What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

The Russians have successfully made FAST obsolete.

Ok so it is "214140P600 - Gasket Radiator" I'm guessing?

It has water in it at the moment, I'll let it sit for a while and I'll check out the levels in a half hour or so.

Thanks to my new best friends at DBA, I have a new set of DBA 4000 Clubspec T3 brake rotors on their way, and thanks to Jethro I've got an idea of where to get some decent braided lines from. Combine all that with some HPX pads and some decent brake fluid, and it should be a pretty decent braking package without having to worry about getting calipers engineered.

[jasevr4]

Haven't ordered anything yet, but it's good to know that there are options..

craig has one, and ill have one in a few weeks

If the top tank is cracked you will definitely know about it. The Oring seals the whole underside of the top tank and usually only weeps when warm, sometimes it sprays out from one side.

yeah I looked at the one they had taken out, about a 4 inch split (hairline) just above where the tank mounts to the rest of it

As above, Iain and Craig have chinese radiators in.

I have a custom Race radiators item and Scott has a Mishimoto radiator.

If you are going an eBay special like Craig and Iain, make sure you get a G35/V35 radiator and not one for a Z33 (350z).

They are not the same.

[zei20l]

yup the radiator cap is in the wrong spot for the intake vent that sits over the radiator.

if wherever you get it from specifies both Z33 and G35/V35 in the description, make sure its the right one.

craig had ours moved, and the mount points - the cheapo ones are good quality but the mount points may be off a little

So the Mishimoto radiators mount up quick and easy?

yes/no

scott had to shave abit of the fibreglass rad support.. IIRC

[zei20l]

from what i have read and/or seen only the VQ25 radiators are the same, the VQ35 ones are wider, but putting them into a VQ25's spot is no biggie. trim away and it will be fine.

i used a hacksaw blade

Well, they do fit in place.... sorta

I brought it in initially, but could not get it to fit without cutting a ton of the support away.

I sold it and got my unit made up.

Still had to trim the radiator support to fit mine, but at least the fan shroud fits straight on and it is a very, very nice unit

Fan shroud does not fit back on the Mishi unit.

yes.... quite a bit

[zei20l]

thats a good point with the shroud.

i trimmed the sides off and it fitted on the wider radiator core. wasnt a big deal!

[jasevr4]

Yep I think Iain is right, not much is going to fit without a bit of trimming.

Might see if I can get a Koyo (http://www.frsport.com/Koyo-V2588-36MM-Aluminum-Racing-Radiator-Infiniti-G35-Coupe---Sedan_p_15744.html) for a reasonable price..

And of course a trans cooler as well, because plenty of them say "suit auto", but I'm guessing that just means they'll fit, because none of the photos show them with the trans cooler stuff on them.

[iamhe77]

Fine choice

[jasevr4]

Got some guy telling me that a 350z Koyo will fit. I know the g35 guys have fit a 350z radiator in their cars but surely it's twice the modding to get them working in ours..

[iamhe77]

350z radiators have the cap on the wrong side.

It will foul with your intake funnel into the airbox.

I am led to believe that the pins at the bottom of the tank that slip into the support holes are located a little too far forward or back (can't remember) on the 350z radiators.

[jasevr4]

Yeah, I'm going to stick with the G35 one. Still want the OTR intake.
