Mishimoto Radiator and Thermostat and Z1 coolant hoses installed on my JDM 350Z Nismo, to repair my cracked OEM radiator.

After seeing coolant on the ground and then spotting a crack on my Nissan Radiator, I decided to upgrade the radiator, thermostat and coolant hoses.

I went with Mishimoto radiator, with the OEM fan. This is a very tight fit, with the VQ35HR engine.

I also replaced the thermostat, with a Mishimoto one. This again gave me problems, as the Mishimoto version is thinner than the OEM one and the OEM bolts are too long.

Finally upgrade was coolant hoses, replacing the OEM ones with Z1 blue silicone hoses.

We finish with adding the coolant and burping the system.

First time to do this, didn't exactly go smoothly but go it done in the end.
