Some info to share after a bit of research:

The updated Nissan OEM part number for my 2007, V36 350GT is 214934GA0A (old part number is 21493EH10A) - Circa $100 to $200 AUD dependant on brand/quality

The interchangeable part is (as seen here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004459559212.html) : 1355A408 (Cooling Fan Control Module For Mitsubishi Lancer 02-06 ) - Circa $30-40 (AUssie stock and free delivery) example : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153550014872

Both these parts look identical, however I'll be purchasing the MIsubishi part number. The OEMs supplier is the same for Nissan/Infiniti/Mitsubishi - Calsonic Kansei part# 21493

 

FYI My fan controller needs changing as the fan is always on. 

Happy DIY-ing folks!

Following this as Im having the same issue at the moment. I didn't realise they were on for so long, now one of the motors squeaks as it winds down when turning the car off. I was looking at one from a 2011 wreck, but the yard is taking forever to give me a price lol.

Lol, will keep you posted mate.

If I recall right the squeaks can be solved the using a long straw nozzled spray grease , spraying straight into the fan motor.

I dont know where we are talking about or followed the thread, but if its electrical, PTFE lubricant may be better. You can get it from JayCar.

Note, WD40 is not a lubricant. It is "Water Displacement 40". It will also dissolve grease and fall away & the area will "dry up". It just happens to provide a very temporary apparent lubricant action.

 

I personally think it evil as it gives an immediate impression something is lubricated, but it will actually make it even worse in the long run. I now use the PTFE spray (tiny plastic marbles) where most would use WD40.

Thanks a lot for that info, I had no idea. Did a quick search and WD40 do a ptfe. Would this be suitable?

I dont know. I haven't really followed the thread and thus dont understand the use, I just have a knee jerk reaction to people using WD40, and had no idea WD40 did a PTFE one or ever used it. My can from JayCar has lasted me for years, and so is my first and only can. I did buy another can once for someone else who had a temp car with a very squeaky fan belt, and the WD40 he used lasted for 1 drive where as the PTFE went on working.

I originally got this stuff to also use near electricals, which reading the WD40 version, has no mention specifically at bunnings blurb. To be clear, I dont actually know which would be better. However, JayCar is cheaper, specifically meant to work near electronics (ie not conductive) AND you still get more. Also, I just notice it does explicitly suggest use in automotive cases.

And to be clear, maybe the grease still might be a better option. I know I use it for my garage Door tracks.

Hey Awsam,

 

The replacement worked perfect. Exact hardware match and works well now. No constantly ON fans. Checked when the engine was cold, with (both fans on) and without A/C (fans off) - works well. Will be confirming that the fans turn on when the engine gets hot too. Should be fine, will report back if not. 

Use this vid for detail of removal process :

Happy DIY-ing!

Fan turns on perfect! So all good

Just an update. Got that part in, plastic was brittle and one of the clips broke pretty easily. Still went together fine, and my fans are running as they should now

*update* while working on something else, I found that the bottom plug that goes to the Drivers side fan was loose. Left fan was not working. Please ensure you use extra force to push the plug in. Once secure, it will be hard to pull out.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
