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.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
