Hi all, sorry for the late reply... the fan i have checked again........it spins freely both ways...... so maybe sumthing to do with the exhaust?

Ok, ive checked the fan again last nite, it turns easily, i initially didnt turn it with a bit of force but when i tried it last nite, it turns perfectly......the car was sitting in the garage all day so the temp factor is out of it too. now, what are we left with? i think something to do with the exhaust system maybe? Dunno ?

Hi, all the sugns seem to be pointing to the fan clutch as the other things such as piping and k & n are all fine and in place.....definately not the turbo... :-) I will try turning the fan again today when i get home as i havent driven the car at all today so the temp for checkin should be good. so what im looking for is for the fan to turn pretty easily right? if it only turns 15 to 30 then stops is when i should be worried?? Well sdm33 said the part comes pretty cheap so its not that bad, Cheers Fellas ill update 2moro.

Hi, It sure does the same thing in nuetral, Definately not the turbo spooloing :-) I had a look at the fan yesterday, it has a slight freeplay of about the length of your palm, other than that it pretty solid. I will check the piping and K & N.. etc and get back to you guys. Cheers!

Hi All, Im not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread but i havent been here for so long and the entire site has had a overhaul. Ok the problem is, when i take of, 1st gear, the car will gradually increase in a loud sound, at about 2500- 3000 rpm, it becomes very loud, a bit like what it sounds like when you initially take off when the car is still a bit cold. I have always had this sound when i use to take of and the car was just warming itself up. The sound actually over takes the sound of my K & N and the factory BOV, not totally over takes it but it halves the original sound. But now its a constant annoyance at the rpm that i mentioned about 3000. It doesnt only do it in 1st, 2nd and third are pretty much the same only slightly less loud. 4th and 5th i dont really hear too much of it. I dont think its the exhaust, although i have on of those silent exhausts, it isnt very loud at all so it could have something to do with it. Sounds a bit like the old ford falcons, big windy sound. Well i hope ive explained it well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers guys!

We may have the same problem though my car vibrates when i brake in speeds in excess of 70 kmh. I have been told by many to get my discs machined. Makes sense as this is the common cure for this problem, Hope this helps. Prakesh

As someone mentioned, u wouldnt really wanna spend 16 to 18k on a 11 to 12 yer old car when u can get something around 8 yrs old for about 23 - 25k... the skyline is A better car all round with heaps of potential........Z32, parts alot harder to get, coolong probs, and much more expensive to run.......i personally couldnt go past the 96 skyline myself.........
