Looks like any other generic eBay radiator. You'll most likely have installation issues, but you can get it to fit.

I have the 3 row AMS radiator made for the Z on my car. There were a few mods needed to fit it but a well worth-it purchase here in Phoenix.

I just installed the first G35 specific Mishimoto last weekend and I give it two thumbs up!

What a coincidence, I as well just installed my mishimoto radiator over the weekend, however I got the 350Z radiator, Fan shroud, and hose since it's a little thinner. The car definitely drives cooler and better. My radiator came with a broken cap, but they sent me a replacement one already.

Hmmm. I wonder if this will fit with the Vortech kit...

Anyone?

If you want me to measure the distance between the fan shroud and belts, I can, but keep in mind that I have the 350z one. FYI, the top mounts on the 350z one doesn't line up with the radiator housing, but the stock fan shroud will mount but is a lot thicker then the mishimoto shroud. Let me know if you want some numbers.

I appreciate the offer. But, I have yet to install my kit. So, I'm not really sure how much room I have/need. I'm wanting to go ahead and replace the radiator as a precaution, since I'll have all of that taken apart already.

Thanks.

Comparing the stock radiator+fan with the mishimoto combo, the latter one is thinner where I can actually fit my torque wrench with extension where as before i couldn't.

Thanks. Now, is that fan/shroud combo something you got from Mishimoto? Or is it from someone else? I didn't see a G35 specific shroud listed on their website. Also, I noticed that the 350Z radiator is a little cheaper. You guys are running the 350Z one? Just had to secure it up top somehow?

Thanks again.

I have both the 350z radiator and fan shroud on my G35 from Mishimoto. I'm not sure why they don't list the 350z one to fit the G35 but it does. If I have known this ahead of time I would have gotten the G35 radiator, which has a thicker core, with the 350z shroud. The 350z is cheaper because of the thinner core. If you do get the 350z one you will only need to buy long bolts to secure it from the front through the holes that are designed for un-mounting the AC condenser from the radiator.
