Will check tomorrow, 350z Radiators have the inlet/outlets on opposite sides, as well as the filler neck being in the center (which will require you to hack a hole in the core support)

You may have just gotten a messed up rad from the factory if it didnt fit right... I would contact them, they are really good with their warranty and tech support stuff.

Well, it's already in and running so it's no biggy.

I'd be kinda surprised though if Mishimoto "accidentally" made a rad that was too big in just about all aspects. It's no big deal though like I said, I didn't really expect it to be that easy.

I bought the 350z model with shroud and hoses. Fitment of course is not dead on since it's not made for the car, but the craftsmanship is not that great. The mount point for the fan were welded on crooked and the radiator cap that it came with did not hold pressure. However overall i'm satisfied with the purchase, the car cools much faster and the fan are A LOT more powerful and slimmer.
