Default Turbonetics Intake pipe install issues, HELP!

I recently installed the turbonetics kit on my 2003 G35 Sedan, and everything went smoothly except installation of the two intake pipes that run around the engine fan and pulleys. I ended up having to remove the engine fan to fit the pipes in. The pipes never lined up with my brackets and are well in the way of the fan. Is there something I am doing that is way off? Has this happened to anyone before? I ran the car with out the fan for about a mile with no issues at 35mph but It was a test run for exhaust leaks and plan on keeping it parked til the fan gets back in somehow. I plan on taking it to my local shop to ask them for advice if I cannot find a solution.

thanks!

the turbonetics kit was meant to work with the electric fans, if your 2003 Sedan has the mechanical fan that is the problem. you need to switch over to Electric fans, not all 03 sedans had the mechanical fan, but the early model ones had it. i had that issue a couple times with customer cars. is yours a mechanical fan Sedan?
