Message its expensive like 200 bucks i think

however it never heated up
this was even true in 95 degree weather sitting in traffic for hours etc....

Also you must consider that stock fans only flow that well when they are in good condition, when the clutch wears it will not function properly. I don't know about the z32 but on a z31 it fit perfect without me making a shroud, like only a 1/4" gap all the way around, you might need a shroud. The key is to make sure the rest of the cooling system is working well and that the fun is pulling through the entire rad. Also if you have a condensor fan for the AC you could wire that to switch on with your electric. You also save yourself from having the clutch to go out, which usually likes to take waterpumps with it, if it is attached there on the z32 ???

I think it is a great mod. atleast on the z31 it was, the key is getting everything together right, the system as a whole must function as a whole. There is no reason why the z32 should have such problems with heat that similar cars power and design wise do not have. If so the problem is not the fan, it is the system as a whole. I bought my fan because it was a setup used on many very high HP supras it was sold as a kit for supras by a tuner who rebadged it as their own. Those guys were making tons more power than me, and they reccomended it, I can't see how it would be impossible to get it right with the Z32 someone just needs to do the homework and take the time to get it right, instead of just slapping on a 16 inch fan wiring it up and wondering why it overheats with no shroud a 10 year old rad. and old coolant etc...

#1...I wouldn't argue with that
