Koyo radiator install...questions???

Even then it is just relocating the top mounting brackets. It is a little bit more expensive, but doesn't have to be jigga'd in, like some have had to do with the koyo. I got mine from Sharif@Forged.

^^^totally correct...but not everyone is a high roller like you, George! 
^^^ I mentioned the PE to Todd, but since he is doing the install himself, he's going to say a some money going with Koyo. Also, the Koyo requires minor mods to fit the 350Z, but lots of mods to fit the G35.

I would suggest the 36mm with the APS kit, to avoid the potential for interference. Some people have installed the 56mm and they claimed they dropped in...others have had some fitment issues.
Nothing fits the G35 perfectly. Well, they fit, but you need to make some brackets for the top rad mounts...easy to do...but not a drop-in affair.

Interesting... why is there a conflict on the 56mm? Some say it fits, some say it doesn't? What's true? Much difference between the 56 and 36?
What is the stock radiator size in milimeters?

On the dyno, I never saw a massive issue with even the factory OEM cooling capabilities, so I figured that 36mm (nearly twice as thick as stock, would be more than sufficient.
Any competent shop can make any of the rads work with the TT kits. It might just take some creativity, and a little custom work. But to simplify things, we usually suggest the 36mm Koyo. Hope that helps.
