I haven't seen the fitment of those, and considering the V35 and M35 radiators are different... Who knows how it slots in.

Wasn't it a V35 one you fitted in my car last year? I think it was a little higher, and you had to trim the shroud a little to get it all to fit, but you reckoned that it was straightforward...

Wasn't too hard to fit, but definitely not drop in. I think I had to trim about 15mm off the end of the shroud so it wouldn't rub on the fins. I remember the core being about 2 inches wider or something.

Just make sure you bleed the system real good after.

This is true. Keep a good eye on the gauge for the first few drives, also check the rear bleed point and the overflow when it's cold the next morning.

M35Woah had a positive experience with the Alloy Fenix rad I think he got off eBay

Fit without mods. Just make sure you bleed the system real good after.

Fenix Radiator

Ebay fenix radiator, fits almost perfect. Just mention to them you want it for an auto. I think I got mine the same day I ordered it.

The seller said I may have to trim the shroud but we didn't bother, the thermos are still really efficient.

Just remember, completely different setup above, no clutch fan and the shroud has thermo's instead. I don't think you can compare it to the NM35 for ease of fitment. I would want to fit one before saying it was drop in, as all the aftermarket radiators I have fitted haven't been.

Thought I should update this

I ended up buying this one that I linked to earlier. I was able to pick it up locally so had the car sorted out Friday night

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RADIATOR-NISSAN-STAGEA-M35-V35-AUTO-MANUAL-2002-2007-KOYO-BRAND-NEW-/171244943165?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27defe773d

It was 100% drop in. Didn't have to trim a thing everything hooked up perfect.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
