Hey guys...

Just noticed on the drive home from work tonight..

That the engine fan "whines" (as best as i can describe the sound a Fan makes)

really loudly at idle it sounds fine it goes of it's nut, So bad it sounds like it's going to spin itself of the car. Any idea's on what it could be???

There's no other (abnormal) sounds from engine bay.

The radiator was about 1.2L short on water (dont know for how long)

I filled it up but prob is still there.

I need any suggestions, Bearings, ?? do they run a clutch???

Im gonna take it to a mech but if it's a simple something i can fix id rather do it myself...

cheers guys.

ohhh shite...Is this a part that takes ages to order in and cost a mint to buy and install or should a nissan dealership have it on the shelf so to speak...

where should i go to fix it, will i need to go to a per4mance workshop or can i just go to a normal mech???

sorry for 20 Q's this is pretty much the first mech problem I've ever had with my car and im a bit freaked out...

nissan dealer should just have it on the shelf as they're a common item to replace, but i also found there is another source for cheap water pumps: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=31692

anyhow, could be something else, but that sounds like the most likely cause given the symptoms. If you're losing water that is another sign it is probably the water pump.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
