Over continuous heat cycles, prolonged thermal expansion, and internal cooling system pressurization up to 16 PSI, the factory polymer tanks embrittle, craze, and fracture. The crimped seam joints inevitably weep coolant under operational load, leading to rapid coolant loss, severe thermal spikes, and dangerous overheating conditions that put the aluminum cylinder heads of the \u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e at risk of warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to resolve structural weaknesses, this direct-fit unit features an all-aluminum performance construction with robust TIG-welded tanks and a furnace-brazed 2-row tube-and-fin core. Eliminating the failure-prone crimped plastic tanks, the heavy-duty aluminum construction delivers superior tensile strength and burst pressure resistance. The enlarged secondary row substantially increases fluid capacity and convective heat transfer surface area, efficiently countering thermal soak during extended idling or high-load highway driving. With precision-placed brackets and factory-spec inlet\/outlet hose barbs, it drops seamlessly into the OEM front radiator support, maintaining factory fan shroud clearances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2003-2007 Nissan Murano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eZ50\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e245 hp \/ 246 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRD-922-902-M0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2003-2007 Nissan Murano 3.5L V6 (SL, SE, S)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the Z50 Murano?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, this is a direct fit for the 2003-2007 Nissan Murano equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eVQ35DE\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse my factory cooling fans and mounting hardware with this radiator?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, the mounting points and fan shroud brackets are engineered to mate directly with the OEM fan assembly and stock rubber isolators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Nissan Durability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to handle the rigorous duty cycles of the \u003cstrong\u003eZ50\u003c\/strong\u003e crossover platform, this all-aluminum core ensures sustained cooling capacity and zero-leak reliability under heavy commute and towing loads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50511756067064,"sku":"DS-EQ97IHR9G","price":154.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/aluminum-radiator-for-nissan-murano-2003-2007-3-5l-1.jpg?v=1789419043","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/aluminum-radiator-for-nissan-murano-2003-2007-3-5l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
