My radiator in my '06 sedan cracked. I don't have a lot of time or money right now. Any recommendations on brands or where to order? I found the denso and Pro Part radiator on RockAuto but can find any reviews on either.

 

JB weld it shut and it can last you till you an afford a replacement.

Typically OEM parts from a salvage yard will do you well!

 

Depends where you are located. In almost every city or town there is at least one or two good radiator shops and they are almost always what a lot of dealerships use for customer pay repairs. Try to call the local dealer parts department and see if you can get an answer from them who they use.

 

I know Denso is a reputable Japanese manufacturer. They make good ignition parts, not sure about radiators. I would guess they are good.

 

serious go to a salvage yard and find one.

 

I'd go with the Denso unit. They are OEM on a lot of Japanese cars. I'm not sure if they are the OEM manufacturer for the G35 however. Look on your OEM radiator for any marks identifying a vendor


A lot of the parts on our cars are subcontracted out to other vendors to make. I'm all for OEM parts, but most of the time they are overpriced and you can buy the same part, labeled by the vendor that made it, for cheaper. The issue is identifying what vendor made the specific part.

 

Denso is good, but I thought their radiators were just ok after installing a few units. Koyo seems to make a better product when it comes to radiators.

 

Stick with Koyo, it seems all the other aftermarket ones have fitment issues.

 

Btw, Tunersports.com has really good pricing with fast, free shipping.

 

For the g35 application I did not experience any fitment issues with denso radiators.

 

depends on if you go with stock size replacement or whether you get a larger one....you mentioned you were on a budget... I'd JB weld it and see if it holds. Most of the time it will and you can save up for a month or 2 and get an aftermarket thats much better. I have the mishimoto. Fits fine - had to massage it a little though.
