I just bout two 12" fans and am installing them this wk ... they are a really good deal at the price, but would require a lil customization in wiring/powering them just like any other aftermarket fan setup. I would suggest two 10" fans b/c the two 12"fans I got are barely gunna squeeze on my new dbl row koyo. They move A LOT of air and I don't think they are much bigger than the flex-a-lites or w/e. or just go and spend another 120 dollars on top of the ones I just linked you to and get the flexalites cause they are hellasexy

These guys tested out a bunch of radiator and fan combos. It's for SRs but check it out. Most of it applies for KAs.

I have a good idea on how to use OEM parts like an Altima water temp thermoswitch and a relay to trigger e-fans automatically if you're not into flicking a switch all the time.

almtima fans.. wired to a thermoswitch to turn on one low speed at normal temps then another or use the a/c plug to turn the other fan on high speed when heat gets too high (i think 210* is what its set at)

correct me if im wrong...

What I actually planned to do was...since I have a 91 DOHC that has an auxiliary AC fan already, I was gonna get an FAL electric to put on the condensor itself on the front to push air through and wire both Altima fans to trigger simultaneously on the radiator side of things.

Yeah, the ECU turns on the cooling fan to low speed at 203F, assuming the a/c is off, and to high speed at 212F.
