Can someone tell me the easiest way to remove the old engine fan in order to install a new one? For instance is it necessary to remove the radiator?

Car is an R34 GTT.

Thanks.

Shroud will have to come out together with the fan, radiator stays.

Glad I found this without having to make a new thread.

I have a BNR34 fan for my 32-R. I want to replace the fan without taking too many thing off.

I tried removing the 4 screws and taking off the fan but the little guy refused to come off. Now, I know that I also need to remove the rad shroud but any recommendations on how to remove the clutch fan? It seems to be stuck on the pully really well.

Fan clutch hub and alternator belt pulley are both spigoted on the water pump shaft, some gentle jiggling will have it loose.

Perhaps you've moved it slightly and it's jambed a bit crooked?

Pays to loosen the alternator belt to remove load on the pulley.

I might have jammed it a little but I'm sure it would have straighten out when I tightened 4 screws again. I'll see if I can get it lose today.

    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
    • Nah, I definitely do that kind of stuff with my car. I do drive it around as a daily! It's just that mindset about building a car to actually still use/retain it's function as a car is rare. If you modify your car into a weekender, IMO you've ruined 5/7ths of the fun. It should remain fun to do daily errands in.
