R32 Sounds Like A Bus!

[StOjA32]

hey guys ... im not exactly sure when this noise actually started. my r32 sounds like a bus!

i think the sound has something to do with my fan ... i thought maybe the clutchs in the fan had seized and the fan was spinning constantly, but when the car is off and i spin the fan it free spins fine.

its a vooing noise that goes with my revs... the onlything i could think of is the fan but i cant seem to see any problem with it...

anyone got any ideas/?/

if its like a humming sort of noise that is coming from the front of the engine, it could be that your timing belt is too tight.

if its sounds like its coming from the fan it could be the fan fouling the cooler piping? (if you have one).. common problem..

yeh its is like a humming noise from the front ... i think the noise started after i got my clutch chaznged but i dont see what that could do with the timing belt or fan ...

i dont have FMIC on it yet .. still in stock form... ill check outmy timimng belt as soon as i get home ...

any other ideas guys

i appreciate it

water pump pulley or similar rubbing on covers?

The clutch fan sounds like its gone.. thats what happened to me. I thought it was to noisy after it was warmed up and yeah was the fan

my r32 sounds like a bus!

well yeah I know sometimes they handle like one too

but seriously, sounds like a buggered radiator fan clutch to me.

[StOjA32]

yeop figured out to be the clutch fan... would getting thermos be a better alternative....

would thermo fans get in the way of a FMIC?

[QWK32]

no, set it up so it is pulling air through the radiator and mount it on the engine side.

lol yer when i bought my gtr it had that vooming noise, sounds similar to a formula one haha and the problem was my clutch fan, mine was spinning aswell but as soon as i changed it the rb noise was back so yer it was my clutch fan at the end, they are not expensive mate, i got mine for $60 installed but was from a mate, maybe ur luckier, good luck champ,

cheers tony

goddamn... my 32 is making the same noise, i was gona get the fan checked when i got my 100k service,

so where would one get a clutch fan looked at/repaired~!!????

[GTRBOS]

well i took my car to transcar and they told me what the prob was, mate anywhere can do it for you just make sure you get a good clutch fan but just get your mechanic that works on ur car to do it,

man i know the noise is just ugly lol, whenever my car hit boost it was a formula one lol, no whre near an rb26 hahha

cheers mate
