Thanks for the call today, Ravi. Look forward to getting this problem sorted out.

Mine is going in Monday and I'm hoping there are no A/C problems because it is nasty hot here right now.

Based on my experience, I think they key is taking some precautions when installing it so that the o-rings don't get damaged or blown out. Give SpecialtyZ a call and they can tell you how they remedied mine.

My understanding is that CSF is making some design tweaks to address these issues. Glad to see them proactive with making a better product.

I will say that the engine/oil cooling of this coupled with the FI oil cooler has been fantastic.

I'm not installing it but I will make sure the shop is aware of this thread. Glad to hear it's working well, in this heat I've only been able to do 2-3 laps before overheating the car. I have an oil cooler and its usually reading 220ish when the water is overheating bad so I'm hoping this is the end of that.

I don't/can't have the triple pass (7AT), but I have upgraded to their newer design. And right off the bat you can see there is more ability to cool and for air to pass through

what do you mean? I thought there was only the original CSF and the newer design is the Triple pass

and why wouldnt it work for automatic?

What?

Z1 has this on their listing "Only Automatic Transmission specific unit available. This unit will work with Manual Transmission models with no issues."

NEW! 370Z / G37 Manual Triple Pass Upgraded Radiator & Condenser

Is this a mistake?

Earlier in this thread, I believe CSF said the Triple Pass version didn't have an AT cooler integrated (like the factory unit and the original CSF for Autos).

Exactly. Beat me to it. But the new design for the 7AT cools better too

I guess I will call Z1 in the morning to find out what they sold me. I have a trans cooler in the car so that shouldn't be a problem.

Wellllllll... Did your radiator have extra holes for a trans cooler hose hookup?

And I would've gotten the manual one, but in my mind the best setup is from trans to trans cooler, to trans/radiator cooler to not OVERcool the trans fluid

JWillis72 · 08-24-2014, 03:07 PM

Not sure it was shipped the the shop and arrived late Friday so I haven't seen it.

Well you guys were right, the one they sent doesn't have a trans cooler in it. We installed it anyway so it's time for a larger trans cooler!

JWillis72 · 08-25-2014, 06:05 PM

Anyone no how big the cooler was in the stock radiator? If it's little I don't want to get carried away on a new one since it already has a Stillen 19 row cooler on it.

A whole 7 rows.
The thing is that you don't need more cooling, it's more that you don't shock the trans by putting 'cold' fluid back in. So the one in the radiator actually is more a stabilizer
