It's here!
Well, sort of. I ordered a Koyo from Options Auto, but i received a Mishimoto instead. He did it by mistake because of my past invoice for the trans cooler. Fits like a glove though
Installed the new Razo plate bracket, supposed to angle plate 10 degrees, anybody notice the new license plate?

The radiator is for a Supra. Bolts right up to the car, no modifications. I extended the lines for the radiator and mounted a cooler in front of the a/c condenser. I have some good and bad news though. Good news is that the setup is running very well, will put up pics soon. Bad news is that i took it to a local radiator shop and it's very likely a i have a little leak in the head gasket on the left bank (passenger side) by the eighth cylinder. Pulled all eight plugs and there was definite colour change on it and rust :/ the rest had quite a bit of carbon built up. Cylinders three and five also had grease around the threads, possibly because of blow by, the breather is located right above number five.

Yes, please post pics of your final setup! 
Have you done a compression test or leak down test? If it's just a headgasket, that's not that bad to fix, more time consuming than anything.

Well, it does away with the plastic end tanks that are prone to failing on our 400's. It also has a lifetime warranty, a magnetic drain plug and 19lb high pressure cap. It's a dual core radiator, so it will cool the motors more effectively than the factory radiators. However, the quality and durability of Mishimoto i'm not sure about yet. Time will tell regarding that.

Alright, I did a compression test, numbers looked fairly good,
As follows, Cylinder 1 - 210psi
Cylinder 2 - 220psi
Cylinder 3 - 209psi
Cylinder 4 - 211psi
Cylinder 5 - 211psi
Cylinder 6 - 221psi
Cylinder 7 - 221psi
Cylinder 8 - 214psi
I know that cylinder 4,5 and 6,7 have the same psi, it's no mistake because i did one bank after the other.
