is it just the fan you are after, or the motor and all?

if it is just the fan, it is only 4 bolts. and i'm pretty sure the rb20 and 25 use the same fan, but not 100%sure on that.

Just the fan, reason being, saw an rb20 one on ebay, wanted to see if it was an option.

I cracked mine in my r33 and the replacement part was $250 as you couldn't buy just the fan, you had to buy the motor aswell... so as it wasn't going anywhere, I left it.

But having said that, I sold the one off my SR20 for $30, so no doubt you'll be able to pick one up on the forums second hand.

It's also just a case of taking out the radiator and undoing the 4 bolts on the fan and it just slides off.

motor?

do u mean the fan clutch?

or the fan blades?

blades are interchangeable, and some say the rb25 one is better.

the cutches are swappable too. I bought a craig davies new one from sprints for $130, put my fan on it and bolted it in,

pretty sure the fan on my rb25 is a rb20 one.

It will fit, but the rb25 has more blades, and seems flows a lot more air (I tested this once when I had my rb20 - you can tell by putting your hand in front of both to compare).. so a fair bit better.

I reckon you'd be better off with a 3rd party one if it does the trick.

sorry to bring up a old thread but

i've found my clutch fan seems to be on the way out? its making a slight screeching sound.. would replacing the clutch fan with another one solve this issue?

does anyone have a guide as to how to replace the clutch fan?

With the engine running drip some water onto the belts. If the noise goes away its the belts. Without the clutch locked up try spining the fan to see if it makes any noise. Clutch will lock up when its hot enough. More than likely a squeaking belt.

i read somewhere on these forums recently how to test if your clutch is buggered but cant find it now..

if you spin the fan by hand when the car is cold it should normally only spin freely for a half turn or something to that effect...

can anyone confirm or correct me please?

cheers

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 馃槷 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
