Radiator Fan !!REPLACEMENT!!

Just got my car back with new tranny and now there another problem... My radiator fans did not work and come to find out they were not because the both were broken off and cant go back on so I'm looking to replace them but while i was on ebay I seen these after market fans. Can anyone tell me if they will work?

I am sure they will work in the sense that they will turn and move some air.

I don know what the exact displacement of the standard Maxima fans are, but if you look at the current consumption on those I have a gut feeling they will not be able to move as much air as the standard Maxima units. (If memory serve std Maxima fans chew around 20A at full tilt - the replacements you see there will only do around half that)

Something else - those straight and symmetrically placed blades are going to make a huge racket when they run - if it was me I would rather look for something with a curved blade and non-symmetrical spacing rated at something like 120W each

Also - those are single speed units while the originals are 2 speed units

Put WTB ad in the 3rd Gen classified and I'm sure you'll get one at better than reasonable price.
