Default Coolant Leak

I've searched high and low, anyone know were I can pick one up. Or can setup a different one that isnt plastic? Car is currently stuck because of the FN Dealership topping off antifreeze then not bleeding system.

check car-par.com and call around, pretty sure you can find a junk yard that will be willing to sell you one for cheap.

other than that, call a dealership and have them order it

Is it 21440-5V000?

If you need it right away, call your closest Nissan or Infiniti dealer to check pricing and availability. They won't often volunteer it, but with a couple of keystrokes they can check stock at all the dealers in the area. This will save you from calling 10 different places to check stock.

Found it, its destroyed but still works. Was able to resolve this last night. I mean I gotta be honest this car is the most difficult there is when it comes to bleeding the antifreeze. It's never perfect. I never really get hot hot air when car is idle.

This is the drain **** for the radiator, and is not the same as the Bleeder Screw. The Drain **** does not screw in vs the bleeder screw from what I can tell. Anyone else know where I can easily pick one up. Mines is destroyed.

You can find a OE replacement radiator for less than $100
or you can upgrade to something like a Koyo

You could try bar's leak stopper. I've had luck with it in the past if it's a slow leak. A radiator repair shop might also be able to fix it if you pull it out and bring it to them.

I google 350z Radiator OE and found tons on result for less than a $100 shipped

I also found the part numbers for the bleeder screw for you

21440-5V000 ****-Water Control
21481-89900 Packing
92500-AR000 Connector-Heater Hose

The drain plug and seal for the radiator keeps coming up as the same number for the bleeder screw and seal

Thinking about purchasing a Dual Core Aluminum Radiator from Ebay. Friend said he had a lot of luck with this on his Z, and Silvia. Thoughts?

Their description of which car it fits makes no sense G35/350Z have different mount position plus there is a difference between automatic and 6MT radiators.
They also list it fitting G35/350z 2003-2009 which makes no sense since they all have different motor V35DE/VQ35HR/VQ37HR. I wouldn't if you want a double row go with Koyo or any other known name brand.
