I've just picked up a PM35 with VQ35DE and noticed the top Radiator tank is on it's way out with a crack starting under the filler.  It sounds like this is a common issue. 

Which replacement radiator should I go for?  It looks like there are 2 sizes and two mounting types.  400 x 686 or 400 x 730?  I'm guessing one suits series 1 with the VQ25DET and the other Series 2 with the VQ35DE

Given the plastic top tank and cooling is a common issue I'm assuming it makes sense to go for the aluminium end tank option

Pin mount to rectangle mount?

I have not had a chance to pull it out yet and measure correctly but want to get one on order so I can hopefully get it changed out over the weekend.  

Thanks

The first and third links look to be for the VQ25det M35's whereas the second and fourth for the VQ35de M35's.

NM35 viscous fan shroud does not fit on PM35 radiator as it is not wide enough.

I've got a VQ25 NM35 and the cooling system is next in my to do list so I'm also keen to see what people recommend

Get a cooling mod from Scott and a Nismo thermostat. Much more important than a larger radiator (assuming no cracks of course).

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
