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.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
