Taner Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 OK ive searched a load of forums including here, but cant seem to find a guide on how to connect up aftermarket fans. I found 1 which at first glance seemed to be THE ONE. But halfway through, the wire colouring differed to mine, so that went out the window. Any help would be much appreciated. I dont want to go out and buy an additional fan controller as it appers that they can be wired up to the stock wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 radiator fans? If the wiring colours changed it may only be a difference in colour and not overall function, with a multimeter you could get back on track by identifying the colour differences?

Taner Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hi there Yes rad fans. Ideally i need someone with an import Z to take a look at the location of the colours on 8 wires then get back to me. May post up in general What i need is the colour/location of the rad fan wires Not the immediate plugs that plugs into the fans, but the other end. that plugs into the loom. 2x plugs each with 4 wires. Colours can be seen without cutting or damaging or unclipping anything approx 1-2 ft from the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Stock 350Z run 2 speed fans they have 4 wires that go to the fan; The Stock ECU control these fans not a thermostatic switch. Are you trying to change the fans as the stock fans have failed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taner Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Its the final piece to the repair of my front end damaged car. I still have the stock fans but had issues finding a sensibly priced cowling for them, so opted to go for aftermarket slimline fans. Yes both fans have 4 wires each, that as far as im aware control at low and high speed, but also come on when the aircon is activated. Ive removed the aircon, so really just need them to come on when the engine temp requires them to. have you wired in a set in the past. Ps, i picked up a burgandy R32 from you a whileback. You said to say hello to Colin at CAT. I said hello. He is still based at Millbrook. Come on down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cefiro_drifter Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hey Taner i just stuck aftermarket fans on my Z as the oem ones failed. After searching for ways to do it i ended up just running a manual switch as it was easier and less complicated to do. Nev and F1 Moto was doing mine and even he couldnt get his head around it and was to long winded for him to bother. He's a genius with wiring so i took his word for it . The only other way round it i foudn was to get a thermostatic fan controller from someone like rally design and sick that in the top hose and have that wired into the Aftermarket fans. Ran that sort of system in my 32 drift car and worked fine for 2 years http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/product_in ... ts_id=3449 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taner Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Cheers for the replies people but ive managed to get my head round it earlier. 20 mins with the wiring diagrams and a bucket of ' here goes nothing' and all is well. Fans work as they should. :D Nev??? is he still about. i met him a while back. I sold him a roll cage tube notcher. Quality bloke. Funny as hell.
