The fan is on when the EC has reached a certain temperature, or when the AC compressor is on.
Some people in the FI forum have upgraded both radiators and fan combo's. I think our coolant systems are fine as is, unless you're FI, really NA'd, etc.

I've had this before on several of my cars (Toyota Celica's - old rear drive ones) and both of my 280zx... they are temp controlled (they come with a thermoswitch or you can wire them to your existing fan wiring. They move a lot of air, and in Florida it's a nice addition.

Unless you're doing some kind of endurance racing or driving for a long, long time in temperatures higher than 110 degrees, I don't see why you'd need something like this on our cars... ![got me](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/ne_nau.gif)
I've never had any issues with my car overheating. I've had it get warmer than normal sitting still, bumper to bumper in 100 degree weather at Import Alliance last summer. But that was only because black tarmac + lots of cars = lots of heat.

No problems with the stock cooling system here in Texas.
Might be worth it if either of your original fans go out and you need a new one.
Where the power gains with fans come in is when you replace a belt driven fan with an electric one.

Yea I was thinking for at the track in between runs so the engine could cool down faster, also wanted to maybe hook
up a manual switch so that I could turn the fan on while the car was not running in the waiting lane, I eventually
want to do a subtle turbo or supercharged set up with it and the last turbo car I had got pretty hot, but it was a 4 cyl.

Unless you already experience excessive coolant temperatures, this is unnecessary. If coolant temperature was an issue, I would first look to upgrading the thermostat (if possible for these cars), then the radiator and then the cooling fan(s).
