Remove the wire loom hold-downs from the front of

the radiator core support. Remove the brackets

securing the power steering cooler lines to the core

support.

• G35 Vehicles, All: Remove the foam inner bum-

pers on the driver and passenger sides of the

Charge Air Cooler mounting location. Locate and

remove the power steering hard line brackets.

Cut the threaded section off of the bracket just

removed. Install the threaded piece behind the

core support and clamp the hard lines to the front

of the core support as shown in

Fig. 8-a.

• G35 Vehicles, Automatic Only: Remove the

two rubber lines from the transmission cooler.

Remove the two rubber transmission cooler lines

from the junction on the passenger’s side frame

rail. Remove the hard lines with the rubber lines

still attached from the vehicle. Once the transmis-

sion cooler has been repositioned, connect the

cooler to the junction using the rubber line provid-

ed. Secure with factory clamps.

Using the supplied adhesive backed foam to insulate

the power steering cooler from the radiator, position

it as shown in Fig. 8-b. Install the snap connectors

on the free end. Cut off any excess that would inter-

fere with radiator fan operation.

Rotate any clamps that are pointing toward the front

of the vehicle so that they will not contact the charge

air cooler. Use the supplied zip-ties to secure the

wire loom to the air temp sensor and the power

steering hose.

Temporarily attach the two supplied matching metal

brackets to the bottom of the radiator core support

using two of the factory splash pan screws. (See

Fig. 8-c.)

Attach the remaining metal bracket to the charge

cooler using the supplied 1/4" x 3/4" hardware. (See

Fig. 8-d.)

Install the cooler in front of the radiator and rotate

the metal brackets to support it as shown.

Mark the plastic panels on either side of the cooler

for passage of the Ø2-1/2" cooler tubes. Remove the

cooler and drill a horizontal 2.5" hole (minimum)

through each of the plastic panels. (If the vehicle has

foam blocks that interfere with the discharge ducts,

remove the foam from the vehicle.)

Reinstall the cooler. Connect the upper cooler brack-

et to two of the factory screws that secure the front

bumper. Align cooler for best fit and tighten the four

screws that attach the bracket.
