I recently got the opportunity to offer my car as a test fitment car to Mishimotor to help with the development of their new radiator for the GT.
I'm happy to report that it is a very high quality and a huge upgrade over the stock unit. The over all fitment and attention to detail was great, and we only found one small difference in the way the stock rubber boots fit over the bottom mounts of the radiator, that we reported back to the company and should be corrected by the time the production models hit the streets. However, just like with Koyo or any other extra large radiator, you will have to trim your radiator shroud a little bit on a turbo or swapped car because the shroud hits the turbo, and it is a bit of a tight fit down there. Stock 5sfe owners shouldn't have a problem with this, however. I'm not sure about pricing or when it will be available, but keep an eye for these as they are a great product and even come with their own radiator cap!  Here are some cell phone pics. I'll try to get something better up later on.
