Dual are better, you can pick up a pair of dual fans off a altima or stanza. Dual I think is better cause the fans are side byside, one blowin on one side and the other blowing on, YOU GOT IT, the other side, lol. Single just blows straight to the front ya know? I have a single, works ok, but im lookin for some ultima ones.

any altima with dual fans, heh

I dunno, the 93-98 altimas have the same engine as us so I would figure the same radiator and same fans, but that logic stuff never seems to work does it, lol.

to prevent the on/off switch thing with an electric fan. you could just wire it to the primary ignition wire in the ignition wire under the dash. im not sure what color it is since i have not done this yet personally but from experience working in a tuning shop anytime you want something to turn on with ignition you wire it there. if anyone knows the color please let me know otherwise ill find it at work tomorrow to let everyone know.

Well, this might sound a lil weird but instead of a nissan fan i installed an integra single fan and let me tell you, the damn thing can blow better than a pornstar . My SR20 water temp has been below the half mark and that's good knowing that the engine runs very hot. Also like the guy up top mention, I connected the wire to the ignition so that whenever i have the car turned on the fan would start spinning. unfortunately, i don't recall wat color the wire was when i installed the electrical fan.

hey guys, theres a much MUCH better way of wiring your fan to come on with the ignition, as long as you are still KA that is. You can use the stock electric fan and just ground out the relay that it runs of off so it will turn on with your ignition. You can read the whole install deal on the ********** installs page, its really simple.
