Any One Know Where Wrecked M35 Is . . .

[PetroDola]

Isnt the cap and inlet/outlet in the wrong spot on the 350z?

I have my old stockie here if you need race radiators to make one up off it, has yours failed Keir?

It has but the radiator shop i went to (High tech radiators) i believe has pulled a bit of a swifty on me.

They said theyd replace the oring on the top tank which was only barely leaking but suggested i pay for a custom top tank to be made up for $500. I refused and said replace the o-ring,

They ring back two hours later saying the top plastic tank cracked on refit. Basically sucked me in with no choice. (even though thats been known to happen with warpage but i bet they wernt soft with it). Its been at the shop since monday now apparently should get it back tomorrow but no word yet.

I shouldve consulted you about that rad kinda spewing i didnt. unless i got a pvr one made up.

Have you paid the yet?

Perhaps pay PWR for their "G35/V35" off the shelf unit might be better.

Should set you back about $800 I would think and is a bolt in item.

As a reference for anyone who has their radiator die this summer in Vic, Race Radiators can make up a custom radiator and include your OEM trans cooler for around the $700-750 mark.

So typical.

Havent paid it yet.. but im bound to pay for it. as theyve trapped me into making a custom tank and its virtually finished in a matter of hours.

I will however be using this option next time i have cooling system issues. and go straight to PWR and get one of theirs.

I live in qld and overheating is an issue you gotta be constantly aware of here.. In fact here you shouldnt really be going hard on hot days.

I remember there always being at least 1 boxer motor die on rexy meets , simply from overheating especially in summer!

100% hummidity ftl!

Its not so expensive if they have done all the work removing the radiator, it took a while as I remember, not as long as fitting up the Mishimoto one though.

[PetroDola]

was the mishimoto bigger as in core wise ?

and did it come in aliminum or brass ?

I'm thinking i should've got a brass one made up instead so it can be rebuilt on the cheap when knackered.

[scotty nm35]

Bigger core, 3 times thicker, all alloy.
