Ok so on the way from work to my home, I decide to use the A/c, then notice my temp gauage go up, so I pull over to make sure my fan is working, last time the wire came loose and the fan wasn't turing on. So I find out whats wrong..................I'll let the pics speak for themselves!






What the %#$@..........why are there bent fins on my brand new radiator??? Hmmmm?



What about the electric fan........doesn't it suppose to have blades? Wait Not mine WTF!




I have no idea what happened, but I'm just glad that it didn't mess the radiator up enough to make it leak coolant. Now I gotta get a new fan and try to figure out how the hell it happened?

P.S When I mounted the fan there is enough clearence between the actual blades the radiator.............Sooooooo, I'm thinking a fan blade defect

 

Looks like all the damage is on the outside of the fan....whoever installed it did a hack job of putting it on.

 

i dont recommend just one large fan for cooling plus a/c. you need two fans definately anyways

 

what the hell are you talking about

 

Yeah, that confused me too!


:o Also, you are lucky! Could've been A LOT worse. That is soooo odd though.

I agree with Taylor. Get some dual Flexalites.

 

HUH??? I installed it myself.....don't see anything hacked about? The outside of the fan is in perfect condition???? The inside wher the blades go is where the damage happen.



So just run 2 fans instead of one? What size? 10''....12''.....14'', which one will allow me to fit 2? I have a 16'' now

 

Yeah it could of been worst..........just sucks that I already bought the fan and paid another $80 for it.............the old one that broke was bought back in Jan

 

go to AE and get the FAL 220 fan. i believe thats what taylor is talking about. thats what i have installed. costs roughly $200

 

$200 for one fan, or is that a kit specaily for the 240sx?
