both fit.
working better is a matter of usage.
in Chicago right now a 1" would work better.
in phoenix on july30th a 1 5/8" would work better

I'm not sure which tranny you have,but just so you know, all koyo radiators are for manual transmissions,as there are no hookups for auto transmission coolinf lines..

they do have the fittings for the A/T
you are probably confusing the Koyo racing line with the stock replacement ones.

My koyo stock replacement has AT lines, and it was from a MT car. I bought it used tho and its for my 240. But I'm sure it'd be the same for every other car too.

As for Koyo radiators for our Maximas, I did a search on eBay for "Koyo Maxima" and saw 2 auctions that seem to sell the Koyo radiators for all trim levels of our cars for around $100 plus shipping. Koyo Manufacturer Part # C0048. I wonder if that is the right one.

in that case you can get a racing-line Koyo radiator and an aftermarket tranny cooler and you're good to go, right?

Is that an OEM replacement radiator or a performance/upgrade version?
