Aluminum Radiator Replacement

Hello guys, I have a 1999 Maxima SE-L (turbo'd) with a bad radiator, I want to go Aluminum, either 2 or 3 row. I have read in here that the Griffin Radiator is a good brand for the Maxima. I went to their website, but they do not offer one for my year, is there a different model to run?

Other than Griffin and Mishimoto, who else has/sells reliable Aluminum 2 or 3 row radiators for the Maxima? Also, are any from eBay worth looking at?

Thanks guys for your help

You have to call Griffin, they'll make you one specific for the Maxima. That's what I and others did in the past. It's not common and hence not listed on their website.

FWIW the 2 row ebay aluminum radiator cores are 1.75" thick. I've been running one of those for 3 years.

why not get the Mishimoto one?

just checked out their website ( Griffin ) I wonder if they make custom fans that will out perform the stock fans.

Does anyone know if there is a difference between LHD and RHD radiators? I spoke to Mishimoto about getting an aluminum rad for my Max and they said they weren't prepared to sell me one as they couldn't guarantee it would fit.

I would be like 90% sure that the answer is "The radiator is the same for LHD and RHD," but check out this thread and judge for yourself:
