Greetings. I am new to this forum. I recently purchased a 2012 370Z Nismo. I have had it about 5 months, and enjoy it very much. Driving a few days ago it quickly overheated. I discovered the radiator was empty. I filled it and drove home only to find it leaking badly. I cant see exactly where it is leaking but looking in from the front, I can see it dripping quite rapidly from the passenger side corner of the radiator. I suspect it has cracked a seam. I am pretty sure it has an aftermarket CSI radiator in it. My question to this forum is: how big of a job is it to remove and replace the radiator from this car? Reading the service manual-it sounds to be a big job-probably more than I would want to get into. The service manual says some of the AC system must be removed, and it must be evacuated and refilled? Is this correct?
Thanks for any advice/information.
