Product Description

Z1 Off-Road Cooling Upgrade Kit for the Nissan Frontier / Xterra / Pathfinder models equipped with the 4.0L VQ40 powertrain. This upgrade kit will keep your engine running at a lower temperature whenever under excessive load.

At the heart of this Z1 Performance Aluminum radiator is a massive 42mm core (60% thicker than OEM), the thickest core that will properly fit in the factory core support. The increased core thickness provides substantially greater coolant volume and surface area, allowing for improved heat dissipation under heavy loads, high ambient temperatures, towing, off-road use, or forced induction applications.

Coupled with the Z1 Performance Radiator is the Z1 Silicone Radiator Hose Set that is unlike the conventional stock rubber hoses that deteriorate over time, dry rot, and ultimately crack this silicone hose will stay soft and never degrade. (Please select your preferred silicone color before adding to cart)

The Mishimoto Low-Temperature Thermostat opens at 62°C / 144°F , rather than the OEM Thermostat which opens at Opens @ 177° - 182° F , which will reduce and maintain cooler engine temperatures under excessive loads. New upper and lower radiator mounts are included to ensure your newly upgraded radiator will not be damaged by your old worn-out rubber mounts.

This OEM Upgraded Thermostat is originally from the 2003-06 Nissan 350Z and features the same fit as as the standard Thermostat for the VQ40 but with a lower opening temp of 170° F compared to the factory VQ40 177° - 182° F opening.

Definitely helps cool the engine after adding some power and the heavy ARB Bull Bar! Pair this with the OEM Thermostat and Fan Clutch in good working order and you will have excellent cooling on the trail, while towing and still have a working heater when it's cold out! If you have a heavy Remote Tourer, then this is a good purchase.

Excelente producto una calidad inigualable. Pequeños detalles hacen la diferencia. Super recomendado.

Shipped quickly and was pretty easy to install if you've done this kind of thing before - it replaced the stock radiator on our Xterra and felt like a quality product when unboxing. It has a transmission cooler built in like the stock one too

Excellent kit and really dresses the engine bay up. Delivered resonably quickly and we'll packaged.

Just installing my kit, besides the radiator cap needing trimmed up the kit fit flawlessly. Would recommend having a diagram of where each hose goes, may be a bit confusing for some.

Much better upgrade than the plastic trimmed factory one that cracked on me.

Great kit. Easy install and runs noticeably cooler with the upgraded thermostat!

Operates as advertised! My 06' Xterra runs much much cooler during operation with the Mishimoto thermostat combination. The red silicon tubes look great! The radiator looks great too, nice and shiny; solidly built.

Really high quality. Not a difficult job, but zero instructions. Lots of stickers, no instructions ( had to search for the overflow tank hose location). I did the heater core bleeder at the same time.
