Installation and delivery

Due to clearance, this radiator is not compatible with the factory fan shroud. Mishimoto recommends the optional 12-inch electric fans (MMFAN-12) with the matching fan mounting kits (MMFAN-MOUNT). The radiator is intended for manual transmission cars. Automatic cars need a separate transmission cooler, such as the Mishimoto universal transmission cooler kit. Mishimoto rates the installation as medium. Then fill and bleed the cooling system carefully. The installation guide is available below. Lead time: 4 to 7 days.

A thicker aluminium core gives your Z3 the cooling reserve it needs on hot days and on track.
