Ok, maybe I'm lazy, maybe I just don't know if there is something that does everything i want for my e-fans.

If you guys know what product does all this or can help me figure it out, that would be fucking spectacular. I've been researching on summit and other shit forever and I don't have the patience.

I want a fan controller that does this:
-digital temp display
-1 temp turns on fans at low speed
-a higher temp turns fans on at high speed
-manual override


and thats it.
I want to buy the YF temp sensor but some of these guys have digital displays built in.


this HKS one looks cool but doesn't do 2 fans at 2 speeds, just 1 at 2 speeds.
(could I make it do 2 at the same presets by wiring it differently??)

this GREDDY one is more general but doesn't say if it has 2 preset values I can use for temperature inputs

I've also looked at the FAL controllers on Summit but none of them have digital readouts.

EDIT: I fucking suck at wiring but I think that the manual over ride can just be wired in to ANY setup?

Alright, thats all I got.

Forgot to mention I have altima fans.
For those who don't know what that means, they are 2 fans with high and low speed settings.

I am not sure this will help. You know that stock fuse/relay box right by the battery has a hi (Cooling fan relay 2) and lo (Cooling fan relay 1) fan relays. I am using the lo fan relay to connect to my electric high speed fan. So, when the water temp hit low temp set, it trigger the lo fan relay. That in turns turn on the high speed electric fan.

for both fans?

if so, sick, I'll order one.
Do you just need the unit or some sensors and extra wiring harness like the GReddy one?

I have the greddy MSS, you dont need anything else with it. You tap it into the ECU's temp sensor (yes it is accurate). It will switch 1 fan (or 2 if you have them wired together) at 2 speeds at 2 different temps, or 2 fans at one temp apiece. I have one fan coming on at 84* C, the other 86* C, switching off at 80* and 78*. It also has a warn that will flash and beep the display, I have this set at 94*

S14's are cake to wire, use the stock trigger wires at the ecu, using the stock hi and lo relay triggers. The MSS grounds out the triggers, switching the stock relay, turning on the fan.

I have the Greddy unit and I do like it alot. I don't use the two speeds of the Altima fans, I just have the two fans staged to come on at different temps. Both fans are wired to always run on high speed. You don't need any additional wiring for the greddy unit. All they sell are plug in relays - you can buy a 30A Bosch relay and do it yourself. IIRC they charge something like $30 for each relay.
Here is a writeup I did on FA a while back -

Also, EACH fan has both a high speed and a low speed, depending on how they are wired.
