EzeePzee Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hey folks, With the usual 350Z cooling fan issues, mine now only run on full speed, which means failure is probably imminent. I want to sort them, and have been considering the Mishimoto fan shroud on 2 counts - a) the cost and b) fitting into my engine bay. The latter is unique to my car - with the APS TT setup I have hard intercooler pipes and turbo pipes that get in the way meaning that removal of the OEM unit is virtually impossible without removing a lot more than I’m comfortable with. I’m not convinced it’d pull down from under the car either, so my cunning plan was to perhaps cut the existing shroud out whist in situ, and then slide the Mishimoto in its place. Theory is that the Mishi is much thinner and I’m hopeful would fit in the gap from above. Downside of this - the fans are noisy and single speed only. That said, I’ve seen a video online and from what I can tell they aren’t much noisier than the OEM fans when on full speed, which my car currently does anyway (having no low speed) So, does anyone have any other feedback ref the Mishimoto fan shroud? Anything else I should take into account? My plan would be then to clean the OEM fans and sell them back on to recoup some of the expense. But I wouldn’t be able to convert back to OEM at a later date without buying another plastic shroud. Thoughts or suggestions? Are the mishi really that loud and not recommended? cheers!

Ozzy225 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I've just installed them, must admit I haven't noticed any difference in noise over the stock units, however I did change them during my supercharger build so have been enjoying all the new boosted noises rather than listening to the fans. In all my research I didn't hear any thing bad about them being too loud, so i think you'll be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzeePzee Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 great, thanks! I’ve ordered a set now, so fingers crossed I’ll manage to fit them in myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msitpro Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Highly recommended from me. Sometimes get a look from a pedestrian due to being fairly loud. But no louder than some OEM car fans tbh. It'll only be when sat at traffic lights for an extended time that you'll hear them cutting in or if you have AC on at low speeds. Enough noise inside the average Z cabin to drown them out above 20mph!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsLeon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 My buddy has them on his TT build but they seem to cool less then the OEM ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie_r32 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I had them on my old rx8, cooling was awful, went back to stock fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 They are noisier than stock and the coolant effect is less due mainly to the construction of the fan shroud, however they do what it says on the tin and is a cost effective replacement, but is not an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
