Hello all..

I got into a front end accident a week ago, spun out around a curve.. car still drives fine like before but the hood is crumpled, rad support is pushed in and driver fender is done too.
So.. among other things like rad support, hood latch, hood, fender and such... looks like i'll need to replace the rad fan and came across this
"rapid cool fan"


Amazon website says it would fit, just making sure.
Any input would be appreciated..

It will, but you'll have to splice the wires.


Had this pic on my phone already. Lol

Lol, quite the resourceful phone you have sir!
This fan is looking attractive because supposedly it runs faster, and theoretically will keep it cooler...

That fan is most likely a single speed fan, where the stock Nissan fans are dual speed. Just make sure you wire it to the low speed wires (pins 1 and 3 in the above post.)

While the fan may spin faster and could theoretically keep the engine cooler, it won't. The ECU maintains the coolant temperature in a certain range, usually between 190º and 200º F. The ECU will turn on the fan and turn it off as needed.

The standard Nissan fans do just fine for cooling, so if that Amazon fan can move the same CFM of air, you won't have any problems.

The difference i would think is if you have a slower rotating fan, it would just have to work harder and probably not last as long ...i think it would burn out the fan motor more quickly because it would be working harder

Hey Fakie - selfies are supposed to go in the off topic thread.
