hey guy holding the fan with one finger is a bit of a worry is that when the car is at idle then fan slowed down or held down and car started at work the way i test viscous fan hubs as i let the car idle then get a bit of card board to try wedge it to slow it down if it slows down quickly means the clutches inside are knackered prob reason why when acclerator is stabbed the fan is not keeping up with speed of engin just slipping on the spot do the test see how it goes good luck with it mate

k i went out there with a bit of cardboard... started the car, popped the bonnet, stuck the cardboard on the fan and took about 5 seconds to stop it, held the fan while i revved the engine, it has a little bit of pull but nowhere near enough to knock my finger of the fan!!

The fan should have heaps of power behind it, or at least mine does.

yup that's correct - happened to my bunky before. the overflow bottle was boiling hot.

End up was a

1. damaged thermostat

2. something was stuck in the radiator - ended up flushing it

problem solved

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
