You are new here so let me be the first to tell you to stay the he'll away from gtm. They robbed well over 100 forum members/370z owners out of an insane amount of money and nobody on this forum will do business with them because of it. I never lost a dollar with them thank God but we think of this group as an extended family (even the few azzholes) so when a shite company like gtm rips our family members off and gets away with it we get pissed and refuse to give those clowns any more money. So if you decide to deal with them thinking that your experience will be different you can't say you haven't been warned

:icon17: I appreciate the welcome. However I'm not as new as I look. I've been reading this forum since 2011 - when I purchased my Z. Matter of fact, I was going to make a thread soon about how awesome everyone on this site has been, DIY guides, pics, builds, pricing, vender deals etc. and of course the occasional trolling - its all brilliant and I learned quite a bit. Might even donate. *The quiet guy spectating in the background*



I'd like to thank everyone that's probably going to read this (most likely a veteran here) hat goes off to you guys + the admins :tiphat:



On a second note, I'm actually quite surprised to hear this about GTM, and I guess I haven't researched their "credibility" enough. Theres people out there, one of my personal friends included that swears by GTM. Believe it or not I was talking to Sam@GTM a few months ago about sending my car over to the west coast so they can install everything I'm purchasing, I was getting ready to drop close to 35Gs on my build and just read this....:ugh:

If you are dropping that type of money into your car you should send it to Tony @ Fast Intentions. Better kit and definitely better customer service. Oh and the positive side is he won't screw you out of your money.



GTM has good products but Sam is a crook. It's a shame because they have a few products they 'used' to make I would love to have on my car.

I've had a terrible experience with csf but not all of it was their fault but I paid Nissan almost double what my radiator cost to install it and about 4k miles later it's leaking. They (csf) had problems with the new triple pass that came out last year but I think I heard it's been fixed but I just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in

Not good for CSF or their customer service! And this post was updated a year ago. Now idk what to buy.

Well i just got sponsored for 2017 with CSF. So fingers crossed it works out on all ends both cooling and zero issues.

if you face any issue with the CSF radiator can you post that up here? Or does the sponsorship agreement/terms prohibit you from doing so?

So far customer service for sponsories is 100%!

Replace the drain plugs and washers before you put it in. I needed to clean out the threads in the drains too.

Do the CSF ones suck?



I do hear a rattle inside. Wonder if I should wash it out.





On a side note. I think I'm going to angle the radiator forward and try vent the heat out of the hood. Most that do this I see them tilt the radiator back not forward but forward makes more sense to put a vented shroud around it and angle it up and out.

Their drains weld themselves in place after some mileage. They're aluminum, so they just break off. Anti seize didn't make a difference. The rubber washers under the plugs crack and break apart after a few heat cycles. McMaster Carr has some metal crush washers with a rubber insert that work really well. DE.50 set me up with a set of brass drain plugs. See if he has another set. It's not an install you want to do more than once.

Gotcha. I'll ask him. :tup:

As for install, it's super easy for me. Remove twist locks, two hose clamps, done. All my front upper stuff is removed so the radiator just comes right up and out. Just open the hood is the hardest part haha.

**** off. :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

I've got to pull the whole damn front end off. Sure, if I didn't have the condenser, oil cooler, intercooler, etc in front it would probably be pretty simple.

Ain't going to matter when you have an epic failure with Mishimoto crap. I'd put a factory radiator back in before I would ever consider anything from Mishimoto.

Well almost at 3 years (not even 10k miles) with my CSF and now it started leaking. The leak is coming from the b tubes. took weeks to get answers back from CSF. They don't stand behind their product and now I have a 550 dollar paper weight. Will be purchasing a mishimoto soon because at least they have a lifetime warranty.
