MishimotoMMRAD-350Z-07 Performance Aluminum Radiator Fits Nissan 350Z 2007-2009

Great product after seeing alot of people saying they had problems fiting it in a 350z , are lying this bad boy had to get the holes on the bottom a little bigger with a drill but took no more then 10min and just slide it in with the fans on it already and it should take 20min , if you need pictures message me on insta @sleepyvino

Ahh a shiny new mishimoto radiator. Glad I got another one for another vehicle. Already had two previously installed on my other vehicles. This one for my 08 350z was the one that required the most adjustments though. The aluminum tab "feet" where the radiator is held from the bottom had to be shaved down on one side, the original spot where the feet are attached are slightly off. Used my dremel and shaved about 1/4" off of one of the feet so it would slide in and hold properly. Took about an extra 40 minutes extra to total install time. Also, it didnt come with the fancy magnetic drain plug you see in the picture. It's a basic screw-in plug. I was really wanting the one in the picture with the mishimoto emblem on it, wonder why it was different?

Had to cut the slots a little larger that lock the fan and radiator together but other than that perfect radiator.

Over all quality is exceptionally high but as for as being a direct replacement with few modifications required, this is just not true. The jig you are using to make a radiator for my 2008 350z is way off. Would not have fit without my trusted dremil.

Don't be turned away about fitment issues it fits well easier install than I imagined.

Requires a bit of messing about.

I didn't buy this radiator here but straight from the manufacture, on the assurance that this was a "direct-fit" item and that I would not run into any problems. I even called them up and they confirmed such claims.... until you receive the radiator and the first thing you will notice is that the metal studs on top of the radiator that are supposed to go into the radiator support of your car, is short, length-wise!... You "can" get these studs to go through the opening of the support but they are not lined up perfectly in the middle, so it makes it impossible for you to attach the plastic quarter turn fasteners on top of these studs to keep your radiator attached to the car! (see pics for reference) Second, is that this radiator is so thick, it presses right up against the AC condenser parts on the sides... which will create rubbing and can damage these parts. 'Totally disappointed with the specs of this radiator which is supposed to be a "direct-fit" ... how can the weld points be short?... it's like the engineers didn't even bother to measure something so important in the manufacturing of this radiator. This was an expensive lesson because i had to pay for shipping on the return of this heavy item, across the country. Not happy... Please, do yourself a favor, learn from my mistake and pass on this radiator… unless you enjoy cutting up/ modifying parts of your car. Mine is a 2007 350Z, manual.

Fitment was ALMOST perfect.. Everything fit by I had to make some minor adjustments and the fans are a PAIN to get back in with this thicker radiator, but I promise it can be done without damaging anything. The top posts where it locks into the core support is the only place I ran into fitment issues, but even then it was minor. I also had to adjust the a/c condenser, there are little tabs that are adjustable on it if the radiator doesn't line up perfectly at first, so don't freak out if it's a little off at first. 4 stars for being pretty close to perfect. This was on an 07 350z VQ35HR
