you are going to need to give alot more information than this for people to help you. Tho based on the fact you cant ascertain if it has a clutch/ thermo fan then id say you need to be taking this to a mechanic.

N going on your post statement "fear... is a great motivatior"- here it is for you. Overheating a car = a rebuild. If yours is doing this n getting that boiling sound then you are either very close or already there. Get it to a mechanic (on the back of a tow truck would be my recommendation...)

The stink of coolant inside that cabin, combined with the green squelchy carpets is usually a much more efficient indicator of a leaking heater core, than a bubbling sound....

Just because the big fan is turning doesnt mean the clutch is fine too - They have what is reffered to as a viscous hub, and can be shagged but still LOOK like its working. Give it a spin by hand and see if you can feel any resistance. If it spins freely, the chances are its stuffed.

i had the same issue wit my 33

it overheated pretty bad couldnt run for more than 15 mins without overheating, when it did, the coolant from radiator went into the reservoir and was bubbling/boiling

the radiator fan was still running but the problem was the viscus

fixed with a second hand radiator only cost $120

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
