The CSF radiator fits in the factory spot without much if any modifications, it is what I have.
Other upgrade is the fans, GTM has a pre-made kit that plugs in and goes. You can probably piece it together cheaper but will have to wire it all up.

I've got the fans on the list of "Items I'll buy from GTM once they get back in the business of actually sending parts out to people who send them money".

There's also a Nissan thermostat that opens ten degrees cooler than stock. I've got one on a shelf in the garage for the next time I'm in there where I can get to it.

Same, I am waiting for summer to finish my data logging with my hood and see what difference it made and then throw in fans on top.
Should bug a few other companies to make a similar setup, fan shroud, fans, wiring, all in one & ready to go.

Where you get that from? whats the part number please?

A CSF radiator fits just fine. Any size difference is on the engine bay side. And others have managed to squeeze a bigger heat exchanger in there.

Thank you both for the info on the radiator, I will have to look into that. I got on the list for GTM and even had a check ready to be mailed out but decided I didn't want to be part of that. I own a legal machine gun and was in a group by for new parts for it and lost some money so I'm just not very trusting of buying things before they are built. I would gladly pay more for the confidence that I will get what I'm paying for.

On the topic of water/meth injection, what are some of the pros v cons using this system?
JWillis, you want to use it for track purposes only, how hard is it to set it up like that?

I am not going to tune for extra HP so it's not that hard to set up. I think they said 3-4 hrs to install. If you don't tune for it there really are no cons, the pros are a great reduction in heat. The system I'm ordering comes so you can turn it off.

This is the kit.

not the same kit but this shows how it works.

Yeah, I heard the number in 09 but never could find solid proof until I created that thread.
There are references around the web about it that say 300TQ and everything but that was the first real details.

The one at home is 170, OE 370z is 180 and OE G37 2009+ is 190. Not sure why there's a difference.
