I bought two 12" fans from Serb.

They both fit on the stock radiator, although a little tight with the brackets that came with them.

Interesting

See this thread and this thread..

I purchased the 12" slim fans at Partsfinder that Chriscar recommended. They have worked great (over 2 years), quiet, and are cheaper than may other equvalent quality fans! They were $35 each (now $40 ea) including mounting hardware and shipping.

I would not recommend the Ebay ones. Actually purchased a Ebay set and they only lasted for a few months. Fan Motor are constructed with cheap materials & motor brushes and they can not handle the load with A/C use (overheats & dies). Also the Ebay fans were louder than OEM when running.

How well will the 10" slim fans hold up?

^^^^^ 1500cfm interesting, i'll sell mine for those.

edit: scotty, is it the one you have on the passenger side of your car?

Very good post, thank you very much Scotty

I'll keep away hehe

Yep... thats the one on my passenger side A/C fan wired for 2-speed operation... Had to install it for O2 sensor clearance with the SSAC header.

I also have one for the drivers side but never wired it up. On my 93 NX, the OEM fan motors are larger and has 2 speeds. So, I wire the slim fans to do both speeds (approx 1200 cfm for normal rad cooling & 1500 cfm for A/C cooling). You must do some rewiring and add an additional relay to accomplish the 2-speed operation.

But yes, they are 1500cfm and can also be wired as pushers or pullers. ChrisCar has installed these as Pushers on his turbo car (changing the front Power Steering cooling line w/SE-R type PS cooler) and pullers on his other NX.

yeah I have like 3 slim fans right now, but I perfer the way your is mounted up and I wouldn't mind the 12" over my 10".

NO YOU WONT ! ! You probably already ordered/bidded on one!

You l-o-v-e to purchase the Ebay stuff ! !
Then wonder why it dont last or work well ! !
