Viscous Fan NL 6g74

[motorazr]

I am looking for a cheaper alternative than the MM replacement for the radiator fan, around $500 is a bit too steep.
Has anyone found anything cheaper and suitable for the NL 3.5l 6g74 motor that will fit.

I am running one off my nissan 300zx.... apparently its the same or similar to a navara one..... the difference was the fan does not sit quite as far into the shroud and the fan is a little larger in diameter 5mm or so

opinions vary but I just went with a cheapie from ebay, some people claim they don't work right / die after a short time etc etc but I have had one installed for about 3 years now with no problems:

Cheapest option:

Slightly more expensive option (dayco)

Thanks for the replies, i did find a post which referred this replacement as being ok. Anyone had experience with it?

It’s probably fine, I expect most of the cheaper aftermarket ones would be very similar in terms of performance / durability. Only thing I would say is get one from Australia rather than the states, even if it does cost a bit more just to avoid any hassle if it doesn’t work or needs to be returned for whatever reason.
