go for it
you need to modify your mounts anyway...... so i think you should do it.
hey
i use a Primera/G20 Radiator and it looks like all Nissan Rads are the same size in high and width.

i even trayed a Micra one-->lol would fit too

radiators made for automatic transmission cars are different from ones made for manual transmission cars. make sure the radiator has an auto. trans. fluid cooler or you'll need an external unit.

one thing to note, you'll probably have to permanently seal up the radiator cap on the lower of the two caps.

No just use a cap that has a higher pressure rating.
