Hey guys,
I have run into a problem finding an upgraded radiator for the G35. I have tried the Koyo 350Z rad in the car and everything fits and the bottom brackets are fine. In order to make it fit though, I will have to do a lot of cutting on the upper radiator support. Not something I really want to do in one of the most obvious areas in the engine bay...front and center. So....I am looking for anyone who might know of a company that might be developing such a product. Thanks.

Found it. Griffin is the manufacturer. The image description: "To date, Griffin is the only manufacturer of high-capacity radiators for the G35. This is for a G35 AT Sedan."

Hey Steve
I am running the Griffin in mine right now. It's developed for the AT sedan, not the MT, and has an additional cooler built into the bottom tank, used ffor the ATF cooling. The fitment might be an issue on your car...call me for more info if you wish.

One thing I do NOT like about griffin radiators is that they are epoxied, and if they leak at the seam between the end tank and coils, they can not be repaired like one that is welded. Mine leaked on one of my cars after only two years, and I was forced to junk it.
