Which radiator? Moshimoto or KOYO

As title says, need to buy a radiator but not sure whether to go with Moshimoto or Koyo, which do you guys think is better and why?

Thanks in advance.

BTW Moshimoto shipped $240
Koyo shipped $107

What's different compared to the 00 Maxima? Try calling them.

Also, any reason why you need one of these bad boys vs a "normal" unit?

Not sure of your driving habits, intent with the car, etc.

But, IMO, either should be fine .... unless you autocross in Death Valley.

True, I've heard horror stories in here about the OEM plastic radiator.

Not sure if this has been spoken about, but what are the differences between the 4th gen and 00-01 and 02-03?

It be nice to have this as an option.

go to the Mishimoto website, they sell universal radiators as well. last time i checked out Mishi stuff they had rads for 4th gens and up

theyre better than OEM ones because theyre all-metal radiators, no plastic. i dont even bother with plastic ones anymore

I ordered mine off ebay. They are cheap and sometimes they come in package deals with their slim fans too! I have aftermarket slim fans. Mishimoto fits 5.5 gen just fine.

the bottom mounting slots for the electric fans are different thats all.you can use some of them oil/fluid cooler mounting straps that go thru the fins to mount the bottom of the fan assembly to the mish rad.

I believe the 4th gen Mishimoto radiators fit the 5th gens. If you have an auto, you'll need a seperate trans cooler to run the lines to.

I also have a mishimoto. I highly recommend one. I've compared the 95-99 mishi rad to the 5th gen and it looks like everything would fit fine.
