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.

Well I wish you the best of luck trying to get the Ron Davis radiator to fit. All the CSF radiators I installed all fit like a glove and was a direct fit and were excellent quality.

Did you do anything extra to the CSF radiators? Brass bleed valves, etc. Lots of folks have had issues at the 2 year mark.

I have plenty faith in M.A.M to get it to fit

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