Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Does anyone know where i can get a viscous coupling for a 4.2D.The fan in the Patrol i bought has been fixed to turn permant with the waterpump. Nissan qoute me R3207 excl. vat.
Thanx

Pieter,help hier asb. Het jy nie die part nr van jou 3.0l se fan nie,want dit sal op die 4.2 ook pas.Dit lyk my die handelaar rook hulle kouse voor hulle die pryse maak.
Raka,Pieter en ek het altwee onder R200 vir ons fanblades betaal(sonder die viscous)en die goed is presies dieselfde.Ek het my part nr versit,hoopelik kan Pieter help.
Groete

Ek dink ons moet vir Pieter nominate as die "organiser"op die forum in die Kaap sooswat ons moderators het of so?

Raka,

I replaced mine less than a month ago - bought it from a spares shop in CT - 150 BUCKS EXACT same thing as the Nissan Fan!!! Nissan here quoted me R1550-00 for the fan (without the viscus of course) - I still have my old fan at home and will check for you tonight.

You can also try places like Midas, Auto Zone, and basically any place selling car parts - but if you don't come right let me know I can buy it here in CT and courier it to you - will still be cheaper!!!

One question - from the price you said they quoted you - is that for the fan with the viscus included??

Frans kom hier dalk $$$ saam met die "pos"??

Nissan het gesukkel om die regte fan te kry vir my 99 4.2d.

2106006j10 was verkeerd maar
2106005d01 pas. R1840 en 1 week later.

Raka,

Here's a photo of my fan that came off my Patrol (3.0d 2002 Model) - it is the same as the one that is on Frans' s 99 4.2 D.



There is a couple of number imprints on the fan and I dont know which one is the actual part number - but none of the numbers is anything close to what Johan B posted above. Johan may be you could comment here on whether it is also the same as yours - then at least we have narrowed down the part number issue. Anycase the numbers imprinted on the plastic of my fan is:

450-13-6
SAE [PP]
>PP-GF3< OR >PP-6F3<
2W201

I got the exact same size fan from a spares shop in CT - same number and shape of the blades - like I said 150 bucks later!!!

Hope this helps - but my offer (check my first post) stands if you don't come right.

Regards

None of those look like a Nissan part number. Could it be that your car already had a pirate fan?

By the way, the >PP-GF3< is recycling information indicating that the fan is made out of polypropylene that is glass-filled for strength.

The first fan Nissan supplied looked identical to the old one but the holes were slightly smaller and did not 100% align with the holes on the coupling. The second one fits perfectly.

It is similar to the one on the picture above but I am not able to tell whether the holes is the right size.

Johan

Thanks - the holes fitted perfectly on my 3.0l D and on Frans's 4.2 D - we have exaclty the same fan - so it must be the right one!!

Raka what happened to you - you have not made any comments yet - did you come right??

I am not sure what the differences are, but the fans for different engines all seem to have different Nissan part numbers.

From this thread:

Gerrit Loubser wrote:Note that the Nissan part numbers for the fans of the TB45E, TB48DE, TD42 and ZD30 engined Patrols are all different. It might still be possible to fit a fan designed for a different motor, but I think it is likely that the blade pitch might vary between different fans, because they will be designed with a particular engine's heat load and operating speed range in mind.

By the way, the part numbers for the fans are:
TB45E: 21060-WJ100
TB48DE: 21060-VC200
TD42: 21060-06J01 or 21060-05D01
ZD30: 21060-2W201
