lol for 400 bucks I wasn't interested in stealens. I heard some good things about mishimoto from a guy who put some in skylines so I think it will be fine, fitment is horrible, but the quality isn't bad at all. Its decent and I also heard Koyo quality was dropping so this was the way to go.

Sorry for the mislabel in that previous post. But I did mention the G had the biggest radiator so if you were following you knew what was up

Oh, I know that I could just run an aftermarket ATF cooler. I am planning on installing one anyways, I just would rather have one in the rad as well, dual function. Helps to warm the fluid as well as cool it.

I know that it will in summer...
I'm in Utah in the winters. Cold Cold winters and sometimes my car is outside.

I need the faster warm up. The motor doesn't even warm up for about 5 min most mornings.

I think his korean doesn't come out in English very well.

He has had a stillen rad for about 3 months and it started leaking out the bottom. They have a warranty that takes forever to fill a claim. Fitment wasn't good.

i can tell you guys that the Mishimoto radiator for the G35 still fits like crap. Alot of modification to make it fit. I had to drill new holes and hack up the radiator support to get it to fit. Not to mention that horrible QC from Mishimoto. My weld tabs were in the wrong spots, they welded the wrong sized flange...


Look at the size difference between the "same" tabs



But once in, you notice how huge it is compared to stock. Hope it doesnt leak..

Damn dude, yours does fit bad. The top and bottom tabs are about 3/16 of an inch off, basically spread farther apart then oems. But it fit in fine none the less, however I wasn't trying to use the OEM fan shroud, I used Mishimoto slim fans that mount directly onto the radiator.
