misconception , if you look at the OEM RAD , you only see the top part which is the plastic part.

where your acutally looking is the CORE , the honda one is acutally twice as thick , just image the OEM cut in half and stack up against each other.

now ive been running 2 days already with no issues overheating nor A/C issues.

So you kept a comparable amount of cooling surface area while freeing up room. Nice thought.

imma have to do somethin with mine..not sure if the cap is leaking..or if theres a small crack...either way its seen better days. the baby radiator actually looks pretty sick..frees up a lot of room too. Nice. Let us know if you end up with any issues when getting on it...especially with the turbo setup.

it's been a month? actually two.... any word on this being available? what about performance? any gains? what is the temp difference seen on this radiator. I am still running extremely warm even though I have an oil cooler and trans cooler installed. I want to be a lot lower than I am. maybe I need to get a working hood to let some of that heat out.

hey dues, they have it on their website now, http://www.mishimoto.com/nissan-maxi...tor-04-08.html

how is your feedback now that you have had it on for a while? also, when you installed the fans, how much depth did you lose relative to the distance from the oem one to the engine?

I have a Samco upper hose and stock lower hose. I dont recall any increase in capacity of coolant. Just fill with half coolant and half DISTILLED water
