It's easy. I installed the Mishimoto rad/fan kit over the summer definitely worth the switch. Especially when you pull the factory radiator out and see the difference.

Yeah I am pulling out the rad tomorrow morning. Looks pretty simple for the most part pull the fan off the rad and everything else is pretty self explanatory. I got another stock oem rad from advance auto for now. But will switch it out in about a month and a half. I am looking at getting the Megan racing radiator. And I got another oem (Crappy plastic top and bottom) because I need my car running to get me to work Sunday Vs waiting 3-5 days for a new rad to come in.

Just to save everyone time and effort. Go to Nissan for Oem thermostat. I changed the thermostat prior to swapping my radiator out. Thinking it was bad only to find it was my radiator. The Duralast thermostat that autozone and pep boys has a completely set up. I was thinking that maby it was in improvement. NOPE. Stay Oem for the thermostat my cars runs like a beast again! And much cooler also.
