Pretty sure that 90-93 and 94-96 are different as they have different shaped fan shrouds...

I just replaced mine a week or two ago $90 at the dealer in a crunch but better than fan pieces flying threw something serious. Ill check my reciept to see if it say's the years or something.

Wrong.....

90-93 part number is: 21060-60U0094-96 part number is: 21060-0P500

Not to say they are not interchangeable, but they are not the same.

Fan shroud is different also............an improved design to increase summer low rpm cooling. Just as radiators are different [dual vs single AT heat exchanger].

Multi- thousands of components are different on 94 and later.

The 94 has so few major components that are interchangable you can count them on 2 hands and 2 feet........ upper links, tension rods, 3rd link, rear shocks, rear suspension links shafts without TCS, drive shaft, motor mounts, alternator, wheel bearings, kingpins, door hinges,

What was the first year for the dual heat exchanger? Many other parts are interchangable but they many appear or function differently or require minor modification.

Wes how do you find the part #'s so efficiently? I doubt you calling the dealer...at least i hope not. Dealer's website usually wont say the part #'s

Thanks, so i couldnt buy yours anyway huh, and i was coming around to spending that $50. Thanks.

When i did some cooling system work, i found that my fan had many...to the tune of 12-14 cracks in it. I NEED A BLADE NOW. There simply aren't any Q's in my area, one guy wanted to know who makes INFINITI's.

Joe would be happy to sell you one TODAY! a brand new one,with a full life ahead of it to protect your engine from overheating and the cost of body work and paint to the hood if yours ,or most likely another old used one you buy secondhand decides to blow apart from the age/heat induced cracking! at joes price for this important part,consider it cheap insurance!

Just bought mine from Joe. $64.30 delivered. Noticed the fan was cracked when I replaced the alternator belt and idler pulley last week. Which I also bought from Joe. Ordered the fan on monday and will receive on Friday.
