hmmm i have to edit this now because i just realised i was talking to the wrong person. I was replying to rsmithdrift not iloveboost. I need more details here to help you. Sorry for the confusion...

I know it has to do with the fuel pump too becease that's what the fan is wired too.
If your fans are the problem here it's not because your fans are broke it's just the nature of DC permanant magnat motors to act as generators.
Have you tried the relay; if so what happened? If not then you should not be so quick to jump to conclusions, because i too have had this same problem with my s13; however my approch was different than the solution i gave previously...
I simpley wired mine to the output of the accessory relay found under the stock air intake box, now the fans are always on when the key in in the "acc" or the "on" position.
When the fan continues to rotate it generates voltage the opposite direction of its rotation, so in effect the positive input of the fan becomes the positive output of the "generator" feeding enoph voltage back to the positive input of the fuel pump to cause it to stay on after the key has been turned off. while this is happening the fan is spinning down and generating less and less voltage, which also caues the fuel pump to pump slower and slower untill it stops pumping enoph to cause it to fire. Also depending on how the electrical system is setup in the nissans (i dont know for sure) it is also possible that the voltage could also be feeding back into the igniton system causing an irratic spark, and fireing the fuel without a "hot spot".
A relay would solve both of these problems.
