Ron Davis radiator

Custom Ron Davis radiator should help keep temps in check

Did you just have them make a custom one-off piece for you? Or have they done this before for 370Z? I note they only have 350 and Titan radiators listed on their website. Includes condenser?

I thought the RD radiator wouldn't work with the condenser? That's a really attractive option if it no longer requires me to lose AC. Where's you get it?

It’s a custom built radiator for me, yes it includes the condenser

I can imagine a few guys here go “darn it one more thing to add to the build, but I must have it!!!” lol

I'm tempted to just buy it and mothball it until my current CSF ***** the bed. Again.

Ballpark price?

My room has a long block, intercooler, hood vents, intercoler kit, and my turbo kit. Running out of space.

I purchased a Ron Davis radiator before and when I went to install it with the condenser it would not fit. I heard of the cooling benefits from the Ron Davis radiator but,without major modifications it will never fit with the condenser there is not enough room. I would not purchase the Ron Davis radiator unless you don’t mind driving your Z with no air condition or your Z is a track only vehicle. Also I seen that the price of the Ron Davis radiator is high with shipping. I ended up installing the CSF radiators on all my Z’s and I never had an issue with any of them leaking coolant. I did notice cooling benefits after installing the CSF radiators though with the CSF all aluminum triple pass design the CSF radiators will cool your VQ37HR engine very efficiently and when I used my heat gun I observed a drop in coolant temperature over the Genuine Nissan OEM radiator. Also I purchased intercooler cores and radiator caps directly from CSF radiators they gave top notch customer service I would purchase a CSF radiator again.

I will retain my Ac, condenser is mounted to the rad. You just have to modify thenrad support.

It’s already been done to a small group of vehicles.
