I was driving down the street and I knew my fan clutch was out due to money I couldn't fix it. My fan broke can I drive with out the fan?

You can drive without a fan.... as long as you keep moving.

Definitely not recommended because you'll overheat your shit very quickly. One red light could be your last.

You can jumper/ground out the E-fan relay so itll turn on when you turn the car on..better that than nothing.

Not worth the risk

I wouldn't advise driving without a fan for very long.

Yeah use the a/c fan for a little bit

Did it to my first S14. Took the clutch fan out and only ran AC fan full time and car never over heated. Did that from 02-05 in Norcal.

I've had no fan for 3 years. No overheating driving on the street. I don't run the ac all the time either
