These were beautifully made pieces, and as you may know, the rotary engine runs majorly hot and has its own special cooling needs. Thus, I believe the comparison is apt. I'm not knocking this effort, but it's high, no way around it.
I feel it's unfair to compare radiators for different manufacturers and car models. I was more referring to comparing another radiator for the 370z. I don't believe there are any others. Also, keep in mind that this is a radiator and condenser combination.

I will admit that it does seem to be higher than the average radiator cost for other vehicles, but that can be said for many of the other parts for the 370z in general. Here's just one example; look how much HKS exhaust fluctuate between models. Many of them are even very similar designs:
HKS USA Hi-Power Exhaust

The point is, comparing parts from different cars isn't getting you anywhere. If you find a radiator and condenser combination that is cheaper, then we have something to talk about

I hope this helps!

OK, Mike, fair enough. Your points are well taken and yes, I did miss the fact of the condenser component being added to the equation--not just a straight-ahead radiator comparison. Take care.
