My C210 radiator is leaking... so maybe it's time to grab a shiney aluminium one from ebay or what have you. There is plenty of Z and later model nissan stuff coming out of Hong Kong and the states, however nothing specifically for my car. Anyone else know what will bolt straight up besides 240k? I'm thinking likely suspects are R30, 280zx perhaps others. Anyone know for sure?

Cheers!

Drew, I took one to a radiator place the other day to get flushed as I destroyed the one I had in the car when the fan flexed. The guy told me it was a V8 holden one.

The stampings are as follows ADRAD 12 HOL 950 24102. bottom outlet is the same and for the top inlet you can get a hose to suit.This radiator was in the 4 door donor car I bought. This is about to have twin thermos attached then placed into my coupe. Hope this helps. Ricky

Thanks - that's interesting to know. My radiator is 68cm wide by 50cm high. The bolt holes are about 66cm by 25 cm. If you are in drivers seat looking towards the front of the car the hoses connect to the top right and bottom left of the radiator. The hoses connect perpendicular to the radiator - they aren't coming off at strange angles or anything.

My first car was a C210. I never had any real problems with overheating (Even with ac). Unless your running heaps of compression I would have the stock one reconditioned. It you find the right workshop, they will put a better core in it!

Pretty sure the old-school radiators connect top-passenger-side, bottom-driver-side, which is opposite to what you have described.

Drew, I'm inclined to agree with blind elk regarding the inlet/outlet. Any way my bolting up holes are quite similar. Both radiators I have are different, according to the radiator guys one is a 6 cylinder holden and the other is V8 holden. both are from HQ to HX roughly but they both fit. You may have to redrill some hole, mine has a few different holes already.Both measure approx 68cm x50cm. Ricky

You're right about the hoses. Im just cross-eyed. The radiator is leaking from the bottom of the radiator itself, not the core, which is a bit odd. I chucked a nasty spare radiator in there for the time being, but will keep an eye out for a better long-term arrangement. My C210's have had a history of sweating a little at 110km/h on hot days.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
