Just measured it, it's 134mm. OEM requirements is about 143mm.

Looks like might need the Dayco 115847 instead.

Fuarking.

well, FWIW that is the size that the GKtech adapter is designed for (134-143). I was going to say I have one for half price but looks like they are on sale for $19 atm anyway. 

However, taking into account the feedback above on aftermarket couplings (I've got no experience with them, but surprised if they don't work out of the box) and I saw something about the Dayco coupling fouling on the GKTech adapter...it might be best just to go OEM

After all, we know you are keeping this car for 20 years and continuing to say how you want to sell it and buy the new BMW electric hover m2 instead.

Thanks for the thought anyhow Duncan!

I will just return the fan clutch, I've already messaged the seller on eBay however no response.

Might just give it till about Tuesday and do an eBay return, then cry a little and order a brand new OEM unit.

Don't think so, part is 21082-05U00 and they're f**king $800+ now !

I think dose needs the gtr one to handle the extra rpm. Oh well, just an extra $300..

Sitting in the garage. More than welcome to see if it fits, was working fine only removed to suit dry sump setup.

Might take you up on the offer on the fan hub fits.

Will do Google tonight, intensely lol.

If not 2x options, both equally costly.

1. New OEM hub

2. FFG shroud and 16" Spal fan.

Come get it and have a play. If it fits, great, if not return it or sell it for me. 🤣

Any chance you can measure the overall height from the hub to the top side of the fan?

I feel that they're nearly the same, perhaps different height (GT-R being probably shorter than the GTS-t one, however I'm running essentially a Koyo radiator for a GT-R).

Hmm mean from the top side of the fan blade to the base of the clutch, ie if you sat the fan flat on a surface, how high would be be overall.

 

[Piggaz]

100mm overall

95 for the height of the blades

I'll grab it, just measured mine and seems about the same height 98mm or so.

Considering the fan blade is identical and the water pump on either motor are the same it should be good.

I'm going to assume you want to get rid of the clutch and fan blade together?

[admS15]

I'm happy to purchase a fan blade if there's one surplus. Mine has started to get little stress cracks and could do with replacement. Just saying😉

Yeah clutch and fan together. Fan blades would be lucky to be 5000 kms old.

PM me your number bro, you can't receive PMs for some reason lol.

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Thanks again @Piggaz, shit box now has a working fan clutch/hub/coupler

Weirdly enough the RB25 one is higher than the RB25, so this means the fan blade is now even closer to the radiator shroud!

I have a out 6mm before the blades kiss the top flat part of the shroud. Might trim off that flat part if it causes any issues.
