SS30RR Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 So you can probably tell I've been having some cooling issues. Just realised theres a pressure leak on the grill. Can anyone recommend a stock or aftermarket radiator that've bought? I'm looking to keep the stock fan. I've looked in ebay and they all seem to have a ushaped lower outlet. However mines just a simple straight out horizontal one. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-CORE-race-aluminum-radiator-datsun-240Z-260Z-/280887334659?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4166309703#ht_1103wt_919 Thanks Will.

SS30RR Posted July 31, 2012 Author Posted July 31, 2012 just realised I might have a 280zx radiator hence the straight lower outlet. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1975-76-77-78-Datsun-280Z-All-Aluminum-2-ROW-Champion-Radiator-EC634-/170885291949?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item27c98e9fad#ht_5176wt_1341 Quote
Riceburner Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 I ran a used 280zx radiator and it sits below the radiator cross member by a fair way. Can be prone to damage. I looked into getting my original one re-cored and was quoted around $400. I got a 'Champion' 3row aluminium type with fans and shroud shipped to my door for quite a bit less. Has worked great. Quote

Riceburner Posted August 2, 2012 Posted August 2, 2012 Not sure as I don't run the stock fan, they usually list the thickness in their adds. So it would be just a case of measuring your gap from fan to radiator support. That 3core eBay add says it's 80mm thick. Quote
