Hi All,

I need to get new/2nd hand dual thermal cooling fans (with plastic assembly) for my 04/05 V35 coupe.

Looking to buy some in Australia, searched everywhere on the net, cannot find anything only US.

Also are these interchangeable with any other Nissan?

Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers

If they must be new, then you'll have no choice but to look overseas. Aside from the US, give Amayama and Partsouq a look, as their prices can be quite competitive (I've dealt with Partsouq myself and they've been great on the two occasions I've used them). Be sure to search by part number rather than by make/model/build date, to be sure you're landing the right one and THEN cross-compare to see what make/model/build year they list it as being suitable for, just as a means to double check.That has always ensured I get the right part for my vehicle, particularly if the part number has been superseded by a newer (compatible) component.

just be aware some models have round pins on the bottom to mount in round holes in the radiator and some are rectangular.  Not sure how easy it would be to make a rectangular pin fit in a round hole or vice versa if you get the wrong one.

You can buy just the motors new from the U.S (cheaper shipping) but our dollar sucks at the moment.

I bought some but didn't fit properly (the shroud was a replacement I got in 2012 from memory and not OEM so suspect that's why).

If you get one from the wreckers, make sure you bench test it there.

The passenger side fan is first to go usually. 

What are the issues you are facing? Are they both not working or one? Clicking noise etc?

Along with checking the loom connected to the fans (for dirt and power etc), you can also check the 3 relays located in the IPDM (box behind the battery. You don't need to remove the battery, you can take off the plastic trim and wriggle it out like I did).

I had and issue where one fan died but I also checked the relays and 2 were faulty. 

I ended up getting all 3 relays on EBay and has been all good since then.

My advice is along with checking the above, if you don't want to risk a second hand fan (one I bought was also faulty but the wreckers swapped it no question) is if you contact Auto Electricians who also do Alternator/Window Motor Rebuilds etc, they should be able to rebuild your motors. 

Also make sure you check the condition of your radiator once the fans are out. They're easy to damage.

If they're all good, you can buy special cleaners for the aluminium radiator/condenser and give it a good clean. 

Having the fans out of the way means you can stick a hose in and point outwards to flush the fins.

If you're in QLD, All Import Wrecking at the Gold Coast is currently having a sale.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
