JoeK Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, need to get a new fan shroud fitted to my 350z DE, so I will be going down the Mishimoto route. I have looked into some installs and everyone seems to be removing the stock fans out the top but having to remove the top coolant hose, is there a way of removing the stock fans without messing with the rad hoses so I haven't got to bleed the system? Time sensitive so I don't want to have to bleed the system if I can avoid it? Thanks guys! Edited July 26, 2018 by JoeK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr v6 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 You won't lose much at all, it won't need bleeding if you're quick. When I did mine it was airbox out, disconnect top hose from radiator & bend it up out of the way, I only lost a bit from the rad, maybe cable tie a nitrile glove or small bag over it? I also removed (or loosened, can't remember) the bracket holding the A/C lines in place. I had read it can be removed from underneath too, but I didn't do that as the bolts were breaking the plastic undertray. A very simple job to do.

Jack94 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I had mine out recently and wanted to avoid breaking into the cooling system too but in the end I couldn't see it being possible. I used the same method as above, although I think I took my engine cover off as well to make a little more room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
