Today we brought our Project Nissan 350z to the Universal Technical Institute campus in Rancho Cucamonga, California for our KW Suspension installation. I wanted to thank everyone at the campus including Dennis Rudolph that helped us connect with the students for the installation. The suspension has great independent rebound and compression adjustability that makes the 350z perform top notch!
A full installation will come later but I wanted to thank the students that helped us out today on the install. They include Tyrone Campbell, Richard Beard, Saul Ramirez, Lee Woods, JJ Chen, Justin Pinnix, Oscar Perez, Sean Ford, Jose Guerrero, Tim Olesijuk, Cicel C., Hussain H., and Miria Ryekas.
Appreciate all the help students!

Installing: KoyoRad Performance Radiator
Tools Needed: 10mm Socket/Ratchet
Pliers
Screw Driver (for removing fan connectors)

We tossed the car on a lift and removed the bottom pan of the 350z. We had a ton of stuff to install so this was just going to make life more difficult.

You can see now with that sheet removed you can easily see everything under the motor. At the very top of the photo is the stock radiator we will be removing.


Remove and put the factory radiator shroud and cover piece to the side as you will want to place it back over your new radiator.

The 10mm will be used to remove the fan from the back of the radiator. You will need to place this piece back on the Koyo radiator when it is installed as well.

Before sliding the radiator out make sure you disconnect the hoses. Once you have that done go ahead and pull out the factory piece.

Remove the new radiator from it’s box and your almost complete with this installation.


The new radiator is the same size as our factory one so the fitment is perfect and getting it in place is simple. Here is our new Koyo radiator sitting in it’s final position.

Our old radiator cap went in the trash for this KoyoRad Hyper Cap.


The last two photos here show the fan and hoses connected back onto our new radiator. You can see one of the bolts that holds the fan onto the radiator in this second photograph. With this installed we have no concern about overheating with the supercharger kit we are adding on next.

Here was all of our installation parts a few days ago at LS Auto x Chris Forsberg Racing. We had a long week ahead of us getting most of these parts put on the car. Here was the pile we had to tackle.
