Hi guys,

wanted to see if someone can help me.

My car as been overheating and i took it to my Mechanic. He showed me that the Radiator fan is spinning slow (can stop it with his hand) and is a bit loose.

He told me the clutch in the Radiator fan is no good and needs to be replaced.

Dose anyone know if this would be the same as the Clutch in the 350z or Maxima?

and has anyone else had this problem??

Thanks

just 'bumping' for a fellow 35er!

i think i might be having the same problem

whenever i've got the 35 idling there for more than 10 minutes, i'll notice the temperature rising...air con is usually running so not sure if this exacerbates the problem.

the first time this happened, i had coolant spitting out everywhere. I always switch the engine off now if i know i'll be stationary for a while.

you'd think the 350z fan clutch pack/ electric thermo would be identical..(?)...

(bumped again!, if nothing else!)

I'm Hoping

I had a quote to Import A Skyline one for approx $800, which seems to expensive.

You could swap it over to electric thermo fans. That would cost less than the $800 and be more reliable. There's a thread in the technical section of someone doing this on their R34.

as soo as my fan dies.....I'm using this suggested method. (Blitz's)

i feel ya

my fan has died as well so i'm very interested to know what alternatives are out there.

I wonder if this could be a common problem with the V35.???/

When i first notice the problem, i had approx 63,000km on the clock

my car only has 35,000 kms so dunno what's the go there...car is 4 years old though

took the v35 to the mechanic...got quoted $1100 for a genuine nissan replacement fan & labour

farkin not happy jan!

have you proceeded with the blitz's method yet superspit? if so how did it go?

Hi BZKR!

Man.....I know that the V35 fans tend to work puurty hard, even in mild weather conditions...moreso than any other car that I've noticed.

1100 hunjy?...geeeesh!..that figure seems to have been extracted from the ass of a Nigerian stock broker.

I have not proceeded, as my cooling system still appears to be functioning well..(other than it constantly coming on!..not a big bother though.)

Can't say the same about my 6M gearbox! (still!)....I shoulda gone the 5 speed Semi-Auto....they're much classier, I reckon.

Stay On Target!...soz.

I'd like us to start a tab on this very same fault......let's find out wtf is going on here, and maybe get a few more recco's.(?)

Out of curiosity, I pulled the hood to look at the radiator cooling assy....(any excuse will do, it's new!)

Fark me!...what do I find?..........2 electric fans....no clutch fan! :laugh:

ummm...how embarrassing. :thumbsup:

This is odd!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
