EcoFriendlyAL Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) https://www.amazon.c...r/dp/B00DZRNK0M Heard the Mishimoto fans are just one speed...loud lol. Wondered if these are three speed like originals. Also want to know about what I should order for a fitting. I believe easiest way to replace is from the bottom but PAS tude gets in way and needs to be unhooked, so will need top up and bleed, so need to buy 1 litre - Motul MULTI ATF Fluid Cheers AL Edited October 30, 2016 by EcoFriendlyAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 The Amazon unit is untried on this forum AFAIK. Stick with the noisy Mishimoto as I know that it is plug and play and that it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snjur Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 If you can get OEM fans stick with them. They have better cooling capacity than Mishimoto one's. If you don't mind fabricating and modifing try SPAL fans. Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the fans, I think the Nissan ones are in region of £600, so talking £400 saving. I want plug and play with least fuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Strange that you should say that: I now run circa 700 bhp and similar torque and I still run stock OEM fan motors and shroud. However for a complete cheap fix for standard car the Mishimoto is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Mishimoto are cheaper so for non modified engine I wouldn't mind having them up Sent from my SM-G850F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoFriendlyAL Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Just read the how to fix a fan motor guide and that suggest the shroud is easily removed from the top after removing the air box and top hose? Anyone with experience of swapping out fan please comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Very straight forward from the top, however you will have to access the block connectors from underneath. You may also have to loosen the PAS pipe at the pump to get some wiggle room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Can't help much but my fans went 2 weeks ago, got the mishimoto direct from them with next day delivery, and for simplicity I got my garage to fit it, they only charged an hours labour so I guess it can't be too hard! As for being noisy, yeah it is louder, but then inside the car you can't hear it, so it's not a problem really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazemaguire Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 If you're not scared by the idea,you can tear down the old units and file the brushes... people think the brushes wear away, in my experience When mine stopped it was because the carbon brushes for the motors had somehow jammed in their sprung sliders. I filed the excess material of the brushes and put it back together and the oem fan is still going strong 20k after doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
