I got myself a 95 R33 S1 GTS25T about a month ago which has done a genuine 85000 kms I am

second Australian owner is in very good nick only the steering wheel is marked and handbrake boot

a little worn. Lately it has been making a funny noise but only on start up and once its idled for a while

it goes away but it has been cold in the mornings, i noticed one morning it was 3 degrees but mostly around 5 - 10 degrees or so

does any one know what this noise is ? it seems to come from the engine somewhere, also i noticed the engine

fan has small cracks in it does any one know how much a replacement would be and where i

could get one from for instance could i get a replacement fan from a repco store or what

hey man, welcome to the forums, congtats. your car looks quiet similar to mine. unsure about the noise.. what does it sound like? has it been serviced recently?

As for the fan, you could get a replacement and fit at most import workshops, just call a few up and get some prices.

id be a little hesitent to shop for parts n things at repco and autobarn.

Yes i have recently put new oil and oil filter in it the noise sounds like

a groany sound and does it on startup only, I got three year warrenty

with the car when i bought it but don't know if its worth hassling them just for fan as its a

firm based in newcastle or someplace up there and could take a while for them to act but i will

if the fan is pricey as i'm a bit tight for money at the moment.

    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
    • Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
