Hi guys,

wanted to see if someone can help me.

My car as been overheating and i took it to my Mechanic. He showed me that the Radiator fan is spinning slow (can stop it with his hand) and is a bit loose.

He told me the clutch in the Radiator fan is no good and needs to be replaced.

Dose anyone know if this would be the same as the Clutch in the 350z or Maxima?

and has anyone else had this problem??

Thanks

just 'bumping' for a fellow 35er!

i think i might be having the same problem

whenever i've got the 35 idling there for more than 10 minutes, i'll notice the temperature rising...air con is usually running so not sure if this exacerbates the problem.

the first time this happened, i had coolant spitting out everywhere. I always switch the engine off now if i know i'll be stationary for a while.

you'd think the 350z fan clutch pack/ electric thermo would be identical..(?)...

(bumped again!, if nothing else!)

I'm Hoping

I had a quote to Import A Skyline one for approx $800, which seems to expensive.

You could swap it over to electric thermo fans. That would cost less than the $800 and be more reliable. There's a thread in the technical section of someone doing this on their R34.

as soo as my fan dies.....I'm using this suggested method. (Blitz's)

i feel ya

my fan has died as well so i'm very interested to know what alternatives are out there.

I wonder if this could be a common problem with the V35.???/

When i first notice the problem, i had approx 63,000km on the clock

my car only has 35,000 kms so dunno what's the go there...car is 4 years old though

took the v35 to the mechanic...got quoted $1100 for a genuine nissan replacement fan & labour

farkin not happy jan!

have you proceeded with the blitz's method yet superspit? if so how did it go?

Hi BZKR!

Man.....I know that the V35 fans tend to work puurty hard, even in mild weather conditions...moreso than any other car that I've noticed.

1100 hunjy?...geeeesh!..that figure seems to have been extracted from the ass of a Nigerian stock broker.

I have not proceeded, as my cooling system still appears to be functioning well..(other than it constantly coming on!..not a big bother though.)

Can't say the same about my 6M gearbox! (still!)....I shoulda gone the 5 speed Semi-Auto....they're much classier, I reckon.

Stay On Target!...soz.

I'd like us to start a tab on this very same fault......let's find out wtf is going on here, and maybe get a few more recco's.(?)

Out of curiosity, I pulled the hood to look at the radiator cooling assy....(any excuse will do, it's new!)

Fark me!...what do I find?..........2 electric fans....no clutch fan! :laugh:

ummm...how embarrassing. :thumbsup:

This is odd!

    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
