Afternoon Guys
I Broke my Visco Fan on Monday in A Water Hole When I lost My Bow Wake, when the Water hit the fan it broke all of the blades off.
this i understand is a common problem when the Fan gets old and Brittle.
I can get a pirate replacement for R400 or the real deal from Nissan for 2k.
Any thoughts.
4500 GRX Fan

Re: 4500 GRX Fan
Hi ....and welcome to the forum..
Not sure how good the pirate parts are, but I must say R400 v R2000..... for a piece of plastic??? .....hmmm... I'm kinda leaning towards the R400 side

Re: 4500 GRX Fan
Thanks for the warm welcome
That's what I reckoned as-well, 2k for a plastic fan blade!!!!
The other prob is the Pirate one I can only find in Capetown so I can't check it out before I buy it.
It is such a critical component I don't want to get it and then have to go buy the 2k one anyway cos the quality is suspect.
Does anyone know of a place in Gauteng I can Get a Pirate?

Re: 4500 GRX Fan
If the place you are talking about is the same as has been spoken about here a few times before, then from what I've heard, they are pretty reasonable/reliable.
Do a search here on viscous fans and see if you can get any assistance from that
