If your car is an auto, you will have to get an external transmission oil cooler as I believe all of the aluminum models are for 6mt only. With that said, I woukd go with koyo - great fitment every time, and they make both all aluminum and plastic top.

No reason to do it if you're all stock and just daily driving. You're not exceeding the capacity of the stock setup.

If you have a totally stock G35 Infiniti G35 radiators, you'll find several inexpensive replacements!
For all of you giving misinformation about the availability of aluminum radiators for 5 AT owners both Mishimoto and Kyo make one to fit your rides. WTF all it takes is a little research and you're not giving our members the wrong answers!

I thought about getting an aluminum one but is it worth the bleeding headache and cost. Ive had a 240sx before and it was tough.

Is it really that bad? I have a crack in my stock radiator and I'm waiting on my Koyo to come in. I'm not a mechanic at all but I'm going to try to replace it myself. Got some Samco hoses and a new thermostat also.

Any tips?
