A cooler engine means a cooler tranny ususally. A little bird landed on my shoulder the other day and told me there maybe be an aluminum radiator in about 2 months. Stay tuned for details.
As for the cooler, it will only work if you do not have the heatsink type cooler. Not all 6th gen Maximas have the heatsink type. I for instance do not have the heatsink type and I have an 04 SE.

how true is this right here ^^
i was about to buy a koyo one from importrp. performance aluminum cooler or OE spec?
That is why I have an additive that is supposed to drop the temp. I think it's called Hyperlube or something like that. Was going to get Royal Puple additive but read reviews about how it changes temp only 1-2 degrees vice the stuff I have which was 8-10 degrees. An improved thermostat that opens at a cooler temp would help alot.

http://www.nismoparts.com/catalog/?section=829#1487 this is a good find. Good job Look-at-my-MAX. Not hard to install at all. Actually very easy. hose clamp removal and three bolts. Probably only need a couple rags for coolant, a pair of pliers, and a 10mm socket. 5 min job.
List Price $232.26
Our Price $182.88
This low-temp thermostat for the VQ35 engine is a direct bolt-on replacement for the orginal. It opens at 154 deg. F compared to 170 deg. F for the stock thermostat. Ideal for supercharged, turbo-charged or sustained high RPM engines. Includes new gasket.
Just trying to get of hold of things here. So a tranny cooler will not work with our 05 5sp auto maximas? This thermostat would be an alternative? I tried looking for one on summit racing's website but couldn't find it.

I have an 04 SE and I installed a tranny cooler, no heatsink though!!!
I guess my question is whether or not 05 5sp transmissions have a heatsink or not then? If not, then a tranny cooler can be installed?

Couple years earlier I asked about installing a cooler and everyone said that it's not needed. Now we are talking about not being able to install one. What did I miss. Aftermarket tranny cooler can be added pretty much to any car if there are cooling lines available. My understanding is that our cooling lines hook up to the last "coil" in our OEM radiator which provides much less cooling then a dedicated tranny cooler, not too mention that the OEM radiator really shares the heat between your tranny and the engine.
Lots of mods
