what should i do???

i had my car at the workshop today and the mechanic realised that there was a problem with the clutch fan. when the car got to high revs the fan itself looked like it was made of rubber swaying all over the place looked like it was about to come off. has anyone had this problem before and whats the best thing to do about it and does a rb30 fit the rb25.

any suggestions would be great

cheers ben.

Personally I don't think it is a huge problem.

I had an R31 previously and was unfortunate enough to run up someones arse. The front end was pushed in a bit and I needed a new clutch fan (amongst body repairs). The front of the car was fixed etc. except there was one problem, when the engine was reved, the fan blades flexed so far forward they touched the radiator, forming a perfect circle on the radiator fins. Nissan had an engineer come from NSW to measure the engine distances, etc after the repairs and all was spot on. They tried 3 different genuine Nissan fans and they all did the same thing.

I think that the flexing is normal...simply something you don't realise unless it is brought to your attention. If the fan has no movement in the shaft, don't worry too much about it. I also believe that different fans will flex more/less than others depending on the batch during manufacture and the consistency of the plastic.

thanks for your reply . its actually flexing backwards toward the timing cover.
