Need To Replace Radiator Fan.

Hey Fellas,
First I appreciate these forums alot and I have been a frequent visitor since I started dating my Fiance' who own a 2006 350Z.

Well I am selling my Integra Type R in a month and we will be using her car exclusively. Sure enough it over heats this weekend.

Took it to the dealer and they ran their tests and the prognosis was that the dual radiator fan was broken. There is nothing wrong with the water pump, radiator or head gasket, just the fans. The technician also said there is electricity to the fans as well.

So they quote me $650 to replace it.

(After I pulled myself off the floor) I went ahead and looked online and found this part for $120 bucs. Now looking at this picture it looks like a simple drop in.

I greatly appreciate any advice you guys can give or even a "how to" if one is available. Or if you guys think this not a job for a novice and should be handled by the dealer.

Thanks again Fellas, and I hope to get some responses. :-)

I honestly can't remember if you have to pull the hoses or not but remove the screws, harneses and anything else connected to it and just lift up. That price sounds about right for OEM parts and labor. Did they quote you 1.0 or 1.5 for the labor?

is it the driver or passenger side fan?
im assuming u had the ac on when it overheated
my driver side fan has been out for over a year now, only tries to overheat if a/c is on
if im on the hwy i can use the a/c no prob

i do however have a complete fan assy im replacing mine with, if by chance it is your passenger side fan thats bad ill sell u my fan motor CHEAP

awile back nissan only sold this as the complete shroud with both fans, ive heard that they now sell the fan motors seperate also, might want to check into that, should be ALOT cheaper than the whole assy
