Now for the bad news.
Being that it's made for the 350Z, it does not fit quite right. Not quite a plug-and-play.
First it does not fit the top mounting points. Good news is that some longer bolts and I can use the points where the A/C cooler mounts but I forgot to take a pic of that.
Next, you have those ugly holes where the oem one did mount. I might have UMS weld me up some kind of adapter, we'll see.
The bottom mounting holes on the subframe needed to be modified a little.
I had to trim the upper hose and cut down one of the fan supports so the driver's side coolant hose would fit.
I think that is about it. If anyone wants to get one let me know and I can give you more details on the changes. It only took me ~2.5 hours to install, not too bad.
