What year altima for e-fan swap? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Yeah

So 1993 altima fans fit after some dremel grinding. They are wedged between the frame rails now, the top held on with a bolt on the driver's side and a ziptie on the passenger side. If there is anything more than a .25" gap between the fans and the rad then cooling is nonexistant. I wired my fans in to the ACC relay, so they're on when the key is on... Definitely no problems with overcooling.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I understand why people like the clutch fan more, but this setup is working fine for me and is 100% more quiet. I am thinking of buying some weatherstriping to use to seal the fan cage to the radiator, as I have a feeling I am loosing a good amount of cooling due to the poor sealing of the efan "shroud".
