Anyone put an alloy radiator in an m35 yet?

Fenix are a good choice - made in NZ, not china, and good local support. Discounts for NSW club members too.

Would a 350z radiator fit a m35 rx?

[bigkevracer]

350z radiators have the cap on the wrong side.

It will foul with your intake funnel into the airbox.

I am led to believe that the pins at the bottom of the tank that slip into the support holes are located a little too far forward or back (can't remember) on the 350z radiators.

[joshm35]

Well there you go.

[bigkevracer]

Yup. Was on the previous page. You need a G35 or V35. Click back a page and you'll find all the discussion about it.

ok installed the castor arm bushes tonight. massive change in the car. worth every cent!

also put the rest of the cat-back exhaust on to see the sound, not a bad note coming from it

aaaand put on the blitz BOV, i get more flutter, but im cool with that. it scares the old ladies around my suburb lol

[bigkevracer]

Sooo... Iain... you'd have a spare stock BOV now, right?

Castor arm bushes are those poly bushes Craig was doing, right? Were yours just shagged or are the poly ones that much different?

As Duncan would know as an SAU NSW member I fitted a 42mm one to the R33 which required no trimming at all but needed a little fiddling with the aircon temp sensor (some R33's have no issues with the sensor).

I also fitted the same one to the stagea which required a small amount of trimming of the central part of the shroud (due to the extra thickness of the core).

Both are working well and quality looks good. Pricing for SAU members and speed of delivery get a tick from me.

I rewired my walbro. Running pretty good now. And my z32 and injectors arived yesterday. Now just to find a vl in a wreckers somewhere.

Let us know how you get on; it's on my list to do before summer.

The OEM rad is barely adequate in hot weather, and nowhere near good enough once you put a bigger intercooler in front of it; which is also on my list...

[iamhe77]

Whenever you're ready mate

....The OEM rad is barely adequate in hot weather....

Really? Care to elaborate? Mine pretty much sits on just over half way in 40+ deg heat in peak hour.

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.

[bigkevracer]

Since you're in Adelaide, did you just call someone like Tonkins or Adrad? Adrad are Koyo dealers too.

Although I'm rapidly finding out that even with trade accounts a lot of this stuff is cheaper overseas...

[jasevr4]

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?
