes,

umm basically my engine/radiator fan is rooted and sounds like a bus,haha (i can't handle the noise anymore!, its rediculous!). So i spose i'd like to hear from you guys with "brand new vs 2nd hand", "standard fan vs thermo" and basically what you guys woud do.

Thanks heaps

oh and my car is an r32 gts 1989 if that helps

cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeers

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

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

If the R32 uses the same fan as an r33 then i have one in great nick for $80
