Shouldnt matter...they should be the same.

Why am I thinking I've read they are a little different? If you have an S13 one and it fits you're fine. :-)

I'd look towards electric fans if you can, though. Makes a world of difference on my S14 SR. I got a brand new Mishimoto shroud with dual fans for < $200.

The fan shroud relies on the position of the fan, which is different between the S13 and S14 motors. Buy a S14 fan shroud.

The Nismo Shop : West Covina Nissan : Nissan OEM Fan Shrouds

Also, I say electric fans are garage. Would much prefer the stock fan over electrical any day. No problems, no worries, never overheated, never used the rotating mass of a clutch fan as an excuse to failing, and it has never shorted out of me or just randomly stopped working.

Ok I'm not crazy.. thought there was a difference.

First time I ever heard electric fans called garbage though.. Did you run relays?

I've ran a few multiple setups, they were just never as good as OEM mechanical. As I said:

Alot of people feel the same way. I mean you can use them, go for it, not trying to start a flame war on this thread, just saying electrical fans will one day come back to bite you in the ass. It's like a law of physics.

Oh I wasn't arguing with you at all, I was just curious. More or less, I was wondering what I should watch out for! :-)
