No bolts, just some small slots in the bottom.

I just helped Dave M35 with some info on fitting, I will just cut and paste my response.

Yeh, I had a few issues too. The right hand twist fitting for the top I had to ditch the rubber, the pin was out a little too much. Looks like a manufacturing fault but it works ok.

The fiberglass had to be cut out around the radiator cap, not too much, just use a nice sharp blade so you can remove the cap easily. the fiberglass section must be further away on the G35.

The lower condenser slots are too wide like you said, but it doesn't seem to matter once the top bolts are done up. Just make sure the flat part sticking out stays above the slot then do the top bolts up.

The fan shroud is too short, I had to cut the edge off on the airbox side. Trial fit it before you put the rad in the car, you will see the section you need to remove.

I really like this size converter Josh: http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

Chuck in your standard wheel size and offset, and your standard tyre wheel and offset, and then throw in your new wheel size and offset.

You can then muck around with tyre size until you get something reasonably common that puts the speedo about right.

FWIW I'm running 245/40 18s on my 18x8s, but 245/45 is the better fit.

235 or maybe a 245 if you can fit it?

I'm not good on the internal clearances.... but know that space is an issue a little more stretch will give you room.

Someone else know?

Try looking at G35 sedans with the same sized wheels.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
