Default Nissan 350z 2004 Radiator

Hi to all...

Need some advice on my Radiator that cracked on the upper fiberglass part . Was checking around and i see Mashimoto and others have aluminum replaces.

It is worth to go aftermarket if i don't track the car as they state they are bigger? Also mine is a DE motor so it need to have the integrated, internal transmission cooler as it is automatic.

Appreciate your feedback and thanks in advance.

As deadeye said, just go with an OEM radiator. I don't know of an aftermarket radiator that has a built-in trans cooler, so you would most likely need an external trans cooler for any aftermarket radiator. Mishimoto and Koyorad for sure don't have built-in transmission coolers.

My Mishimoto also fit like garbage, so I wouldn't recommend them anyway for a radiator.

Thanks for the suggestion. I called Nissan and they don't have it in stock and the wait time is 1 month. In top of that the price went up to $500.00.

Decided to go aftermarket and they stated that it have the internal cooler as that was my main concern also and the Radiator have Lifetime Warranty which is a plus. They had it in stock so will be installing on Thursday and let you guys know how it works.

Thanks once again.
