It's real hard to find the correct fan clutch for RB20 and 25. I went through this a little while ago, although I had bought Dayco clutches and there is no cross reference between that one and the Davies Craig 5265 (which is odd, but forget about that for a moment).

Basically, the brand new Dayco ones would lock up at waaaay too low a temperature and so make a lot of noise, use a lot of fuel and slow the car down. Horrible. I ended up using a secondhand original RB25 clutch. If I was to buy a brand new one, I would definitely get a genuine one next time.

There's a lot of useless twaddle in my thread about the radiator. Ignore it. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/418116-fan-clutch-shenanigans-any-clues/

Yeah genuine new Nissan clutches seem to be the only go. But at over $500 a pop, they are damn expensive.

Try Amayama; they are much more reasonably priced, if you can wait a week or so.

$201 is a much better price; add $30ish for delivery.

the one for $201 is from the UAE, 20-30 days delivery

from japan $435 with 10 day wait.

I should've just got the standard one from Nissan at the start I guess.

ill give Nissan a ring and see how much they are. I will pay the money to get rid of that shocking noise.

the davies craig clutch is louder than my other 1.


cheers for your input guys!

I have found that is the "worst case scenario" on delivery time; they generally arrive quite quickly.

When you email for a price including shipping; they will also revise the lead time.

Give them a go; if all you are worried about is the noise (rather than imminent engine damage through overheating); why not wait & save a couple of hundred?

I guess you have a point there.
so the link you posted to before was the correct part number?

Sorry mate; that one is actually the SR20 fan clutch.

Below is a link for the R33 RB25det fan clutch.

I would advise so you are 100% sure, that you go into the listings and confirm it for yourself.

This is the page I got to the fan price from; you can clearly see the make/model of the car, but check for yourself.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
