OP, I would think you could just get a 34 row Mocal or Setrab core and just reuse your existing stillen oil lines and thermostatic plate.

It might be, this is the original image from 2009-2010 when the radiator just hit the market, so it might be different now today with changes & updates.

Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought the 7011 was the one without the condenser.

Bottom line buy the 7012. That's the one Z1 stocks as that's where I got it from.

1. z1 Motorsports 370Z upgraded CSF rad w/condenser and 30 mm thick core, factory/OEM fit.
It has new dryer, and lines. Am I safe to assume the OEM fan/shroud will all be good when this goes in?
2. z1 370Z/G37 34 row oil cooler kit, Oil sandwich plate adapter thermostatic, with protective hose wrapping and Setrab core.
3. z1 Red silicone hoses....

yes?

On the thermostat end there is only 1 choice, the stock one is very good and the only true upgrade for a street car is the OEM 2008 g37 one. Between a CSF radiator and lower the fan kick on temp you will do a very good job. You can also look at upgrading the fans & shroud but only one option with that right now if you want plug n play other wise you have to order the fans & wire it yourself while also building a shroud to fit.

Looks good. I had to reuse the factory ac lines as we couldn't get the CSF ones to fit. I porbably could have forced it but there was no reason with the oem still in good order.

Oh and buy t-bolt clamps as you don't want to use worm drive on silicone

Like any aftermarkey part you might have to trim a little. I had to file off some of the fanshroud support to get the CSF to fit properly. Nothing major or anything to deter you from purchasing.

Ya...I hate regular hose clamps. The red silicone will last, and look good too...
z1 Motorsports in Carrolton Ga. right? Not z1 Performance auto...
I couldnt find any 7011 or 7012 reference number...
Amazon has one, just doesn't list enough specs...$50 cheaper too...

Z1 in Carrolton. Call and ask for Jon Partham, he'll take care of you and might give you a little discount for package purchase.

FWIW as far as radiators go, my CSF stripped both the drain and bleeder port threads after having it on the car for about 2 weeks. the mishimoto I put in after looks and works great, runs cooler.

As for thermostats, I wouldn't run the mishimoto's as they have been known to come apart internally.

Chuck33079 · 04-28-2014, 06:30 PM

I had issues with a drain plug snapping off, but my CSF was still better than the Mishimoto I ran on my last car. That one fit like crap.

Nismo6972 · 04-28-2014, 06:40 PM

Did CSF help out, or warranty anything, or was it a write off?
2 weeks in, may be a manufacturer defect?

In my case I was outside of the warranty period, but CSF made me an amazing deal on a replacement. They could have told me to **** off, but they have me a great price.

Nismo6972 · 04-28-2014, 06:56 PM

Thats the kind of people I want to do business with.
