Need Help Installing New Radiator and transmission Cooler in my TT!!!

[izmyttz]

Ok so I got my new AMS radiator in today! Looks badass! I removed the old stock radiator. This consisted of the 2 large radiator hoses the upper and lower. I then removed the 2 transmission cooler lines that are on the drivers side of the radiator. Now with the radiator out I was wondering 3 things

What is this cooler? that is in front of the old radiator?

And what exactly is this little cooler? The oil cooler? I thought it was.

And last question..Since I have the radiator out and enough space to replace the thermostat with the NISMO one ..Which pipe is it behind? The upper or lower water pipe going into the engine? Or the water pump that the fan is attached to? I bought a new gasket to replace the old one..just not sure where the thermostat is hiding...Thanks guys. I am shooting for tomorrow to do this.

Oh yeah..I found out I'm missing one of the rubber boots for the radiator to fit into..can I get one of these at the autoparts store?

Ok a couple questions I have found the answers to by searching Courtesy Nissan. The first answer I found was the thermostat location..it is with in the lower water pipe connecting to the the engine. Seen here in this imageAnd second I found the lower rubber radiator mounts for the new radiator. Seen here in this image. So basically the questions I need answered are the cooler questions. Also it Looks like Courtesy Nissan recommends a liquid gasket for the thermostat...can I use the paper one that I got from the autoparts store? Thanks guys. Hope this post can help some of you other guys wanting to replace your radiator and NISMO Thermostat!

the thing behind your radiator is your condensor, it's a part of your a/c system, the thermostat is behind the lower of the 2 pipes, and that is your oil cooler up front
