I've finally tracked down my fuel usage problem - the clutch fan is 'sticking' so when the revs go up, so does it - it's louder than the engine at speed! It means I'm always pushing the fan around, even at speeds that it shouldn't be...

I rang around and there doesn't seem to be a third party replacement - and the stock nissan one is $435. Has anyone got a working one who wants to sell it, or know when I can get one cheap?

I replaced the clutch fan in my R33 GTST a few months ago with an aftermarket product, so they definitely make them for R33's at least. Not sure if the R34 is the same though.

Bought mine from a place called Motor Spares here in Canberra, from memory it cost about $160.

They have a website http://www.motor-spares.com.au and pretty sure they post stuff anywhere.

Give them a call, they might be able to help you out. :blink:

OK, this will hopefully be my 2nd last post on this... I hope anyone ever looking for a cluch fan for a r33 or r34 reads it!

I rang a few after market shops, but nobody had one listed for a R34.

I rang nissan and they quoted $435 for a new one

I then rang a few wreckers, and got quotes of $150 to $170, but 'only for a R33'

I rang back nissan, they said (after checking the part numbers) that the R33 one was the SAME as the R34 one.

That was good, as I could get one from a wreckers BUT it might be as old as an early R33! So I didn't really want to risk it..

So I rang back one of 3rd party parts suppliers (http://www.motor-spares.com.au from above) and asked could they send one down from the ACT. Their quick reply was that it came from melbourne from davies craig! (part 5265).

So I rang them (03 9369 1234), and yep they have them in stock - $213 inc gst ie

http://www.daviescraig.com.au/Fan_Clutches...65-details.aspx

So after many phone calls and hassles, I'll be buying a new one for not much more than an old one from a wrecker..

Going to get it tomorrow morning, I'll report on how I go with it after I put it in, it will be interesting to see if it fixes my fuel problem.. :-)

did it? And where is it located precisely ? I don't notice any 'roaring noise' when I hit the gas pedal or maybe I do but am assuming it's engine noise?

Just replaced the o2 sensor and AFM and still same shitty 18-20l/100km economy...city driving (lots of stop'n'go) and mostly short trips.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
