Good tips, but your simple quotes around good made me rethink things... =)

Turns out, my problem was relatively simple. The plug on one of the flex-a-lite fans was cracked and it was shorting out. When I tested the fans they were working, but driving around sometimes it would cut out. Wasn't very obvious with the RPM or noise since one fan was still working just fine.

Stock clutch fan with KA radiator and it never gets more than a few degrees above thermostat opening temps. Stock clutch fan= you will never go back to electric fans. BTW rb25 fans are some of the highest cfm clutch fans that nissan makes.
