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).
