I wish you the best of luck with the Ron Davis radiator installation. I purchased a Ron Davis radiator they will not fit your 370Z without major modifications there is not enough room with the condenser. The Ron Davis radiator is not a direct fit radiator. You should have purchased CSF all aluminum triple pass radiator I purchased one for all Z’s they are a direct fit,excellent quality,and all the CSF radiators I had never leaked coolant. The Ron Davis radiator must have set you back a pretty penny as they are over priced.

I knew that coming into purchasing the Ron Davis. It’s a proven radiator, with all the leaks that have been surfacing, I’d rather not chance something lettting loose while I’m on the track. Guy I follow has his installed and running on his boosted Hr. Fits like a charm.

I wish you the best of luck with your Ron Davis radiator installation getting it to fit. My Ron Davis radiator fit like a over sized buck tooth.

Not to hijack the thread here, but CSF does have many misses on the forums. I for one went through 3 of their radiators, all ended up leaking.

I would have to search this forum, but I’ve read of them breaking and not holding up to the high levels of torque, also people having to send it back multiple times because they were having issues. Maintenance, bad installations, could be the cause, I have no idea.

Car is packed And ready to go this week.

The problem is regardless of the radiator and Elmo is not doing CSF, with intercooler in the way air flow is really restricted so having larger radiator you need more air flow. Anyway I am looking forward to Elmo's results.

That’s something I will discuss with them.
