same radiator. if you have an automatic transmission you'll want to get a radiator from another auto.

AC condeser

When you removed the radiator was it visible if the condenser could be removed with out removing the radiator or are they parts that have to be removed at same time because I'm going to need to replace my AC condenser and any extra info I can get before I do the job would be much appreciated.

Radiator will definitely have to be removed.

I too, am looking for condenser replacement instructions. Surprised to not find any here at G35D. On the Altima you don't have to remove the radiator, just tilt it back enough to pull the condenser free. But maybe not so for a G.

If the radiator has to come out then these instructions are a good start toward condenser removal.

Radiator seems loose

I know its been a while since the last post but just curious

I noticed that there was no specific mention of bolts being unscrewed and just some mention of "clips", as well as making sure the radiator is back in the "OEM mount holes"

Are there really no bolts that hold it in place?

I don't think there are. There's just the two turn style plastic things on top and tabs on the bottom that go into some slots.

So I read that you guys can unbolt the condenser from the radiator for your yr car but I have a 08 g35 sedan and the parts dept at infiniti are telling me that the radiator and condenser are one assembly .Does anyone know if this is true or are they trying to make some extra cash?

Yes, I have a repair manual and Infiniti g35 cars 2007 and after had radiator and condenser as one assembly. You take out the grill and hood latch. You do have to remove refrigerant lines from condensor. My manual covers mainly 2003-2006 but mentions 2007 and later. I bet you could still buy it on ebay or amazon and still save some money. The dealership is a rip off.

I'm replacing a busted radiator today and last night when I started with the removal process following the instructions posted here I didn't see whether or not I would have to remove the front bumper to get to this easier. I'm also having trouble with the shield that is around the engine fan. Any advice?

I just finished replacing my radiator and putting new silicone hoses on mine. Still need help?

Thanks Aredubu. I figured it out. After going through those instructions and pulling up some diagrams I got the new radiator in. Last month it was the Thermostat that went out and then the Camshaft Sensors. My car is at 129k and now it seems like every other month something goes out.

I'm at 166K and feel the same way. Did you end up needing to remove the front bumper?
