Ive been following you for years now it seems. My 350z's radiator cracked at the top. So i got a new one and new hoses as well to go along with. This is going to help my friend and I out greatly this coming weekend!
Just did mine a few weeks ago. Look into getting a coolant breather tank or swirl pot. It constantly bleeds your system as you drive especially handy if you drift, race or drive aggressively on windy roads. Nice work bro.
Thanks man! Me and my dad got to the part of the install where you drop the radiator in and its supposed to sit flush with the AC condenser and sure enough it wouldn't fit because the bottom metal tabs on the radiator were slightly bent up, so I'm glad I found your video.
@@AnthonyJ350 Yep! Took about another half gallon once the thermostat opened up with the funnel attached. *glug,glug,glug* Next upgrade is brake pads, rotors, and steel braided lines if Z1 ever gets the rotors in stock (I ordered them 5 months ago in May😑)
Video helped out a lot! Thanks man! Just installed all three items in my sons 2004 350Z. I have it loose still and havent hooked up hoses either as the rubber boots on factory were dry rotted. So waiting on new ones to arrive any day now. Hopefully I can push up on it and install boots without taking it all out. I followed to the T and as long as I dont have to take out for the rubber feet I did it in one try thanks to your video!
Well I'm actually waiting for the boots bc the originals were dry rotted and waiting on the overflow reservoir. Should be here any day now. Should be running in a few days will update
I run the same setup on my 350z, works great but the heat here in Kuwait goes 50c+ I opted for the race fans from mishimoto. They are a bit louder but the car runs cooler. Definitely worth it.
Thanks for sharing. I would also recommend an oil cooler from Mishimoto to let the oil also help heat exchange ruclips.net/video/mBuYYUGPeiM/видео.html
Looks like a good quality unit...I would only consider it if I was in Auto Cross or road racing...After 15 years my stock radiator still works fine ,although just recently changed the fans with shroud...Tip: also put your heater to maximum to open flow to heater core at drain/fill... fill your radiator until the rear bleeder shows coolant, then close...squeeze upper hose to burp,then top off and cap... Fill your stock overflow tank with the correct mixture up to 1/2 inch from the bottom of the neck...Drive your car normally...After 5 heat/cool cycles ,the coolant will be exactly on MAX line of the reservoir....
Hi Anthony, Great video, I'm about to fit the same radiator to my 2006 350Z. What is that pressure gauge that located near the coolant bleed screw? I've seen them several times in other videos but cant find what they are 25:30 into the video. Thanks
That's pretty cool. I would do something very similar to fasten lines and wires. That condenser is a bit tricky since the tabs have to be aligned just right and getting it to pinch down takes some effort. Nice video 😎
why do your hoses look speckled? is it from road salt? I'm thinking of getting the Z1 Silicon hoses as well, but was just wondering if they just become speckled like that after time.
Very clean install, helped me a lot. I've installed the same along with new pulleys/belt, AC delete and new silicone pipes all round. Did you face any issues with it in the future?
Did anyone's fan shrouds feel flimsy when you first unbox them? I took mine out and you can see and hear flapping. Thanks for the video. It really helped.
@@AnthonyJ350 thank you for your insight I’ll still buy the fans and try them on with my aftermarket radiator,my radiator fans are still working fine and no overheating issues but I don’t like how they sound these aftermarket fans sound better to me personally
do you have a link on how to tape the electrical wires from the cooling fan?i just bought a rafdiator and fan shroud.i was thinking of heat shrinking it but im not quite sure
Excellent tutorial. My original radiator after 18 years is now having a leak. I will be going with Mitshimoto also. Although, I've never experienced any overheating issues with OEM even during our hot Florida summers. The one exception was during the original fan failing. My fans were replaced just a few years ago so I'll keep them. I like seeing my coolant resovior level so I won't paint mine black.😂 How dirty was your condenser? Any difference in AC Performance?
BEWARE: The G35 Mitshimoto radiator may not fit your G35. The Upper &Lower alignment pegs were not the same as OEM, thus would not fit. Spoke with Mitshimoto and their measurements are like those with the received unit. Top is 685mm, should be 678mm. Bottom is 652mm, should be 658mm. My theory is Mitshimoto must have taken an early G35 as their template and assumed all 03 to 07 were the same. Measure your pegs distance before ordering!
@AnthonyJ350z I have been trying to figure out why my radiator isn’t sitting evenly and is loose on the passenger side. However, on the driver side, the radiator sits tight so I’m just thinking you would be because of the thing that you mentioned on this part of the video 8:56. Thank you!
@@AnthonyJ350 I’m not sure, I bought the car from the previous owner like that so I’m not sure. But the radiator is putting pressure against my cold air intake
Hey Anthony, how's the fan holding up? I did some research and found a couple of people saying that the Mishimoto fans overheats, thus oem fans are better, I bought some Mishimoto fans already but hesitant to install, summer where I'm at reaches 115 the highest and barely 30's in the winter, my z is usually only my weekend/spirited driving car. what do you suggest?
@@AnthonyJ350 yes, I have the mishimoto radiator, fan and thermostat oil cooler, but have not yet installed. You still recommend running the mishimoto fan and run oil cooler?
@@kouvue1010 Ya I do. I had to test my car and let it idle through 8 cooling fan cycles, needle never moved on the gauge. Just make sure you do a proper bleeding procedure and use oem coolant and mix it to the ratio you need with distilled water.
@@johnle1711 It's referred to as a petcock valve. It's basically a drain plug. They're plastic, as they get old they can break because they're typically plastic.
@@AnthonyJ350 I tried unscrewing it to drain my coolant. It came half way off, then I tried to screw it back in, and now it keeps spinning like it broke, but I don’t feel like anything snapped. It feels like over tightening a screw and it keeps turning except the peacock valve is not fully flush, so it might leak.
@@AnthonyJ350 Shit eh its that bad, i went to the shop to get my thermostat done and they are now telling me my rad is clogged because the bottom rad hose is staying cold. Do you thin i need it or should i to and bleed it again. 2003 350z with 50000km
@@AnthonyJ350 I’m about to replace mine with a Mishimoto I just figure getting slim fans would make it easier to fit but from what I’ve seen I shouldn’t really have an issue with the stock fans.
hello how are you? i wanted to ask, where /what type of transmission oil cooler is on your vehicle? I just purchased this radiator x-line series and mishimoto told me i needed separate transmission cooler.
@@AnthonyJ350 Hi ....oh okay! I was wondering.....lol. thanks for responding. Btw, the aftermarket running lights/turn signal lights where did you get the installation instructions? Thank you
Thanks for the install information. I have a 2004 350z Touring and I have the M-Spec CAI racing from Z1 and the Z1 high flow cats and the Invidia Gemini Catback exhaust. I was viewing your header installation and wanted to ask, could you tell a difference in torque n horsepower after the header installation? I was thinking of purchasing the Tomei V2 headers but I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. Any thoughts etc.....? Thank u
@@slide50t I haven't driven the car hard yet. Still doing some wiring. I will say it revs a lot easier and smoother. In theory the midrange power and throttle response will be much better.
Hi, they already did the installation of the radiator and the fan mishimoto the workshop told me that the fan mishimoto gives a problem when you want to use the ac they say that it does not get to infriate well how true is that ?

Did anyone's fan shrouds feel flimsy when you first unbox them? I took mine out and you can see and hear flapping. Thanks for the video. It really helped.
Should feel solid once you mount it to the car.
Can you still install the mishimoto fans with a non mishimoto aftermarket aluminum radiator??? Thanks for the step by step process 🤝
I'm not sure on that one. I haven't seen it done personally. If another brand let's you use the OEM fans, just use those.

Hi. How much coolant did you use in total?
You only need 1 jug when mixing with water.

Are the bottom "feet" of the radiator going into their spots completely?

I have a petcock by the firewall on my 2015 quest. which other models have that kind of bleeder valve.
Not sure
My 07 HR z with mishimoto came without overflow when I bought it
Should put it back in
@@AnthonyJ350 definetly will idk why it’s like that lmao 🤣
reason tabs/mounts were janky cause its a mishimoto lol. Always go with a koyo! my 2 cents..
Thanks for the feedback!
Do you need to use the mishimoto fans, as mine is only the radiator
They have the best fit
where do I get that funnel with the cap that fits the Z???
It's a universal kit. Your local auto parts store will have it.
Nice!
Thanks for watching!
What’s the link to the fan setup from mishimoto? Thanks I’m advance.
I would just search on the Mishimoto website.
Those are valves? Some people think they are drain plugs. I loosened mine, and now it can’t be tightened.
Which part in the video?
@@AnthonyJ350 the bottom part of the radiator with the aluminum bolt that looks like it can be unscrewed. I think you called it a valve?
Is that not a drain plug?
@@johnle1711 It's referred to as a petcock valve. It's basically a drain plug. They're plastic, as they get old they can break because they're typically plastic.

Where can I buy hose clamps? it is a very good idea !!!
Your local auto parts store should have them.
@@AnthonyJ350 ok thanks 🙏
Will that slim fan work on the hr ?
Not sure, check Mishimoto for what years they list.
Should both fans turn on doing the diagnostic mode I did it and only the driver side fan is turning on
Doesn't seem right. Try idling the vehicle and turn on the air conditioning, see if both fan kick on.
@@AnthonyJ350 is that safe haven’t added coolant in the car yet
@@DzDaBeaStt Add coolant first. Here's the bleeding procedure ruclips.net/video/uWyktEa0K0c/видео.html
Is the self diagnostic mode required
No, it's just to check operation
Is it just one time to remove the bleeder valve screw?(first time)
You can do it once at the beginning. Then at the end when it has cooled down give it a little crack to let any other air out.
Im just doing it rn when I put water in the cone I removed the bleeder, water did not come out when I squeezed the upper hose its started coming out
I rev it couple times its not giving hot air but temperature looks good
My car is pretty stock, but I do want to replace my radiator. Would you recommend the Mishimoto to a stock 350z?
For sure with the slim fans as well. Durability mods are always good if they're engineered well.
@@AnthonyJ350 Awesome, thank you! I'll go for it then ^^
so im about to do this how tight will it really be with stick fans? I dont wanna spend extra cash right now.
Pretty tight considering in the video my slim fans just fit. I would just save the money by the fans and do the job once.

Will the fans fit an 07 Mishimoto radiator? I’m about to order one but one person said they would and another said they wouldn’t.
No idea on that one. There's no fans listed for your year?
@@AnthonyJ350 not for slim fans 😩 I’m trying to make my Z sound like a gaming computer if I can lmao

does walmart have one of those funnel cap things. i need one haha
Not sure, did you try looking in the automotive department?
Will there be any issues if i connect the fans connectors vice versa?

how do you do self diagnostic

Yup that's another way to secure them.
Where did you route the transmission oil line? Did you have to get a separate cooler for it?
Don't have a transmission oil line in this application, it's a 6 speed manual.
