I couldn't find any with the trans sooler. They all said "Suit Auto" but then you'd ask them if they had the trans cooler and they'd say that they dont.

Even still, it's not a bad price if you don't want an external oil cooler. Actually one of these might fit a bit tidier in the engine bay: http://www.makcotransmissionparts.com/708-4739.html

Pretty good is just about the understatement of the year. I suspect by the time I'm done with my Koyo and external oil filter I'll be up around the $600 mark doing the work myself.

I'm thinking that one of these is what I'll need: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13011/

So for those of you that don't use the factory transmission cooler in the radiator, do you have a thermostat on your transmission oil cooler? If so, what do you use?

Similar, but longer. About as big as the MASA C34 wings..

Yeah I don't like the overlap of the Nismo either. I saw one that was the same as the Aero wing but just a little bit longer. Looked great, but no idea who made it and I can't find it again for the life of me.

Was this in a car yard or were you just measuring some car on the sly?

Any thoughts on how a 19x9.5+30 would fit on a M35? I'm going for flush but don't want to have a car that rubs like crazy or needs to be stupidly low with max camber to get away with the wheel/tyre combo.

Did you send them off to have them custom made or did you pick them up from Japan?

Looking good mate!

Looks the goods from the small pics. Keen to see some bigger ones - still undecided on size of wheels for mine.

Nope, very few of the options do unfortunately.

V35 Koyo rad ordered. Taking suggestions on trans coolers. Is it worth getting one with a thermostat so the oil warms quickly on the cold mornings?

Yeah I thought so. Waste of $$.

Probably. While on the topic, is there any benefit to these silicon radiator hoses? I assumed it was just for the bling but is there any actual point to it?

Yeah I know. I can kind of understand the argument but I'm beginning to think that I'll just order a Koyo from the States.

So Tonkins don't recommend alloy ones at all. I brought it up a few times and every time he just told me to replace it with a standard one. His main argument is that they cost lots of money and if they leak they can't repair them. FYI: Koyo V2588 from Street to Track for $545 delivered, Mishimoto MMRAD-G35-03 $475 delivered. Still not sure what to do!

Emailed Jesse ~AUD$1,730 for a Koyo. Dropped into Tonkins tonight but the two fellas there told me to come back tomorrow "while the boss is around". Flipped through their parts catalogue but couldn't even find anything for a V35.

Considering the Koyo option from the states is around $430 it's going to be hard to beat I think. That said if there's a 100% guaranteed drop in and everything fits perfectly option I'd be tempted to spend a bit more..

Way cheaper. Just rang a place that Adrad referred me to and not only could he not find a part, I asked for a ball park price on a R33 Koyo full alloy radiator (that was what he was trying to sell me despite saying "V35, G35" over and over and over) which was $900. Tonkins as in the car audio place?

Fenix don't do a full alloy radiator to suit M35/V35. They have them listed but they are just 350z ones. Full credit though, once I got onto them the guys were pretty helpful and obviously didn't want to sell me the wrong thing (like SO many people I've spoken to in the last day). Top of my list right now is a Koyo V35 radiator. Wbperformance.com will do them for USD $405 shipped, just not sure how trustworthy his site is. Otherwise USD $452.50 shipped on eBay.

Sold.

Thanks I'll try him tomorrow.

I'm in SA.. Emailed them today but no reply. Do you have an Aussie phone contact?
