Radiator: CSF or Mishimoto?

bullitt5897

for the 4.5L motor I am running GTM's Competition radiator and Spal fan setup. This is a really hot running motor. and everything works well but I believe its too much for a stock displacement car...

Considering no one will ever get a GTM Product again, let alone a radiator... I'd say your unicorn is just that, a unicorn, lol

Just curious Gale, why will no one buy another GTM product again? I thought they were good??

Probably because in exchange for money they dont even give you an empty box !??!?!?!

You are new here so let me be the first to tell you to stay the he'll away from gtm. They robbed well over 100 forum members/370z owners out of an insane amount of money and nobody on this forum will do business with them because of it. I never lost a dollar with them thank God but we think of this group as an extended family (even the few azzholes) so when a shite company like gtm rips our family members off and gets away with it we get pissed and refuse to give those clowns any more money. So if you decide to deal with them thinking that your experience will be different you can't say you haven't been warned

I appreciate the welcome. However I'm not as new as I look. I've been reading this forum since 2011 - when I purchased my Z. Matter of fact, I was going to make a thread soon about how awesome everyone on this site has been, DIY guides, pics, builds, pricing, vender deals etc. and of course the occasional trolling - its all brilliant and I learned quite a bit. Might even donate. *The quiet guy spectating in the background*

I'd like to thank everyone that's probably going to read this (most likely a veteran here) hat goes off to you guys + the admins

On a second note, I'm actually quite surprised to hear this about GTM, and I guess I haven't researched their "credibility" enough. Theres people out there, one of my personal friends included that swears by GTM. Believe it or not I was talking to Sam@GTM a few months ago about sending my car over to the west coast so they can install everything I'm purchasing, I was getting ready to drop close to 35Gs on my build and just read this....

or they will

I upgraded from the mishi to the csf triple pass as well. Nothing wrong with the mishi quality-wise, but the csf dropped temps a noticeable amount at the track.

I've had a terrible experience with csf but not all of it was their fault but I paid Nissan almost double what my radiator cost to install it and about 4k miles later it's leaking. They (csf) had problems with the new triple pass that came out last year but I think I heard it's been fixed but I just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in

What did you replace it with? I'm on my second CSF in three years, and I think I have a leak in the second one. It's only been in the car for 7 months - ~3000 miles. Changing radiator is getting old.

Anyone tried this from HPI Japan 50mm core?

RHDJapan : HPI Radiator Evolve & Radiator Rescue Set M/T - Z34 Fairlady Z

rhdjapan.com regularly have 8-10% off deals every week plus $100 discount for newbie's

Cant find much info about it though

They also have a pretty neat oil cooler for Z's albeit a little pricey


Thoughts?

Although CSF has had some leaking issues, it's still the best option if you are looking to upgrade. Also the people I know that have had issues have gotten support from CSF.

Whatever you do don't put Mishimoto crap on your car. If that's the way you are leaning stick with the factory radiator.
