After getting my TSB fixed at the dealer, my mechanic told me that G35 OEM radiators dont hold up that well and told me when the time comes i should look for an aftermarket radiator. He said that when people do need replacements , they dont use oem and use some cheap Korean radiator, and i dont want korean. lol

so what are some good performance brands ?

 

Koyo

thanks guys ! was trying to find a thread on here, sorry "/

 

Koyorad it is, anyone know a good dealer or distributor ?

thanks !

 

Thats my thread above, and I'm picking up a Koyo radiator this week. Since you're in SoCal too, maybe we can get a deal if we buy two together! Where in SoCal are you located? I sent you a PM....

 

Hey Suppa, Let me know how the fitment and quality is on that radiator.. got any links to where you bought it from??

 

that's kinda humorous
"OEM G35 radiators don't hold up well, but I have this Korean cheap crap that I can put in there...."

 

So OEM is good? lol

 

Haven't installed it yet, but I will post back here when I do. Probably get around to it 9/8 or so... I bought it at some local shop, I don't think they have a website.

 

The OEM radiators aren't very good quality. The tanks that hold the fluid are made of plastic and are crimped onto the metal with a machine. They won't last more than 5-10 years tops before they start leaking out of the plastic.

I'd go with an all aluminum radiator.

 

I found my radiator im going to buy but what else should i replace while its under the wrench ? I listed down the thermostat OEM, but what hosings do i need for this replacement ?

 

I bought my G into Infiniti and they said my radiator was going bad and leaking. They wanted $450 for an OEM and installment. For that price i rather go aftermarket. How did yours turn out? did you do it yourself and how easy/difficult was it?

 

anyone ?

 

I have KOYO'S OEM radiator replacement, not there all aluminum one and the fitment was 100%!

jutn35 get some SAMCO hoses while your at it.
