Hey all,

Just noticed that my Standard Fan is starting to crack and I really do not want to lose it...

1995 R33 Series 2 RB25DET Standard Radiator Shroud, Radiator and clutch fan.

Doing a 'Search' here came up with the suggestion that

  • An Rb20 one will fit but it has less blades and will not pull as much air.
    Also, it was mentioned that a VL Rb30 one will fit.
    Additionally it appears that Repco may have a universal one that will fit.

I measured an old Pintara (don't laugh) fan and that is a bit small and it appears that I need something with an external hub diameter of 7 and a half inches.

Can anyone confirm what I may be able to fit as I really don't need to change clutch assembly?

u could go to the wreckers and pick up the same fan but it will come with the clutch

but why bother with the old and in with the new go with a clutch-less steel fan

Let me know how you go with the aftermarket brands.... I also need to change mine. Are the clutch fans easy to takeoff/install?

Thanks.

What is the advantage and do they make one that picks up on the same bolt holes on the Clutch Hub?

Should be pretty easy if you know the right end of a ratchet!

Let me know...Likewise...?

I haven't started to look as such yet. This week I hope!

i got a rb26 fan here at home if you want to buy one

Can you post a picture and tell me a price?

Might need you to tell me the hub size and hole to hole too.

Perhaps you can PM the details and a Price.

Bottom of the pages says "Not for performance engines" also notice the stated loss in fuel economy and operating revs! :yes:

Obviously not many have seen the damage an over reved "Flex Fan" does under the bonnet when the rivets let go.

Stick with what the factory supplied or go electric thermos

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
