These are the fans I'm talking about: Courtesy of NICO member, LegacyOfPhoenix.

So I picked up some altima fans and when I tried to install them it seems like they are too fat! I f***en scratched my radiator trying to squeeze them in there. Loosen up the IC piping and everything. The AC thingy that is circled is in the way, no way to remove it without releasing the R-134a.

Anybody have these installed that still has the AC thingy in their car? Will they clear it? Thanks

I have the Koyo aluminum radiator and the FAL dual fans in my '96 with the S14 SR, but no A/C condensor, so I don't know if it all will fit. It looks like it would though.

I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

So you don't have the AC thingy that I have circled in my picture then? Don't think the AC condenser would affect anything since it is in front of the radiator, and even if it still wasn't there, the radiator would still sit in the same spot. That AC thing is what is my concern, so if you have in your car then I'm golden, but if you don't, do you think I would be able to squeeze in the fans. Thanks in advance for the pictures

my altima's didn't fit with that condensor thing that's circled, nor did it clear my power steering hose. I don't really have good pics of my fal's on my koyo, but I just drilled two holes on each side on the flaps of the radiator and through the fans and riveted them in

Nope I don't have that either (circled item). Looks like there's still room for it if you have the Koyo/FAL dual fan set up though. I'll get those pics soon.

Woohoo, I got the FAL fans installed. It barely cleared the ac thingy.

Controlling them is the Dif controller. Still trying to "program" it
