OEM is good but $$$

The CA18DE from the sentra should fit. Midas or autozone. No idea what brands they sell or quailty

Thanks Rat...

I heard that the GMB is a good one. Seems that once you replace the water pump the fan in longer balanced and then it does notlast very long. I need some advise on how to fix that issue as well.

Have you still got your stock fan or an electric fan on your car? What size fan must i put on and what sensor must i use to put on the fan and where is the best position for it?

I have always used the stock fan. Never heard about that issue.

Getting a replacement waterpump is going to be tough.
About 6 years ago I bought a GMB pump, it worked brilliantly from the start and was only R140.

A couple years later I bought another GMB waterpump just for the sake of having a new one again., it failed within 5km. The replacement for that lasted around 100km...I then returned to the first/original GMB water pump again.
