Over Heating Issues

[Ninja gts25t]

my radiator fans not working even when it gets warmed up it doesnt kick in resultion in a boiling radiator. any ideas/

[turboedsloth]

The clutch on the fan is buggered, or do you have thermos?

[Ninja gts25t]

not sure if it has thermostat/s. is there anything i can do without taking it to a mechanic

[jjman]

you are going to need to give alot more information than this for people to help you. Tho based on the fact you cant ascertain if it has a clutch/ thermo fan then id say you need to be taking this to a mechanic.

N going on your post statement "fear... is a great motivatior"- here it is for you. Overheating a car = a rebuild. If yours is doing this n getting that boiling sound then you are either very close or already there. Get it to a mechanic (on the back of a tow truck would be my recommendation...)

no he said does it have thermo fans or clutch fan clutch fan is the big creme fan or do you have fans bolted up against the radiator.

if the big creme fan the clutch is buggered if thermos id say relay is shot

[Ninja gts25t]

nah the big creme coloured one is working lol. its jus the lil one bolted to the front of my radiator isnt. is that what u mean by thermo

[luvpsi]

nah thats your aircon so dont use your air con for now if still overheats then you have a blockage

[Ninja gts25t]

hmm joel pm me ur number and ill send u a mms

[Ninja gts25t]

still same problem jus topped up fluid took for a warmup lap and still same problem only slight bubbling this time. left to cool and checked for oil in fluid. nothing. its clean. wtf is going on i dont know

[turboedsloth]

Your radiator could possibly be blocked, is the coolant still a green colour? It might need to be flushed out to clear the blockage

[JonnoHR31]

is the radiator and cap holding pressure?

[Ninja gts25t]

yes cap is holding pressure, and the flush idea doesnt sound too bad

[luvpsi]

first thing i would do is flush radiator

Where is the bubbling sound coming from? could be your heater core leaking....

[Stinky Rooster]

The stink of coolant inside that cabin, combined with the green squelchy carpets is usually a much more efficient indicator of a leaking heater core, than a bubbling sound....

Just because the big fan is turning doesnt mean the clutch is fine too - They have what is reffered to as a viscous hub, and can be shagged but still LOOK like its working. Give it a spin by hand and see if you can feel any resistance. If it spins freely, the chances are its stuffed.

i had the same issue wit my 33

it overheated pretty bad couldnt run for more than 15 mins without overheating, when it did, the coolant from radiator went into the reservoir and was bubbling/boiling

the radiator fan was still running but the problem was the viscus

fixed with a second hand radiator only cost $120

[Ninja gts25t]

hey guys i saw where it was pissing out from behind the head right at the back of the motor it must be a hose there or something gonna have to get that fixed somewhere some how

[bubba]

Yeah there's two heater hoses that run behind the engine, I had one blow on the dyno once
