Has anyone replaced the stock radiator?
Well, mine has seemingly sprung a couple leaks. With uni-directional spraying inside the engine bay, and some getting all the way to right far side of the battery, I'm left with going to dealership, and having them rape me with a new Nissan one, or I thought of considering putting in a custom aluminum radiator. I don't know if anyone has done this before, I'm a pretty devote reader on maxima.org, and I didn't see anything while looking for all the 3.3 stroker motor posts, and all the VI nonsense. I haven't looked into any of the "universal" custom ones yet off of summit or some place like that. But I thought I'd ask the infinite wisdom of the few people on maxima.org.

Yep, changed mine about 3 months back. I had a leak right on the top. I suggest going to Discount Auto or Autozone and getting one for $170. Its very easy to install.
If I remember correctly, its a matter of 4 screws, a few vacuum hoses, and draining/refilling the antifreeze. Truthfully, DO IT YOURSELF. Its not worth paying another 150-200 for a mech. to do it.
