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!

    • Yeah good luck out there! Will be good to see a mighty GTST going harder than the GTRs
    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
