I recommend OEM electric fans over aftermarket ones. The fans are shrouded more properly. Also when wiring them, try to use 12-14ga wires.

They are electric. What I meant is using OEM fans off of other vehicles are better than flexalites.

enough CFM for what? normal drifting, yes they will have plenty. crazy long demo type driving, maybe/maybe not.

a lot of people use the alty/taurus fans because they actually tend to flow more air than most aftermarket fan setups.

Spal makes some really thin fans that pull some major CFM's.

Most 240sx's I've seen have huge gap between motor and radiator. I don't think he needs something thin. Unless he has a V8 or a inline 6.

Altima's come with KA24DE's too. Taurus's have 3.0L V6's.
