Cluth, Power Steering And Thermofan

[Bluepearlr32]

hey guys i have hardly been driving my r33 lately its a series 1 i bought it about 6 months ago the thermo fan was working when i bought it but has since stopped and i have checked what i thought was the fuses for it etc and none are blown i also have found that the clutch squeels when taking off in first gear sometimes but doesnt crunch or grind any gears any suggestions and my powersteering pump is wineing when steering but the fluid canister is full of fluid any ideas how i could fix any of the above problems would be greatly appreciate thanks alot

Powersteering pump is probably cactus

Throwout bearing on the clutch is probably the cause of the squeal

And the thermofan on the front if the radiator is only an over temp fan. It isn't supposed to work all the time

thanks mate the radiator fan doesnt work either and the throwout bearing what is that is it going to affect the clutch etc? and ahh k so u recommend new powersteer pump is $70 cheap for a powersteer pump and will series 2 fit series 1

when you push the clutch in it moves the clutch fork which pushes the throw out bearing against the clutch pressure plate to release the clutch.

if the radiator fan isn't spinning either then 1 of 2 things is going on. either the clutch for the fan is shot, or it is siezed and the belt isn't able to spin it, which may also be part of the squeal you are getting when you take off.

How far do you have to take it? If its less than a 5 minute drive then it should be fine. Even 10 mins is probably just ok, but would depend on traffic and terrain. If the weather is cool and the speed limits are high then you could go further (higher speed = more airflow through the radiator).

as above, if you are moving at constant speeds of say 60+, the natural airflow is better than the fan can provide.

if in doubt, tow it.

it will be cheaper in the long run.
