Story Time:
I’ve been trying to put performance parts into my 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe. So far I haven’t done anything too wild, only rebuilt my suspension w/ coil overs, new set of wider wheels, and some body work, but a problem I’m always running into is how the plastic portions of my radiator keep cracking.
Question:
Unfortunately for me, nobody makes the full aluminum performance radiators that just fits in the stock radiator housing, and I was thinking of taking this one of two ways. Either A) I rebuy a OEM radiator, and take off the plastic side bodies, and weld my own aluminum reservoir, or B) buy a performance radiator for a 350z and figure out how I can mount it. Only issues I run into for both, is that I don’t know how to weld, and don’t know how hard the first option would be, and for the second option, the compressor mounts onto the radiator, so I would also need to figure out how I can mount the compressor onto this radiator for a different vehicle, so I can have working ac.
or if anyone just knows where I can find a full aluminum radiator that’ll fit my 2009 Nissan Altima Coupe, then s*** that would just make it a lot easier lol.
